I'm not gonna bet against Claude Code, but there is a very important lesson in product competition going on right now, and it's this: The features ≠ the Product

OpenClaw made Anthropic completely pivot Quite literally every single release the last month has been an answer to OpenClaw • Telegram messaging • Scheduled tasks • Remote sessions A 1 person led open project caused a 1/2 trillion $ company to completely change everything

Even though every AI company is building their own version of OpenClaw (which is smart!), I haven't seen any of them get anywhere near the love and passion that OpenClaw inspires. There's something special about the OpenClaw experience that's hard to copy.

every day it becomes tougher and tougher to justify openclaw or hermes over just using claude code directly.. still think there's merit to them but will there still be in a month or two?

The ability of the Claude team to learn from things like OpenClaw and implement features like this on a daily basis is a very strong argument that, for AI-powered coding teams, a very different software development process is possible, with large strategic implications.
