No problem/con here, but I think the main reason for openclaw became famous is that it was a harness you could connect via messaging apps (esp telegram).

That way you could have an assistant with your full computer context available on the go.

Additionally, it’s super battery-included, pretty much the opposite of pi

Pi agent supports messaging apps now.

I'm actually building my own version of Open Claw, custom tailored to me using the Pi agent SDK and Discord.

Is this something native by pi, or from 3rd party devs?

Hermes supports this too, just do `/handoff telegram` and your current session is moved to telegram, it pings you on your phone, etc. It's pretty nice, though I do still prefer the Codex dedicated app for remote control

Thats cool, did not know that, thanks!

What about pi?

To me it’s kind of the dumbest thing about it. “Talk to claude from anywhere” - huh, like I already do? Why can’t I have an extra app? How do I manage my sessions?

I (as somebody also DIYing) consider the defining feature of a “claw” to be task scheduling/some form of autonomous action.
