Clawdbot “Sucks” actually
I know i also made a post about clawdbot(moltbot) explaining what is it and how it works but, after researching,watching some other videos and trying it out myself…i came to the conclusion that it’s largely just marketing hype, with many of its touted features already available through other AI tools or basic software. Here are some of the key points that took me to this conclusion👇 - Lack of Innovation : While being able to schedule tasks and operate via phone is cool, these are not "paradigm shifts" as similar functionalities have existed for months through agentic workflows and cloud-based scheduling. - Crypto Pump and Dump Scheme : Much of the recent social media virality was driven by a crypto scam. After the project rebranded to Moltbot due to trademark request from Anthropic, Bad actors hijacked the original project's social media accounts and GitHub after a rebrand to Moltbot, launching a "Claude token" on Solana. this led to a 90% token crash after the scam was exposed. - Impractical Use Cases: the most touted use cases such as organizing folders, summarizing chats, or automated "good morning" texts are trivial tasks that do not justify the high cost or security risks. One user reportedly spent $300 in two days on basic tasks due to the high token consumption of the Opus 4.5 model. - Security Concerns : A major concern is the significant security risk. Many Clawdbot instances are hosted on VPS instances with open ports and zero authentication, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access and the theft of sensitive tokens. - Not Consumer-Ready: Even the creator of the project, Peter Steinberger, warned that "non-techies" should not install it yet, as the project is less than three months old and has many "sharp edges". Many users actually had to use the standard Claude interface just to debug their Claudebot installation. No Real Business Value : Ultimately, Clawdbot doesn't genuinely help users make money or significantly improve productivity. It's merely an "iterative improvement towards decentralized AI," but not a revolutionary product.
