So…with all this openclaw stuff, I was wondering, what’s the FOSS status for something to run locally? Can I get my own locally run agent to which I can ask to perform simple tasks (go and find this, download that, summarize an article) or things like this? I’m just kinda curious about all of this.
Thanks!


Thanks! I have an understanding of being able to run these models as LLM you can chat with, using tools like ollama or GPT4All. My question would be, how do I go from that to actually do things for me, handle files, etc. As it stands, if I run any of these locally, it’s just able to answer offline questions, and that’s about it…how about these “skills”, where it can go fetch files, or go find an specific URL, or say a summary of what a youtube video is about based on what’s being said in it?
Sorry, wish I was able to share more. I honestly JUST started diving into this stuff after your post. Learning a lot from the various other comments though. Hopefully some of the other commenters can help you get the answers you’re looking for.
