Everyone’s excited about Clawdbot.

And honestly, I get why.

But here’s the part people skip talking about.

Clawdbot isn’t plug-and-play magic.

Because it runs on your own machine and can touch real files, emails, calendars, and commands, the risk surface is real.

A few honest downsides I see:

• Setup is not beginner friendly. You need solid technical chops.

• Security is on you. One misconfigured permission can expose sensitive data.

• Maintenance never stops. Updates, models, skills, infra… it’s a commitment.

• Great for builders. Overkill for teams that just want results fast.

Self-hosted AI assistants sound powerful.

They are.

But power without guardrails can get messy quickly.

I’m curious, though:

Would you rather

A) full control + responsibility

B) less control but peace of mind?

How are you thinking about this tradeoff?
