OpenClaw for Your Dad (picnicos.com)
basiclaser 6 days ago [-]
Hi there!

We've built a human-friendly getting-stuff-done-oriented version of OpenClaw. It's called picnic. It's free for anybody with an existing subscription to ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.

Its unique aspect is that we completely avoid any mention of API keys, terminals, having to put together telegram bots just to talk to it... all that stuff is gone.

It's currently in beta and we're working on adding a huge library of plug-and-play OpenSource business workflows. We'd love your feedback!

Do you think this is a product category that will exist in future? Or is it the wrong abstraction?

Do you know people that would love to use Openclaw but are blocked by the tech knowledge requirements?

I just reviewed this, this is openclaw for the rest of us. Great work.

Thanks Markamo!

Please let me know if I can help you in any way or if you have any ideas.

It's still changing a lot in the current state; we're pushing about two new version updates a day, with some really helpful big features coming this week.

Will this work with an openrouter key?

yes Open Router is an option in the onboarding process and in the settings. try it out, and let me know how it goes :D

OpenClaw config needs cleanup Picnic stopped before restart because C:\Users\User\.picnic\openclaw.json contains keys OpenClaw does not accept.

Unsupported keys error: too many arguments for 'config'. Expected 0 arguments but got 1. What is safe to edit Only documented OpenClaw schema fields should live in openclaw.json. Picnic metadata or experiments should go in separate files. Recommended fix Remove unsupported keys, then retry. If you need Picnic-specific metadata, store it outside openclaw.json.

Thanks, dude. Yeah, I'm aware of the bug. We're fixing it right now. The next update should be in about six to eight hours

I'm not having to go at you specifically, but take a guess at how many openclaw / agentic system installations I've done recently which have worked perfectly out of the box. Yep. 0%. Interesting, isn't it?

xD no i get it im with you. We started Picnic out of frustration with the others haha
