What's wrong with Open Claw. It is truly an amazing creation, but it is also a hot mess. I am using it, because I want to recreate the functionality on a far superior platform - /kilroy which eliminates all of the problems I outline below. DM me if you want to try Kilroy. 1. Zero support for local LLM inferencing out of the box and horrendous documentation for how to enable it for Ollama. The easiest solution is to have your agent do it. I fed it the @lmstudio rest API and it connected me to it and lets me know what is available and gives me load commands too. It's also slow, because it has to go through the agent to process the commands instead of the script in Open Claw directly. I wasted huge hours trying to get this working correctly, but finally have it. 2. So many moving parts in Open Claw that there are constant lags and hiccups with your agent. You are essentially running a pile of different python scripts with their own issues for running. 3. Because of how memory is stored and used, you will run out of context frequently even if you have 192k window. There's no model built in for compacting context to just critical issues before it runs out. I'm having my agent fix this too. 4. Security - It's a hot mess. Don't install this on a machine you care about and do not have any of your other account information or passwords or anything else personal on that machine. The machine must be completely clean before you start. 5. Agent communications - Agents don't always let you know what they are doing or if they are doing anything, so you constantly have to prod. I told mine to add regular comms to me on what is going on and what has been accomplished. If you are fairly technical and if you have a clean machine to install this on and if you are OK with creating local inferencing or paying a centralized provider to ingest all your date, then you will be OK, but it is a ton of work to get it working properly if you aren't. The model for how it works is mainly from how Claude works, but it does a lot more. It's just the combination of things that makes it really painful to get to how you want it.
