How is this different than, say, OpenClaw, which I've heard people say does the same kind of things? Is it that they each have their own VM?
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.
