> But NanoClaw isn't just my personal project anymore. Thousands of people are using it. People are running production workloads on it. Businesses are building on it. There's a real community now.<p>as OpenClaw and now NanoClaw became "enterprise", now we need a new FemtoClaw to pick up the indie/boutique place
How is this "becoming enterprise"? If anything it now defaults to millions of Linux users being able to access it
Could also make the other part ‘smaller’ and use nail, hoof or dewclaw (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewclaw" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewclaw</a>)

Well, there was Picoclaw, but I think it was renamed to Clawlet.
That's old news. Now there's Plancklaw, renamed to ∅. It has no code base, no bugs, no security issues, infinitely scalable, and all the features of every other *claw.
For my version of the AI assistant, I used a Docker container and Unix permissions:<p><a href="https://github.com/skorokithakis/stavrobot" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/skorokithakis/stavrobot</a><p>All plugins run in one Docker container, but they're isolated from each other by different *nix users, so they can't read each other's files. That's much more lightweight, and you don't have to run one container per plugin.<p>Crucially, plugins can't read each other's secrets or modify each other's code. I even have a plugin configuration webpage that doesn't go through an LLM, so the LLM never sees your secrets if you don't want to.
Putting these NanoClowns inside a container will not protect you from all kinds of safety hazards.
That's the fun part! You spend all day hardening it... run it in docker in a vm on a separate machine. And then you hook it up to your gmail and give it unrestricted internet access :)
Wearing a seatbelt will not protect you from all kinds of car accidents.
Yes. That's why you don't put a Clown behind the steering wheel.
It is more like getting in the car with Stuntman Mike. The risk is not that the driver might make a mistake but that it actively turns against you and a container is not a security boundary against an adversary.

Wearing a helmet will not protect you from all injuries caused by jumping off a cliff.<p>Point is, don't jump off a cliff.
I can't believe the solution is creating uncompatibile branch and forcing users to use cladue for resolving merge conflits. Why not bake in the dual compatibility?
Sensible, this broadens our hosting options.
apple container is really buggy with networking
Can someone explain the special sauce of the claws compared to just use claude.ai etc
There is no special sauce, it's mass hysteria driven by fake adoption metrics and people who don't know anything about computers who let "agents" run free on theirs. It's the equivalent of showing a magician cut a women in a box in half to a 5 years old kid... Put them in the same category as the neckbeards getting a hard on every 3 weeks for the past 2 years when they get to see the new version of ThE PeLiCaN On A BiCyCle... I wonder how long the circus will keep on going, at least it's funny to witness from the outside
They're "always" running, so they can notify you out of the blue, without you having to initiate a conversation. It's really nice UX to get a message from my assistant saying "hey, it's time to leave for the gym, and don't forget the supermarket bag because you're picking up milk on the way back, as you've run out".
Dunno, my calendar reminds me "out of the blue", without me having to initiate a conversation, that it's time to leave for the gym, no "claw" or "ai" involved.<p>I always have my backpack with me, so if I need milk I can pick it up on the way back. And I am pretty sure that I have to notice if I need milk myself.<p>The tech sounds cool, but whenever I hear about actual applications, I don't see the point.
Hmm, Google Gemini has access to my Google Tasks and can set reminders. It's also asked me if I want it to check something at "tomorrow 9am", and when I said yes, it managed to do that.
Yeah, that's kind of like it. Agents just have many many more integrations, so they can do many more things. For example, it knows all my preferences, and can search for flights and say things like "this one is more expensive, but skipping the morning wakeup is worth the $20".
But have you had consistently good experience with Google Gemini and Google apps? Or read the mixed reviews?<p>For me, Gemini has been hit or miss and somehow less useful than Assistant was 2+ years ago.
The coding assistant for VSCode is nuts (i.e. gets it wrong a lot, also one time it just got so confused).<p>I have Gemini Pro for free for a year because I bought a Pixel phone, it answers very fast, so I like it. Let's see how I'll feel about shelling out real money when the subscription ends. But on the phone, I still use Assistant (and just have a shortcut to launch the webpage in my browser), because the phone was forcing Gemini, but after 5 minutes of usage I found it was slower for my usages (usually I just tell it to set an alarm and add a reminder/calendar event), and when I asked about my tasks, Gemini would get the task listing from Google Tasks, and keep it in its history... that'll pollute my chat history!
How would it know you've ran out of milk?
How do people afford this?
Claude max $100 is way more usage than I need. And yeah its not running all the time, just has a heartbeat file telling it how to check something and run
A subscription, really. It doesn't <i>actually</i> run all the time, it just has a cron job that makes it feel that way.
Crons. A local daemon. System access as a user with the ability to listen to changes. Some idea of shared “memory” between sessions. Provider agnostic about AI. Multi-model.
It can schedule stuff and run in a loop, so it's like claude combined with cron. Truly amazing technology.
It's for people that don't know how or don't want to be bothered with setting up a messenger integration and a scheduler.
There is no special sauce. They are claude or codex in a loop. The loop is facilitated by basic cron jobs. That's it.<p>Ai Agent as it has been for months, plus skills, plus a cron job to prompt it to do things every 20 minutes or 2 hours or however often you want.
they have a watchdog loop, it runs periodically
So they're making it use OCI images? Cool. Hopefully there will be good support for Podman.
Use containers, Docker is cancer.
