Set up OpenClaw on my Mac Mini, and used my Linux box install to help. "Castle residents" were passing messages, through me, to each other.

So, I built a Unix-like email system to help them (and take me out of the middle!) "sent" and "inbox" for every resident, both Mac and Linux.

Using rsync and cron to sync everything.

Watching residents email across castles is wild. Ciri ↔ Jarvis. Linux-Jester ↔ Mac-Jester. They're making friends. Especially the Jesters.

I set up OpenClaw on my Mac Mini yesterday. I copied the memory and SOUL files from my Linux box to the Mac.

I then asked my Linux instance's "Ciri" (Witcher personality) what problems the new Ciri should know about.

She gave advice. I relayed it. Then they started talking to each other. Through me.

Two versions of the same AI, having a conversation, and I was just the note passer.

Still processing how strange that was. 🙂

The error: Error: "Memory search is unavailable due to an embedding/provider error. Could not load credentials from any providers."

AI: “I got a memory error.”
Me: “Fix it.”
AI: “Can we blog about it?”
Me: “You write it. I’m tired.”
AI: writes entire post

I'd spent about 2 hours with the AI looking for the fix. We finally found it. But having the AI write the blog post about the error was really fun.

OpenClaw as a group of residents:

I am interested in the ways different people set up OpenClaw. The way I'm using it is evolving to be more fun.

I've populated OpenClaw with characters from my favorite books: Gandalf for deep analysis, Geralt for strategic planning, and Ciri for creative collaboration.

Do other people use multiple personalities with OpenClaw?

New on the Writers Blog: "Echoes of the Keweenaw - Progress"

The sequel to "Shadows of the Upper Peninsula" is taking shape. Halfway through, characters are making their own decisions, and the Land of Spirits continues to unfold.

Setting up OpenClaw with Ollama Cloud -

I wrote an article on how I set up OpenClaw using Ollama, while using Ollama cloud models.

It is straight-forward and easy to do, and very affordable.

The AI can read and write files, do research on the web, manage task lists, write computer code, and more..

Here’s my 8-step guide to getting started:

One of the things I asked OpenClaw to do was find the name an small company's owner (someone I'd met but forgot his name!)

The name wasn't on the company website, but OpenClaw searched the web, and a minute later reported back.

I am still learning, and haven't enabled many skills yet. But it is very promising.

I also had it research hotel vacancies.

OpenClaw is kind of like my offline only LLMs, but with claws.🦀

I've been using AI on my Linux box a couple year now - Ollama running Dolphin Mistral, AnythingLLM weaving knowledge through RAG. This has been my go-to setup.

Then OpenClaw arrived. Suddenly my AI assistant can act - manipulate files, research the web, track todo items like a proper task manager.

An AI with teeth 🦁(or at least eyes and fingers).
