What are people using Claws for? It is interesting to see it everywhere but I haven’t had any good ideas for using them.

Anyone to share their use case? Thanks!

As far as I can tell it's mostly use-cases like "externalized claude code", accessible on mobile. Maybe the "agentic harness" is slightly tweaked for longer running tasks, but if it's really better claude code will copy the tweaks anyway, so I don't really see what the hype and point is.

My favorite use so far has been giving it a copy of my Calibre library. After having it write a few scripts and a skill, I can ask it questions about any book I’m reading.

This week I had it order a series internally chronological.

I could use the search on my Kindle or open Calibre myself, but a Signal message is much faster when it’s already got the SQLite file right there.

    This is interesting. Do you mean this is like chat with your book, or these are books you've already finished reading which you have a query over to ask? And does it search raw book text or metadata?

      I add books to Calibre in order to load them on my Kindle. Claw gets the Calibre files, including both metadata.db and full-text-search.db, via Syncthing.

      I can ask it to perform metadata updates, since it's a two-way sync, or ask questions about the content.
