OpenClaw has been around for a bit now, but recently it feels like there’s an explosion of “Claw-style” agents everywhere (seeing similar efforts from NVIDIA, ByteDance, Alibaba, etc.). Not talking about specific products - the pattern: long-running agents, tool use, memory, some level of autonomy, often wrapped as a kind of “agent runtime” rather than just a chatbot. I haven’t actually tried building or running one yet, so I’m curious about the practical side.
