Hi PH team,
We have launched BetterClaw today,
Most "free" AI tools mean free for 14 days, or free until you hit a wall you can't see coming.
Ours works differently because of one architectural choice: you bring your own model key. Your prompts go straight from you to your LLM provider. We never touch your inference bill because we're not in that path at all.
Pair it with a free model tier (Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter) and your total cost is genuinely $0. Not $0 plus a server you have to maintain. Zero.

Not needing Docker or a VPS removes a pretty big barrier for people who just want an agent running. Congrats!
BetterClaw
@henry_habib Exactly! That was a big part of the goal-making it easy to get started without having to deal with infrastructure first. Appreciate you giving it a try! 🙌
BetterClaw
@henry_habib Thanks Henry! That barrier was the whole reason we built this. I watched so many people in the OpenClaw community get genuinely excited about agents, then lose a weekend to Docker networking and never come back. The AI part was never what stopped them.
The Intern that asks before acting is the part I would build the whole product around, and it is also the part that quietly decays. We run approval-gated sending on our side, and the failure mode is never the agent doing something reckless. It is the human. Reviewing every action works until the volume goes up, then you start skimming, and the ones that get through are never the obvious ones.
So the thing I would watch is what keeps an approval meaningful on day ninety. An agent that asks rarely, and only where it is genuinely unsure, is worth more than one that asks every time and trains you to click yes.

@jernej_jan_kocica This is one of the sharpest critiques of the model we've gotten, because it's true and it's not something a permission gate on its own fixes.
"Trains you to click yes" is exactly the failure mode we worry about too. Right now our answer is incomplete: Intern asks on everything by default, which is safe on day one and genuinely annoying by day ninety if the agent hasn't earned the right to ask less. We haven't built the part where it learns to only interrupt you when it's actually unsure, rather than on a fixed rule.
What we do have is the activity log as a check against rubber-stamping. If you're approving without reading, at least there's a record to catch it after the fact, which isn't the same as preventing it.
The honest version of what we should build next, based on what you're describing: confidence-based asking rather than category-based asking. Ask often early, ask rarely once it's shown it gets the boring 95% right, and always ask on the specific category you've marked as high stakes regardless of streak. That's meaningfully harder to build than "ask before every action" and probably why most of the industry hasn't done it either.
Appreciate you naming the actual failure mode instead of the reassuring one.

Finally, a no-code AI agent platform that respects both my time and my wallet. The scheduled workflows (Gmail triage + Slack briefings) are exactly what I needed, and the fact that I can bring my own API key instead of paying per execution is refreshing. The UI is clean, setup was under a minute, and the "ask before acting" safety net is brilliant. Instant upvote — well done team!
BetterClaw
@shahe_alam Thank you so much! 🙌 We built it around exactly these principles-saving time, keeping costs predictable, and making sure agents stay under your control. So glad the scheduled workflows and “ask before acting” resonated with you. 🚀
Just saw this now and signed up to try, but all free agents are sold out. Will more be added? I'd like to test drive before paying.
BetterClaw
BetterClaw looks like a really exciting way to make AI agents actually useful in the background-especially the scheduled workflows and no-code setup. Love the “60 seconds & $0 forever” positioning.
BetterClaw
@varsha_saini2 Totally agree — the "set it and forget it" approach is exactly what AI agents needed. The no-code builder + scheduled workflows feel like a cheat code for productivity. Excited to connect my inbox and see the morning briefings in action. Great work building this! 🚀
BetterClaw
BetterClaw is taking a practical approach to agentic AI — instead of just generating responses, the agents can actually run workflows on a schedule and handle repetitive tasks in the background.Love the “60 seconds & $0 forever” positioning.
BetterClaw
@aniket_bhatnagar Thank you! 🙌 That’s exactly the direction we’re going for-agents that quietly handle the repetitive work in the background, while keeping setup and cost as close to zero as possible. 🚀
Very interesting! I actually wanted a similar service specifically for sales, one that periodically tracks certain events related to clients.
