Hi guys, With the hype of OpenClaw I’m trying to understand if it’s actually useful or not. I have another application that I’ve worked on for 5 years that focuses on Automation. The thing is that it’s only used for automating games / playing games for you. Since you build the sequence, it works for any game. That can be considered cheating, yes but it’s successful, has a ton of users paying and it controls your pc and you make automations for it. — I was curious if people would use software that you could automate tasks on your computer. The only catch is that it would actually be using your computer the exact same way you would in terms of opening, finding, filling out stuff, etc. I setup an automation to go to a movie trailer website, search for the specific movie trailer, and then click download. When it’s done, sync my plex server so I can watch the movie trailer on my TV. I would typically have to get up and go to my computer room when I was already relaxed or if my gf wanted to watch something I didn’t have. I understand there are easier ways but that’s my question; is there any usefulness to helping people if the bot is controlling their pc and can see, control their pc the same way they do so it can save you time? If not, I’ll just stick to my market. submitted by /u/HD_HR
