> The whole point of OpenClaw is to run AI actions with your own private data, your own Gmail, your own WhatsApp, etc. There's no point in using OpenClaw with that much restriction on it.

Hard disagree. I have OpenClaw running with its own gmail and WhatsApp running on its own Ubuntu VM. I just used it to help coordinate a group travel trip. It posted a daily itinerary for everyone in our WhatsApp group and handled all of the "busy work" I hate doing as the person who books the "friend group" trip. Things like "what time are doing lunch at the beach club today?" to "whats the gate code to get into the airbnb again?"

My next step is to have it act on my behalf "message these three restaurants via WhatsApp and see which one has a table for 12 people at 8pm tonight". I'm not comfortable yet to have it do that for me but I'm getting there.

Point is, I get to spend more valuable time actually hanging out and being present with my friends. That's worth every dollar it costs me ($15/month Tmobile SIM card).

Do you need the simcard for WhatsApp?
