I just can't get over how none of this is new. 6 months ago I was running "summarize my work" tasks using linear and github mcps

just using a cron task and claude code. The hype around openclaw is wild

A lot of it is, in fact, new.

The hype around OpenClaw is largely due to the large suite of command line utilities that tie deeply into Apple’s ecosystem as well as a ton of other systems.

I think that the hype will be short-lived as big tech improves their own AI assistants (Gemini, improved Siri, etc), but it’s nice to have a more open alternative.

OpenClaw just needs to focus on security before it can be taken more seriously.

I wouldn’t call it new, just conveniently packaged and with more momentum. I’ve been running an apple-mcp server on a Mac Mini for Claude to use to manage my reminders in addition to Gcal + gmail, and I could have just as easily added messaging capabilities.

Call me crazy, but… I feel more likely to trust Anthropic than anybody else when it comes to safety on things like this.
