I’ve installed and tested Clawdbot twice and uninstalled it. I see no reason to use this unless it’s with local models. I can do everything Clawdbot can do with Claude Code innately and with less tokens. I found Clawdbot to be rather token inefficient even with Claude max subscription. 14k tokens just to initialize and another 1000 per interaction round even with short questions like, “Hey”. Another concern is there are no guarantees that Anthropic isn’t going to lock down Oauth usage with your Max account like they did with OpenCode.

1. you can do everything with CC but not while out and about, also CC isn’t proactive and doesn’t loop on things you’ve connected it to

2 they’ve recently optimized token usage

3. Anthropic did lock it down at the same time they did OpenCode, but the guys worked around it
