Trying to get OpenClaw agents to do useful work is like trying to win at trading crypto - only the top 1% win. The rest of us end up being the lobster meat for the host in the shell. OpenClaw agents are terrible at executing complex multi step processes that require delegation. I spent about 40 hours last week creating a framework for delegation, standards, accountability, workspace hygiene, commit cadences, capability logs and defining project success. Using all of this I spent 3 hours getting to an extremely well baked “definition of done” for a project to transcribe 200 hours of video content and make it into a semantic searchable knowledgebase. 3 phases, ~10 steps each phase. Clear outcome, clear success cases, clear failure modes, OpenClaw owns the process of doing. Today I am back micromanaging my agent, logged 10 or 15 regressions and generally have frustrated myself into a state of high stress. Constant failure. Fail after fail after fail. 2 steps forward 1 step back. It’s a fucking slog getting any real work done. But the alternative is it just doesn’t get done. I was under an illusion that Agents can autonomously do things for you. Nope. They are a tool. By installing openclaw you are creating a massive workload for yourself. It’s not like how the fantasy threads on here make it seem. I need to level-set my expectations on this tool. 200k context window = it forgets 80% of your processes multiple times a day. Regressions are as common as successes. I’m almost convinced all these ppl getting huge views on here have either: -no personal lives -tech teams helping them run their setup -just plain lying Or I’m just retarded.
