Self-hosted personal agents: OpenClaw vs Claude Duet
The author argues Claude Duet is great, but self-hosted OpenClaw is now good enough, letting you mix models and avoid vendor lock-in.

It's so easy to get shiny object syndrome with this stuff and I'm sure Claude Duet is great. But if you prefer a custom setup, @openclaw is actually really good now and you don't need to get locked into a vendor. I host my bots on a VPS, communicate as apps through Slack, and you can use a mix of models in your bot team to get different perspectives. Plus, it's not as hard to set up anymore - have an agent do it for you!
