Claude caught up pretty quickly. I think OpenClaw’s core value is the channel, heartbeat, and the open-source ecosystem.
And unfortunately I think hearbeats are a little cost prohibitive. I burn through my plus plan with half hour cadence heartbeats checking email.
I would rather they build something similar to openclaw than all these individual features that replicate functionality.
I mean you can just use /loop in both Claude Code and Codex for heartbeats.
Yes -- this is getting very close to ClaudeClaw. Next they'll offer cloud hosting of persistent execution.
