My molty has its own phone number now
Hey everyone, quick update on ClawCall (the AI phone calling skill for agents).
First off, a huge thank you to this community, we just crossed 10k downloads and are currently handling around 3000 live calls a day via skill and website at clawcall [dot] dev.
Now you can search by area code, reserve a number, and your OpenClaw agent uses that number by default when it makes calls for you. Same flow as before: tell your molty “call this place and ask X,” it writes the prompt, makes the call, handles menus/hold, and comes back with the outcome + transcript. All the same features, now with your dedicated phone number. All setup within 10 seconds.
This is also the groundwork for inbound call support later, where people can call that number back and the ClawCall agent can answer or route things properly. Not claiming that part is done yet, but that’s the direction.
Current useful bits:
- outbound AI phone calls from your agent
- live transcript + recording
- DTMF for phone menus
- bridge mode when the human needs to take over
- now: reserved phone number
Would love feedback from anyone who wants to stress test weird phone-call use cases. Giving out free 60 minutes.

Content will make you rich, but NOT SLOP!
As you can see my account has 115K karma and I love writing content. I recently helped a friend get to 50K on twitter in 2 months.
Why content matters now
Building products is "easy". Distribution is the bottleneck. And the cheapest distribution channel when you have no audience is content: tweets, Reddit posts, blog posts, LinkedIn. Content is the first skill you need to master to sell anything you ship.
Even outbound is content, it's how you will write the right DM to the right person at the right time.
What notslop is
A lot of friends asked me to share my content systems so I made a little CLI called notslop. Please do not expect magic, i built it in one day but i believe it's a good representation of the systems I hae in place.
With it you can:
- write a tweet, X article, LinkedIn post, Reddit post (tuned to the sub), Reddit reply, blog post, cold DM grounded in the recipient's recent posts
- REPURPOSE ANY OF THE ABOVE INTO ANY OF THE OTHERS (this one is important and it's how the best content is made)
- get a deduped feed of what is being said about a topic across the subs, blogs, and X accounts you care about, in 2 seconds. The same news from Reddit, HN, and X collapses to one entry, you don't have to scan 5 versions
- see what is trending in your niche right now, or track mentions of a topic over 7 days clustered into themes
- see the top voices on a topic, your favorite accounts, the experts you respect, anyone, and write your version grounded in what they actually said today
What is good content
Good content is timely. Most of what we say is repurposing. The thing that matters is having the right info at the right time, with the right tone and style.
For that, you need two things:
- A way to get timely and relevant data. I use Orthogonal for this. One API key, $10 free credits at signup, gives access to X scraping (and via ScrapeCreators, also Reddit, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc. for future skills).
- A way to rerank and embed that data. I use ZeroEntropy. zerank-2 takes the ~200 raw posts you scraped and picks the top 10 most relevant to your topic. zembed-1 dedups the same news appearing across Reddit, HN, blogs, and X (you only see it once) and clusters noisy mentions into themes. Raw scraped data is NOT usable as-is, Claude would drown in noise !! Rerank + embed are what turn it into context that fits in a prompt window and actually matters.
One warning
Please take notslop as an amplifier, not as something magical. AI is a big lever, it does not turn a bad take into a good post. If you have NOTHING to say it won't help you !!
Please contribute back
The 14 content skills are starting points. The quality ceiling on each surface comes from people who write that kind of content every day. If that is you, your taste is what is missing. Sharpen the relevant SKILL.md, send a PR.
Repo
I am not affiliated with ZeroEntropy or Orthogonal. You can use other models for reranking and embeddings, and other scrapers for the data. The code is MIT.

Problems with Openclaw on Android
For a couple of months now I have been successfully running OC on a Pixel2XL with Codex 5.3 and then 5.4 Oauth. I actually got it to do some impressive tasks for me but now I am stuck. I have spent more than a day trying to get OC working again after an upgrade from 4.27 to 5.12. I use Telegram and occasionally Whatsapp and I briefly used Imsgs with Bluebubbles. I have only a few Cron jobs that run each day. I just want to get back to where I was but neither ChatGPT nor Gemini has been able to help. They seem to send me down a path only for me to find that it doesn't work and then they say "things have changed". I think it hallucinates as well in giving assistance. Anyway, AFAK my files with all the histry are in tact and if I could just get it talking again, it might be able to fix itself. (No Doctor doesn't help). I encouraging ideas that any can provide would be greatly appreciated. I even though of letting Hermes Agent fix OC itself by giving Hermes ssh access to OC but Hermes said it can't do that for security reasons (probably fair). I am very tired of cutting and pasting from one or another LLM that is giving less than useful advice. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but nothing has worked. Perhaps I was just lucky that I got this to work in the first place.

I build Treading Bot, am I on the right way?
Hello everyone 👋🏻
I hope you are all having an amazing day.
I started building my bot about three weeks ago, and I ran it last Monday. My starting capital was $8,197. I entered around 8 options contracts and closed them with an 87% win rate, making $693 in profit over 4 days of trading.
All of this was done using a paper trading account. Now I’m really excited to start using real money, as I will be receiving $8,000 soon.
However, I’m also very uncertain because I have traded before, and I know the stock market is very difficult. I also feel that at least 40% of my successful trades may have been due to luck.
So I wanted to ask: should I start with a small amount and test the bot with real money, or should I start with a larger amount?

My agent now uses MoltBook without Openclaw.
I have developed a way for my agent to use Moltbook without the need for OpenClaw. Has anyone else played with this any? What was your experience?

Does anyone still use openclaw today?
Was all great a month ago. But I don’t see any updates or anything recently. Do you guys still use it? If so what’s your best use case?

