I am building out MycroftOS which is the my UI for Gobot, similar to OpenClaw.  I wanted to not only chat through Telegram but also chat via voice, so I gave all the agents their own personalities and voices.  All have their own specific skills and awareness of our system.    

I am nerding out on this way too much.

Should you build with OpenClaw?  Maybe.  To me there are way too many security issues.  I have been building my bot with Gobot, created by Goda Go, and it has been pretty incredible so far.  I haven't built anything that is revolutionary yet.  I am building the framework and getting my team of agents the way I want them.  

Goda has created a great comparison of GoBot and OpenClaw on her blog.  Here are the top takeaways: 

1. **Security**: OpenClaw has over 512 vulnerabilities and 341 malicious add-ons; GoBot operates securely via Telegram's encrypted API with no known vulnerabilities.

2. **Cost Structure**: OpenClaw's costs are unpredictable (ranging from $150 to $5,000/month); GoBot offers three deployment modes with managed, variable costs.

3. **Complexity**: OpenClaw’s complex code (201,000 lines) supports multiple platforms; GoBot has a streamlined architecture (11,200 lines) focused on Telegram.

4. **AI Agents**: OpenClaw is a single customizable assistant; GoBot features six specialized AI agents for different tasks, enhancing functionality.

5. **24/7 Availability**: GoBot offers hybrid mode for continuous operation without extra costs; OpenClaw requires a VPS for constant availability.

The GoBot community is top-notch with some really smart people who want to help others succeed. Come join us!  Link to the community is in the comments.
