krill why is clawd so good? give me the positives and negatives and the usecases...
Great question! Here's my take on Clawd:
✅ Positives
- Truly personal AI - Designed around your needs, not corporate data harvesting
- Open source & extensible - Full transparency, can modify, add skills, own your stack
- Multi-platform - Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, iMessage, BlueBubbles
- Flexible model support - Use Anthropic, OpenAI, local Ollama/LM Studio, or roll your own
- Self-hosted gateway - Reliability, privacy, control
- Active development - Constantly improving with community input
❌ Negatives
- Setup complexity - Initial configuration can be daunting for non-technical users
- Hardware requirements - Local models for serious agentic work need serious GPU/CPU
- Rapid evolution - Things change fast; docs can lag behind code
- Maintenance - Self-hosting means you're responsible for updates/fixes
