It's time to cool down on Openclaw.

If you haven't learned Openclaw yet, don't rush.
Because in at most 2 months, you'll realize— there's no need to learn it. Let me tell you some honest truths that might offend people.
If you've heard enough of those stories in the market, like "5 lobster employees helped me earn 100,000," then listen to me— cool down.
1. This thing consumes a lot of computing power.
To put it simply, moderate use costs about 500-1500 RMB per month, definitely necessary.
Most people won't want to spend that much.
2. The barrier is still too high.
Native OpenClaw requires self-deployment.
In China, there are cloud deployments by Kimi and local deployments by Zhipu, but for ordinary people, the barrier is still too high.
Take local deployment, for example—you need to buy a Mac mini. This device used to cost over 3,000 RMB, but recently it’s been driven up to four or five thousand.
3. The most critical issue: what do you plan to do with Openclaw?
These investments are not small or large depending on perspective.
Looking at people around me, who actually find it effective?
Entrepreneurs with business operations, side hustlers making steady income,
Programmers, product managers, operations, and other internet industry workers,
Families with good conditions, parents cultivating AI interest in their children— surprisingly, this group is quite large.
Honestly, if you don’t have a clear business or aren’t wealthy and free, there's no need to chase this hype.
AI is developing too fast; the deployment skills you learn now will be outdated in half a year.
Think carefully— when OpenClaw becomes popular, every promoter has a commercial interest! Kimi, Zhipu, MiniMax—they promote to earn your computing power fees.
Bosses urge employees to learn it to reduce labor costs.
Even media outlets like us talk about it daily to get traffic.
What about you? Have you thought about your own benefits? Of course, OpenClaw is definitely a good thing.
Even if you have no monetization plans, just wanting to learn is fine.
Just a reminder: 【In the AI era, the more you understand business, the greater AI’s power】.
Only those who understand business can monetize.
Only by monetizing can you afford the computing power fees.
And only then can you access more powerful AI tools to serve you.
By the way, during these two weeks of OpenClaw’s popularity, we have a client who quietly became a top amateur seller.

During Women’s Day, she, an ordinary person, after work, was selling skincare and beauty products, with daily sales exceeding 30,000 RMB.
She used free tools like Doubao and Kimi... So don’t be anxious.
Or rather, your anxiety isn’t about AI itself, but about not yet finding a business where AI can help you.
