I mean, this is...

very, very viral project on GitHub.

And you have to remember that mostly this is developers.

I mean, this isn't average people that are using this mostly because people have to go get this on GitHub and run the code and they set up their own computer and run it.

And I mean, there's a lot of tutorials so other people could do it, but mostly this was developers using it.

And so if it's just that kind of narrow user base, 190,000 GitHub stars is incredible.

And the use cases that people like the, I guess like the big sales pitch that really got a lot of people signing up for this is basically that it's going to be an AI agent and it could connect to services that you actually use.

So it connects to your WhatsApp, your Slack, your iMessage, your calendar, your email and whatever else you do.

And it can, you can talk to them all in natural language.

So you can

send it off to do tasks and complete things.

And it's just going and, you know, taking over your control of your computer and getting everything done.

I think really importantly, OpenClaw is model agnostic.

So I think they learned very early with Claude kind of sending them a cease and desist.

They didn't want to get tied down to that.

So you can plug ChatGPT in, you can plug Gemini in, you can plug Grok in or anything else and have that basically running this tool.

The tool is just what enables one of those AI models to take control of your computer and get stuff done.

I think...

One security researcher talking about all of this said, at the end of the day, OpenClaw is still just a wrapper to ChatGPT or Clot or whatever AI model you stick to it.

I think there's a lot of people that are trying to downplay, like, man, this thing's so dumb.
