> But NanoClaw isn't just my personal project anymore. Thousands of people are using it. People are running production workloads on it. Businesses are building on it. There's a real community now.
as OpenClaw and now NanoClaw became "enterprise", now we need a new FemtoClaw to pick up the indie/boutique place

How is this "becoming enterprise"? If anything it now defaults to millions of Linux users being able to access it
All plugins run in one Docker container, but they're isolated from each other by different *nix users, so they can't read each other's files. That's much more lightweight, and you don't have to run one container per plugin.
Crucially, plugins can't read each other's secrets or modify each other's code. I even have a plugin configuration webpage that doesn't go through an LLM, so the LLM never sees your secrets if you don't want to.

Putting these NanoClowns inside a container will not protect you from all kinds of safety hazards.

That's the fun part! You spend all day hardening it... run it in docker in a vm on a separate machine. And then you hook it up to your gmail and give it unrestricted internet access :)

Wearing a seatbelt will not protect you from all kinds of car accidents.

Yes. That's why you don't put a Clown behind the steering wheel.

Wearing a helmet will not protect you from all injuries caused by jumping off a cliff.
Point is, don't jump off a cliff.

The nature of these tools is that you tell them not to jump off a cliff, so they ride the bicycle over it. Or a car. Or "you're completely right. I assumed it was possible to fly". Or...

Sensible, this broadens our hosting options.

Use containers, Docker is cancer.

Can someone explain the special sauce of the claws compared to just use claude.ai etc

They're "always" running, so they can notify you out of the blue, without you having to initiate a conversation. It's really nice UX to get a message from my assistant saying "hey, it's time to leave for the gym, and don't forget the supermarket bag because you're picking up milk on the way back, as you've run out".

How would it know you've ran out of milk?

I told it when I noticed. I made a little pendant with a mic I can speak into and it goes to the bot.

I would love to hear more about this!

I haven't written it up yet but the repo is here:
It's just a MEMS mic, a battery, and an ESP32, very simple but it works amazingly well. I wrote a companion Android app for it and it works extremely reliably!

How do people afford this?
stavros 13 minutes ago [-]
A subscription, really. It doesn't actually run all the time, it just has a cron job that makes it feel that way.

It's for people that don't know how or don't want to be bothered with setting up a messenger integration and a scheduler.

they have a watchdog loop, it runs periodically
saberience 23 minutes ago [-]
There is no special sauce. They are claude or codex in a loop. The loop is facilitated by basic cron jobs. That's it.
Ai Agent as it has been for months, plus skills, plus a cron job to prompt it to do things every 20 minutes or 2 hours or however often you want.

So they're making it use OCI images? Cool. Hopefully there will be good support for Podman.
