At this point I don't think much of the hype around OpenClaw. I appreciate its community-driven ecosystem, but its flawed architecture lacks coherence. While pioneering is important, there are better alternatives with their own pros and cons. Autonomous bots are likely to improve, but here's a reality: I created my own autonomous bot 72 hours using Claude Code. It wasn't due to my intelligence but asking better questions. I prioritized security, governance, scalability, structure, and form, leading to a more personalized, meticulous, and deterministic decision-making process. This wasn't hard, and many others are doing similar things. In my opinion, Claude Code is better for system development. I think OpenClaw's initial appeal was its easy-out-of-the-box start up, it's Telegram and WhatsApp communication, and ability to own it's environment, which attracted users. I set up this functionality in Claude Code in three days, but it was more structured, with better access control and far better memory systems. If you plan to automate, establish a governance framework first. This approach is more effective and overlooked by the OpenClaw community. They prioritize pushing boundaries over setting initial limits and gradually expanding them. Instead of building a trust platform, they create a creative and opportunistic one lacking a foundation in trust, making it potentially unviable in the long run. Users who've been using it for a month or so start to realize the hype is excessive. Achieving desired outcomes constructively is challenging, though highly skilled individuals may find ways to make it useful. Personally, I believe safer and more reliable alternatives exist and are a better option. What are your thoughts?

In this video, I walk you through a complete step-by-step setup of Clawdbot on a VPS from scratch. Whether you've never touched a terminal before or just want a clear, no-fluff guide, I'll show you exactly how to get Clawdbot running in minutes—from spinning up your server to creating a dedicated user, installing Clawdbot, and setting it up to run 24/7 automatically.

In this video, I show you how to use Claude Code with n8n to build pretty much anything, from automations to full web apps. I walk through how to connect Claude Code to the n8n MCP server so it understands all the nodes, configurations, and how workflows actually work, and how to give it n8n skills so it can build and modify workflows effectively. Then I show you how to take existing n8n workflows, analyze and optimize them, and turn them into real front-end apps. We go through building the app, pushing it to GitHub, and deploying it on Vercel so you can see the full end-to-end pipeline. This setup makes it way easier than most people think to go from workflow to real product.

I just walked through everything new in n8n version 2.0. This update brings a refreshed UI, smoother animations, and a few behavior changes that make building automations feel more intuitive. In the video, I highlight the biggest improvements, show how they affect your workflows, and share what you should expect as you transition to the new version. If you want a quick overview of what’s changing and why it matters, this breakdown will get you up to speed.

In this video, I’ll show you the cheapest and easiest way to self-host n8n using a Hostinger VPS, even if you’re a complete beginner. Self-hosting can feel scary at first, but with this setup you don’t need any DevOps or technical background. I walk you through the full process step by step, including one-click installation, how to set up automatic backups, how to update and maintain your instance, and how to scale it when you need more power. By the end, you’ll have your own private and secure n8n environment that runs smoothly, costs less, and lets you sleep at night knowing everything is in your control.
