Those impressed by OpenClaw are non-technical people highly interested in trying to make sense out of Ai for their own profit. There is really no use case for OpenClaw if you got tech talent.

I'm technical (e.g., I've been using Linux since 1995). I lead highly technical teams (Data Engineering, DevOps, and Data Science). I used to play ALL THE TIME with technical stuff; I loved to tinker. Over the years I fell out of love with this and just wanted things to work so I could do my job and relax outside of it.

OpenClaw is the first thing I've truly enjoyed tinkering with again. I can leverage both the technical side of things (working w/it to build automated grocery ordering for me on demand or setting up more home automation that's all integrated) as well as the non-technical (e.g., I love having it welcome me home when it detects I've not been at home for >1h or automatically adjust the thermostat up/down a few degrees based on the weather and my absence while knowing to move it back to the 'normal' when I'm returning).

To say that I don't have a use case for OpenClaw even though I can do all of the tech stuff is seriously demeaning and absurd.
