What I Found
After two weeks using OpenClaw day to day, it feels powerful but not turnkey.
After spending about two weeks with OpenClaw, I wanted to get past the demo stage and talk about what it is actually like to live with it every day.
OpenClaw is not turnkey right now. In my setup, it has been more of a development process than a finished service. I am using it for journaling, knowledge tracking, image handling, RSS-based tech news, iMessage interaction, business notes, and model routing, but almost all of that depends on custom backend work and constant tweaking.
