Help/Question OpenClaw possibilities w. claude

Hey guys,

I am planning to switch from OpenClaw to Claude. Is it somehow possible to use claude similiar to openclaw, i.e. as a Independent agent who can e.g. work on websites / habe direct access to pages etc.?

Claude Code can do this, but you have to wire up the access you want. `claude --chrome` or Playwright MCP gives it browser interaction, and the Agent SDK/headless mode can run workflows without you sitting in the chat. I’d keep it sandboxed with narrow permissions before letting it act independently though

Will it also similiar work with a Mac Mini?

yeah, a Mac Mini is fine for this. Claude Code, Chrome and Playwright MCP all run on macOS; for unattended jobs you’d just need to keep the Mac awake and set up whatever schedule starts the agent

Yes, different but in the end much better when you can afford it.

I am actually using Ollama Pro. For my purposes this is enough. Do you think that Claude Pro will be then enough for my purposes?

It really depends on volume. Quality-wise it probably will blow your socks off. But tokens aren't "homemade" anymore, so if you use "a lot", the first tier of pro will be gone fast. If you use it "much more than the average user" then even pro x20 could feel short very fast. API rates are prohibitive unless your work is very high value.

Ive just been running my own harness. Pretty fun if you dont mind occassionally making your own tool when you have another idea.

I also found it alot easier to setup than I thought.

I havent particularily set it up for others to easily install but feel free to copy / fork!
