Why is there a lack of useful use cases for OpenClaw?

Risk, imo. I am running it, and constantly identify use cases but they each carry some kind of risk I can’t get past. And so for now I am using individual purpose-built Claude Code harnesses, which has much more cognitive overhead and isn’t wired into discord, but I can really control access.

They are centered around managing information in/out, or “hey siri have groceries delivered“.

The issue is the amount of security and privacy risks you're undertaking by using it and its third-party developed skills. The more access you give, the more powerful and useful it gets.

There's a lot of useful use cases for OpenClaw but I wish I had the guts.
