I’ve installed and tested Clawdbot twice and uninstalled it. I see no reason to use this unless it’s with local models. I can do everything Clawdbot can do with Claude Code innately and with less tokens. I found Clawdbot to be rather token inefficient even with Claude max subscription. 14k tokens just to initialize and another 1000 per interaction round even with short questions like, “Hey”. Another concern is there are no guarantees that Anthropic isn’t going to lock down Oauth usage with your Max account like they did with OpenCode.
1. you can do everything with CC but not while out and about, also CC isn’t proactive and doesn’t loop on things you’ve connected it to
2 they’ve recently optimized token usage
3. Anthropic did lock it down at the same time they did OpenCode, but the guys worked around it
I am trying so hard to understand wtf people are excited about. I have failed. Claude Code can run over-night or while I'm out. Clawdbot looks like a great way to set tokens on fire.
There are a lot of people with incentives to hype the AI industry (VCs, founders, CEOs, internet personalities that need clicks, people that sell courses, etc). Last week everyone was hyping Claude Cowork, this week it's Clawdbot. Don't get me wrong I think there are a lot of cool things going on but there is a lot of hype (similar to the original internet bubble).
