I've used open claw (just for learning, I agree with the author it's not reliable enough to do anything useful) but also have a similar daily summary routine which is a basic gemini api call to a personal mcp server that has access to my email, calendar etc. The latter is so much more reliable. Open claw flows sometimes nail it, and then the next day fails miserably. It seems like we need a way to 'bank' the correct behaviours - like 'do it like you did it on Monday'. I feel that for any high percentage reliability, we will end up moving towards using LLMs as glue with as much of the actual work as possible being handed off to MCP or persisted routine code. The best use case for LLMs currently is writing code, because once it's written, tested and committed, it's useful for the long term. If we had to generate the same code on the fly for every run, there's no way it would ever work reliably. If we extrapolate that idea, I think it helps to see what we can and can't expect from AI.
