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.

What part is new? the thing that took off is that it allows technophiles who couldn't probably flash a raspberry pi to feel like they are hackers. All of this stuff exists in tons of random AI apps that exist already it just wasn't really that much of a value add, there is just a virality of it reaching audiences that previously only knew how to use a chat app.
