I Deployed OpenClaw - Should You?
OpenClaw setup isn’t as simple as social media makes it sound—this video breaks down the real complexity, costs, and security risks behind the hype. If you’ve heard creators say “just download it and you have a digital employee,” this video will save you hours (or even days) of frustration.
In this deep dive, I explain what OpenClaw actually is—an agent orchestration system—not a plug-and-play automation tool. You’ll learn why beginners struggle, why technical users still run into endless debugging, and why “open source” absolutely does not mean free. We break down models, API tools, infrastructure costs, and how runaway context can burn money fast.
I also cover the Mac Mini myth, comparing self-hosting vs. cloud hosting, and the realistic operational burden both options create. Then we move into the security nightmare creators love to ignore: permissions, leaked keys, prompt injection, unsafe endpoints, and why least-privilege architecture is mandatory for real-world use.
Finally, I share insight from a veteran developer’s critique, highlighting weak sequencing, orchestration challenges, and why simpler tools (Make, n8n, Zapier, browser automations, or a single well-scoped assistant) often outperform OpenClaw for practical business tasks.
If you're evaluating whether OpenClaw is truly right for you, this video gives you the honest framework you need.
