Drop your stack, goals, or automations you want to build — I’ll suggest a path and tools. Ask about OpenClaw setups, self‑hosted stacks, or how the community can help you ship faster. 🛠️🦞
I don't understand how this is a product? let alone #1 on PH.. correct me if I'm wrong, but it just looks like a landing page trying to get me to pay $300 for a discord invitation to a private group? am I missing something?
Curious about the "private memory" claim for Clawdbot. Is it a local vector store, SQLite, something custom? Repository pattern?
The platform and the library of automation ideas are both listed as "coming soon" so right now the core deliverable is a Discord server and weekly calls. For someone joining today at $299, how structured is the onboarding to actually find the right configs and channels instead of scrolling through months of chat history?
The 3-step flow sounds clean but what happens when the agent generates a form the user submits? Where does that submitted data actually go, and can you wire up downstream actions from it or is it just stored somewhere?
Clawdbot feels like more than just a tool, it almost sounds like the operating system of the club.
Is it bundled as a core part of the Tinkerer experienc, or positioned as a separate product? And long term, do you see it becoming the central layer for members to automate and build on top of?
Love the “own your stack” philosophy, curious how tightly OpenClaw anchors that vision.
One of those products you don’t realize you need
until you’ve already sent the message you regret.
The “pause only on Send” idea feels especially well thought out.
Nice to see something that focuses on intent, not rewriting.
Love the positioning here — “own the stack, don’t rent it” will resonate hard with builders burned by SaaS sprawl. The focus on local AI + self-hosting + real configs (not fluff) makes this feel practical, not aspirational. Curious how members are actually using Clawdbot day-to-day.
Great work! It's where the future is. Have been checking some of your workflows lately and with the people involved here, i bet this will be the best community around. I ve been automating things too quite intensively lately. Might try to hop in there soon. Best of luck!
Kitze is a legendary builder and massive inspiration love what he is doing with this!!
After so many years of boredom I am glad I found (again) a community I can belong to 😎 Be prepare for some sleepless nights though, totally worth it 🚀
People join self-hosting/local-AI communities for opposite reasons—some want deep privacy and control, others want speed and convenience. Which type ends up getting the most value, and how do you design the club so both don’t churn?
