Comment on Ask HN: Is OpenClaw Still Worth Exploring or Is It “So Last Year”?parent

Comments

That’s how it seemed last year, but I never even took the type to look into it past hearing others discuss it on message boards or podcasts. I’ll be honest.

Just saw an ad for someone selling headless servers preloaded with OpenClaw that’ll sort your emails. A tool I really would like, particularly if it uses open models. Made me wonder if it’s time to investigate it and implementing what they’re selling.

you dont need open claw, any regular harness will do these days

the difference is mainly that you can interact with the agents via a phone chat app like telegram

Scion is an alternative I have my eye on

I'll be honest, i'm not up to date on the concept of a harness. Where should I look to learn more?

harness is the tool you interact with, like OpenCode. It's the thing that calls the llm API, has the system prompts, provides tools, etc
