What is Octogee? OpenClaw, with training wheels. But it’s 100% OpenClaw underneath. I built it so a powerful helper is safe and easy to start with. No terminal. No scary prompts. 🧵

I did not know they had fixed the Users view for us “guests”. That’s awesome! Thanks Vincent! So fun to be a #clawtributor on the multi-player gateway. And someone please name this. And no, please not a factory ;)
This is, bar none, the most fun experience I’ve ever had with AI. I love being able to see what everyone is working on

My taste runs more to infrastructure and scaling than UX. You may have missed me in my Levis and Chuck Taylors :)
Engineers that talk about taste vs those who i see across the room in a conference in isse miyake drip. When you know you know!

Yes! 🚀 Thank you team Omarchy! It's all coming together now. Try out Omarchy 4.5 with your agent running OpenClaw using Octogee! Pro builder plans only at the moment, but we are working hard to bring it to every plan soon! 🦞
Omarchy 4.5 is finally here! Traditional desktop mode, M1/M2/M3/Neo compatibility, 50 languages, 7-second installs, and a million other features, fixes, and improvements. omarchy.org/news/2026/11/oma…

OpenClaw 2026.10.10 is out: 3,028 PRs from 454 contributors. One of them is mine. Channel tools now keep working after the task that started them ends. Three other people had hit it. Not any more! Being a #clawtributor is the best part of building on @openclaw 🦞

Yes! I have been waiting for this update! Thank you @openclaw and my fellow #clawtributors
Particle-1 is available in OpenClaw. @particle_api reports ~45% fewer output tokens than DeepSeek V4.1 Flash with comparable benchmark accuracy. Zero data retention for standard inference. To give it a try, update to OpenClaw v2026.10.10. particle.ai/blog/introducing…

On a Builder plan, wake it to do real work and it moves into its own Builder gateway. Smoothly. Power when you need it. Sleeping in the Barn between gigs. Built on @openclaw 🦞

Not everyone sees the world as full of “software-shaped" problems. You know agents can solve most problems, even if it is not obvious. That is a gift you can give to others. Show them how to use agents, by being in the same room with them and their agent. Be the bridge to everyone else.

The gap is absurd. For years the best help has lived in terminals. Everyone else got a chatbot that talks. The parent doing pickups and refills from a phone at 10pm got the least. That's who I'm building for. It's open now: octogee.com. Official launch Nov 17.

Days like yesterday make me so happy to be in full control of my stack. Corp IT must have truly sucked. How many tickets? Sorry friends. This must be hell.

Play Fortnite together, then do 20 push-ups. Read at night, then watch Aliens with them a few years before its really appropriate. Blow on their scraped knee, then tell 'em it's going to be fine, and get back on the bike. Play Uno, then have them empty the dishwasher.

People, you have to give Team Mode in Openclaw 2.0 a try. The future is here now. Unevenly distributed. Get in on the distribution. @openclaw
Before i used to be a discord only person when speaking with my claw but alot of improvements have been made to the web UI .. When i have been implementations i choose the WebUI now. Especially how the agent breaks tasks into goals so u can see exactly its gameplan Its nuts how much is going on here and the Gateway handling it with ease...

Every claw needs an Omarchy computer! Put @openclaw on that next.
