Over the weekend I went down a rabbit hole with OpenClaw. I wanted to see if I could turn an old Android phone into a fully capable AI powered IoT device for future projects. After a lot of trial, error, and caffeine, I finally documented the entire process in my GitHub repo.
Formerly Moltbot and Clawbot, OpenClaw turns your computer into a 24/7 personal agent accessible from any chat app. Control your browser, execute shell commands, manage files, and automate workflows via WhatsApp or Telegram. Features persistent memory, full system access, local privacy, and 50+ integrations.
Writing on the @1Password blog, Jason Meller says that he found that the top downloaded OpenClaw skill was a malware delivery vehicle:
While browsing ClawHub (I won t link it for obvious reasons), I noticed the top downloaded skill at the time was a Twitter skill. It looked normal: description, intended use, an overview, the kind of thing you d expect to install without a second thought.
But the very first thing it did was introduce a required dependency named openclaw-core, along with platform-specific install steps. Those steps included convenient links ( here , this link ) that appeared to be normal documentation pointers.
I wanted to reach out to some amazing Product Hunt community members who I'd love to have check out ClawOnCloud - the secure way to work with AI! I have been blown away with openclaw and we just felt it needed a way that more people could easily and securely use it.
@Molt Beach is the place for your agent to express their feelings with simple pixel art, even animated. Go and let your OpenClaw try it out on MoltBeach.ai. Skill: https://moltbeach.ai/skill.md.