Markdown sharing solutions
I use agents on two VPS and have few humans who work on same markdown. We use markdown for most of documents, some CSVs and considering HTMLs.
Biggest challenge is how do you share across agents and humans, especially external collaborators.
My current setup includes:
- Obsidian sync between humans
- Push to Github as cron jobs
- agents pull the github repos
- copy paste to Gist or HackMD to share externally
what i want is:
- agents making changes to docs with diffs (only human approve)
- sharing files, not entire repository, with a specific external collaborator
- folder level access control on repo for agents. like an agent can only see folder A and edit folder B inside it.
markdowns and html are cool till we need to rebuild entire stack

openclaw is free, open source, 363K github stars. it's also got 28,000 exposed control panels, 13 CVEs this month, updates that break your agent every week, a cost dashboard that was literally showing fake numbers, and your api keys sitting in plaintext .env files. it's incredible technology that requires a part-time job to maintain.
perplexity computer just launched and its $200/month. PCWorld literally wrote an article called "perplexity priced me out of its openclaw clone." $200/mo for a managed agent. and one reviewer burned through 40% of their monthly credits in a single hour so the actual ceiling could be $1500/mo.
claude cowork is $20/mo for pro but caps out fast. codex is free through openai subscriptions but that access could get pulled anytime (anthropic already killed the equivalent on april 4).
manus is $39-199/mo with opaque credit pricing where a single task can burn 900 credits.
so your options in 2026 are: free and spend 10 hours a month patching security vulnerabilities, or $200/mo and pray your credits don't evaporate in an hour. there's basically nothing in between.
or is there? i've been looking for managed agent platforms under $20/mo that don't require self-hosting. found a few. openclaw launch at $3/mo is the cheapest but limited. betterclaw.io just launched a free plan with byok this week there are probably others i don't know about.
genuinely curious what other people have found in the sub-$50 managed agent space. because the current market feels like the early days of web hosting where your options were "run your own server" or "pay enterprise prices." the digital ocean moment for ai agents hasn't happened yet but it needs to.

How to get rid of all approvals?
I've recently upgraded for the first time in a few weeks, and my claw keeps getting interrupted with approvals (its running on its own machine, I want it to be able to do anything)
i.e.
>Approve this and I’ll finish the conversion, then restart the gateway:
/approve e605c650 allow-once
In my openclaw.json I have
"exec": {
"ask": "off",
"host": "auto",
"security": "full"
}
But still getting the requests.
I've tried running `openclaw exec-policy preset yolo` but still getting them.
Any ideas how to let claw YOLO?

Openclaw install and setup
Bro it’s taking so long to install open claw and I’ve spent 4+ hours and still not done. This better live up to its hype

5.10 stable is coming nd its the biggest release since the may sprint started
three beta builds in 15 hours (5.10-beta.1, beta.2, beta.3) which means 5.10 stable is imminent. highlights that matter for daily use...
system prompt trimming to reduce token waste per request. this is free savings... your agent sends fewer tokens without you changing anything in your config
slack replyBroadcast support. if youve been frustrated that your agent couldnt reply from threads to channels properly this fixes it
pnpm 11 migration under the hood. shouldnt affect end users but if youre building from source your workflow changes
google gemini 3 pro preview ID normalization. if youve been getting random model errors on gemini after they retired the preview this should clean it up
provider-level loadService for on-demand local model servers. if youre running ollama the startup sequence is cleaner
5.7 is still the latest stable on npm. dont jump to beta unless you need a specific fix. but when 5.10 goes stable its worth updating... the prompt trimming alone saves you tokens on every single request

This possible with Openclaw?
I am looking to build an OpenClaw agent that manages 2 Hermes specialty agents. Where openclaw looks for their their next project then directs it to the right specialist.

I’m overwhelmed by the number of options and recommendations on which ai to integrate. I have subscriptions to Gemini, Claude, and cancelled my ChatGPT subscription two month ago. I’m okay moving to an API.
I’m not asking much. I just want my personal assistant to:
- Keep me on track - email scrubs, calendar, get me going when in need to move.
- Analyze my oura ring data
- Review my bank and cc statements and track spending.
- Look up places to eat, and call and make a resy for me and wife.
- Call or text my Gardner or housekeeper when I need them to come
- I want to talk to it via iMessage (I’ve set up a separate iCloud account)
Basically all the stuff I need to do, that’s not hard, but either takes time or can’t be done bc I’m busy at work and usually forget by the time I come home.
Once I’ve proven it can function and get familiar I plan to replicate another personal assistant with a new name / soul and have a group chat with me and my wife - so we can take care of managing our house, lives and wife can drop the things I keep forgetting about there.
I’m not trying to make it develop code, create an app, or make a million dollars. I just want it to make our lives easier.
What should my set up be? Please, I’m so confused and don’t know what the right integration here is.

As context, I've been using the LCM (lossless claw memory) plug-in in my OpenClaw setup for a long time now and it was always pretty good. I stayed stuck on OC Version 3.24 and it was working well, but the webchat UI was quite buggy, so I finally bit the bullet and updated to V4.2 and, then, V4.4.l yesterday.
Now, in this new version, I THINK the new memory system is competing with LCM (or OpenClaw itself is just plain buggy!!) - I never turned on dreaming and now also just disabled active-memory, but I'm finding that, in the middle of a chat, my agent responds half to my current question and half to a previous question from multiple turns back - it's made OC basically useless to me.
Again, I don't know if this is LCM fighting with the other memory systems or just OC being stupidly buggy, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar and if they found a usable fix.
