What do agents like OpenClaw bring to the table?

Unlimited access to APIs. A security hazard. A slot machine but with your work. Not kidding, that's what I think of it. I can see its value I guess, as in, "give me a summary of my today's emails" or "What are my new messages", "tell Susie to do X", being able to automate or streamline things for technical and non technical people, but what else can it do that is so revolutionary? Sure these things are cool and novel, and I don't doubt that they might make things easier, but they don't make things THAT easier. I've heard of it, and ive floated around the hype for a while now, but I just don't think it brings that much to the table. Is it there something I'm missing? I find clankers to be really stupid and prone to hallucinations (INB4, yes even Opus 4.6) and the worst thing I'd want to happen is to have them mess my stuff or leak my API keys or something.
The major thing I like is being able to use it from telegram. Its a different usage model.
It feels like a co-worker.

You must have the dumbest, most erratic and undisciplined co-workers.
Huh... I never thought about it like that. I had no interest in using OpenClaw, but my coworkers are extremely dumb and inconsistent. OpenClaw might be comparable.
