Testing Clawdbot: What Actually Works 🦞

Been playing with Clawdbot this week and wanted to share my hands-on experience with what works (and what doesn't) after running several real tests.

Quick context: Clawdbot is that open-source "AI employee" everyone's been talking about lately. It can access your local files, calendar, and various apps through integrations. I've been testing it extensively to cut through the hype.

Here's what I found actually works well:

- Notion integration is solid (created and managed a Kanban board seamlessly)

- Spotify control works surprisingly well (played specific songs on command)

- Basic file operations and text generation are reliable

- API integrations (when properly set up) generally work as advertised

What's still rough:

- Browser control is hit-or-miss

- Voice cloning setup is more complex than advertised

- Some integrations require significant troubleshooting

- Response times can be slow

I'm focusing more on learning Claude Code for now, but I'd love to hear from others who've tested Clawdbot. Have you found any particularly useful applications? Or is it still too early/rough for serious use?

I'll keep testing and share more specific use cases soon. Drop your thoughts below if you've tried it!
