It was the software updates that prevented OpenClaw working for me. OpenClaw broke every update for a month, so I gave up and moved to Hermes.
Right now Grok Bot looks a lot easier to get started and maintain with a simpler UI (arguably better), but OpenClaw and Hermes give you more configurability and choice.
Grok Bot is really built on a different paradigm to OpenClaw/Hermes so hard to say it succeeds where those two fail, because fundamentally, one offers the convenience of SaaS, while the others offer the freedom and ownership of open source.
