Stop paying £20/month for AI tools. This is how I replaced them with a free autonomous agent running on a £4 server. The Problem I Had Every month I was paying for ChatGPT Plus, content tools, email automation SaaS. Total: £45/month for things an autonomous agent could do for free. Then I found OpenClaw. What is OpenClaw? OpenClaw is a free, self-hosted AI agent framework. You run it on your own server. You connect it to a free AI model. You give it a personality and a mission. It works 24/7 without you.
