Why did OpenClaw take off? “I found it relatively easy to set up and get going… I didn’t have to spend seven hours just to do the Telegram use case and start playing with it.” "I just think it's sort of that, like just that level of accessibility to users who are maybe not living in a codebase day-to-day." "The other agent frameworks were pretty difficult to use, incredibly flaky, [I] didn't really want to spend a lot of time debugging someone else's stuff." "There's another major part of this that it can extend itself." "It's the first agent I've seen where I can say, 'I want integration with something.' And it's like: 'well, I've never seen this before, there's no package for that, but let me try to put something together.'" "There is definitely a long-running nature of it. You leave it running for a night and you're like, keep working on this until you finish." @stuffyokodraws @appenz on the AI + a16z Podcast(a16z)
