Transcript

I used OpenClaw for weeks before I switch over to NanoClaw. Here's five reasons why I made the switch. One, the setup. OpenClaw took me countless nights to get up and running and NanoClaw literally took me a few hours in front of the TV. Two, debugging. OpenClaw always had something wrong with it. You fix one problem another one comes up and if the OpenClaw gateway wasn't already running I would have to ask chatGPT and copy and paste commands like it's two months ago. With NanoClaw you just open up the folder with Claude and it sets everything up for you even before NanoClaw itself is running. Three, security. NanoClaw uses a pretty interesting vault authentication layer called OneCLI and I actually feel comfortable letting my team members talk to my agents. Four, complexity. OpenClaw has hundreds of contributors and so when you look at the settings panel you see it's just like endless scroll because it's all these features that other people wanted to see in there that are not necessarily tailored to you. With NanoClaw you start off by forking a bare bones version of it and any new features you want you ask Claude to code it for you. And OpenClaw is thousands of files vibe coded by Codex whereas NanoClaw is only 15 files. Five, the biggest one. Yes, you can use your Claude Pro or Max subscription with NanoClaw because they use the Agent SDK which is not part of the Anthropic ban. I think OpenClaw is an amazing project that has really defined a course for autonomous AI agents. It's just right now I prefer NanoClaw. Follow for part 2 where I show you exactly how I use NanoClaw in my startup.
