> You can switch models multiple times (online/proprietary, open weight, local), but you have one UI : OpenClaw.
It’s only been a couple months. I guarantee people will be switching apps as others become the new hot thing.
We saw the same claims when Cursor was popular. Same claims when Claude Code was the current topic. Users are changing their app layer all the time and trying new things.
Memory. I have built up so many scripts and crons and integrated little programs and memories with open claw it would be difficult to migrate to some other system.
System of record and all.
Considering you have built them all in last few weeks, it should not be that difficult and no reason other systems won't reuse same.
Exactly! The whole point of personal agents is that the data is yours and it's where you want it not in someone's cloud. What harness you use to work with this should be a matter of preference and not one of lock in.

How hard do you think it would be for ai to generate all those for some alternative?
AI didn't do the work, I did. Building up context is the part we actually have to put work into. I'm not saying it would be impossible, but boy would it be annoying to have to constantly reach a new assistant about your whole life.

You can use OpenClaw to migrate these scripts off OpenClaw.
There will definitely be migration tools.
The new agents might have a feature to query your old agents for a migration.
That said, I find it really hard to believe that you've generated so much work in the past few weeks since OpenClaw launched that you could never migrate to something else. It hasn't been that long.
Unless I am mistaken, that is all plain old markdown, arguably the easiest to migrate format for such data there can possible be.
Heck, that was half the pitch behind Obsidian, even if the project someday ended, markdown would remain. And switching between Obsidian and e.g. Logseq shows the ease of doing so.
Sorry but for $5 in credits you can have an agent port over all your bullshit to the next fad. I'll have one port over all my bullshit when the time comes too.
Bring your system to my records.
The irony of systems of record is that if there is more than one, there are effectively none. Just data stuck in silos waiting for compute.
This effect isn't that important while the customer base is growing fast.
Have you heard about this thing called AI coding agent....
