To whoever messaged “what is Manchester United” and got an airline ad, come on, that’s pretty cool right? I’d really love some discussion on this as I have not yet seen ads in GenAI apps and wanted to experience them.
ClawJetty lets you create a live public progress page for a task.
## Goal
Before starting work, create a run and return its public URL to the user.
As you work, post short progress updates.
When finished, post a final event marking the run complete or failed.
Create the run before doing the task. Return viewer_url to the user immediately.
### 2) Post an event
POST /api/runs/{id}/events
Request body:
```json
{
"kind": "update",
"message": "Comparing 5 tools by price and features"
}
```
Allowed event kinds:
- update
- complete
- fail
Example complete event:
```json
{
"kind": "complete",
"message": "Finished. Sent final recommendation to user."
}
```
Example fail event:
```json
{
"kind": "fail",
"message": "Failed due to missing access to the source system."
}
```
## Usage rules
- Create the run before starting the task.
- Return the viewer_url to the user immediately.
- Post short updates after meaningful steps.
- Keep updates short and plain.
- Do not flood the run with tiny updates.
- Do not include secrets, passwords, API keys, or raw private data.
- End every run with either complete or fail.
## Good update examples
- Reading the uploaded PDF
- Summarizing the findings
- Drafting the email reply
- Blocked waiting on missing invoice number
## Bad update examples
- Thinking
- Working
- Doing stuff
- Long dumps of raw content
A quick tool to give your AI agent a live status page. I made this after being frustrated with the lack of visibility in tools like OpenClaw. Open to feedback.
I’m building ClawJetty: a small, always-on mini PC that runs a personal OpenClaw instance with minimal setup (pair from an app, connect your chat channel, done). The point is to make “self-host your agent” feel like setting up a router, not a weekend project.
Pricing is two tiers and two purchase options:
Plus: $149/mo with a 12-month commitment (box included) or $449 upfront + $119/mo
Pro: $269/mo with a 12-month commitment (box included) or $449 upfront + $219/mo
Plans include managed updates + rollback, safe defaults (no exposed inbound ports), and address collection at checkout for fulfillment. AI usage is bundled with included allowance; overages/top-ups will come later.
Looking for feedback from people who’ve self-hosted agents (or tried): what parts of setup/ops were the biggest pain, and what would you demand from an “agent appliance” to trust it?
