New comment by manveerc in "Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?"

manveerc — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 23:58:38 +0000

Well i built an equivalent of OpenClaw using Claude Code and hooking it up with WhatsApp. For mew I'm currently using it for following things

1. Morning brief + meeting preps 2. Managing client work and action items (tracking status, deliverables, etc) 3. Executing our AI workflows on my laptop. We have built several AI workflows for our agency and this setup gives the ability to seamlessly execute and control them through both mobile and desktop

Next on my to-do list is to build additional workfows for me and my wife around family logistics (travel, childcare, etc)

Are you asking if Agents should use API?

In my opinion sites that want agent access should expose server-side MCP, server owns the tools, no browser middleman. Already works today.

Sites that don’t want it will keep blocking. WebMCP doesn’t change that.

Your point about selenium is absolutely right. WebMCP is an unnecessary standard. Same developer effort as server-side MCP but routed through the browser, creating a copy that drifts from the actual UI. For the long tail that won’t build any agent interface, the browser should just get smarter at reading what’s already there.

New comment by manveerc in "Meta is wrong to try to sneak into facial recognition with Ray-Ban glasses"

Oh yeah I agree it’s bad. I just meant, company has no morals. It is very data hungry and doesn’t care about people’s privacy.

And with respect to past tense, I don’t know if they still do when they were caught red handed about some of these things. Unless there is a court order I am sure they still do, but I have no proof point.

Not something new. They were recording audio on Facebook app and messenger for the longest time without a people using the microphone. They were tracking people using network data. The list is pretty long.
