For me, personal home IT “chores” that I’ve put off for years. I can do them, but god what a pain in the ass to spin up a VM, configure Prometheus, configure grafana, configure a bunch of collectors for my WiFi and network infrastructure, and then spend a night or three tweaking dashboards and re-learning promql or whatever.

I just end up never doing it. Got it done in a couple hours with openclaw.

I’m sure there are much better ways to do that, which I will now learn in time due to the initial activation energy being broken on the topic. But for now, it’s fun running down my half decade old todo list.

Writing blog posts and HN comments about how awesome OpenClaw is its #1 utility.

I wonder about this as well. I see people breathlessly talking about how it manages their inbox or checks flight statuses, but how often should you need a bot for these things?

I haven’t found ANY uses for it where it actually did what it was supposed to do.
