OpenClaw: Agentic AI with Real Potential — But Not for Everyone

🤖 My Honest Take on OpenClaw: Agentic AI with Real Potential — But Not for Everyone

After spending several weeks diving deep into OpenClaw, I’d like to share an honest experience that might be useful for anyone curious about this tool.

A Non-Linear Installation Journey:

✅ Windows → Easy to install, but approval prompts kept popping up every time OpenClaw tried to execute an action — and it ran noticeably slow (likely because I had AI running locally via Ollama minimax). If you’re looking for seamless automation, Windows can be quite frustrating with all those approval dialogs. (Or maybe there’s a config I’m missing — feel free to drop a comment!)

🔄 Moved to WSL2 → Impatient as I was, I switched to WSL2. This time, due to hardware resource constraints, I used Google Gemini 1.5 (free tier) as the brain. The difficulty level jumped significantly, but with AI assistance I eventually got it running. Basic functions worked — but only barely, as Gemini 1.5 struggled to handle more complex tasks reliably. On top of that, I hit a websocket issue when trying to integrate wacli. That pushed me to consider moving to Linux native.

🐧 Finally: Linux Native (Ubuntu under Hyper-V) → Installation experience was similar to WSL2 — definitely not plug-and-play. This time I decided to invest (no more free tier) and switched to Claude with the Haiku 4.5 model as the AI backbone. Lots of prerequisites had to be set up manually before the system was truly operational. But it worked — not perfectly, yet noticeably smarter than before. The upgrade in model quality made a real difference.

What’s Working So Far?
Several skills are running well: weather info, printing, webcam access, and snapshot capture. Progress so far has been satisfying.

What’s Still a Challenge?
Automated messaging via WhatsApp or Telegram — sending messages to contacts on my behalf — still doesn’t work. This is likely due to security restrictions on those platforms.

My Conclusion:

OpenClaw offers a genuinely compelling vision of Agentic AI. However, it requires at least intermediate IT skills to operate effectively. This is not a next-next-finish solution.

Looking ahead, OpenClaw has the potential to become a widely adopted Agentic AI platform — but only if the setup experience becomes significantly more user-friendly. Because no matter how powerful the technology is, mass adoption will only happen when the barrier to entry comes down.

Have you tried OpenClaw? I’d love to hear your experience!

Internet Explorer Mode on Microsoft Edge

Internet Explorer has been around since 25 years ago and refused to die until a few days ago, Microsoft has finally announced that Internet Explorer application on Windows 10 will be officially retired on 15 June 2022. As reported by https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2021/05/20/microsoft-ie-internet-explorer-windows-web-browser-retired-edge/5166225001/

But what if you still have to access the application that require Internet Explorer?

How to activated Internet Explorer Mode on Microsoft Edge?

Don’t worry, the new browser from Microsoft is Microsoft Edge has a feature to activate Internet Explorer Mode on Microsoft Edge.

The step to activated this feature as follows :

  • Open Microsoft Edge Browser
  • Click “settings” on Microsoft Edge menu settings as screenshot below :
Microsoft Edge browser settings
  • On Settings page, choose “Default Browser” menu and turn on “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer Mode”
Allow sites to be reloaded in internet explorer mode on Microsoft edge
  • After you have activated the IE Mode, you can browse the URL and activated the mode. To run it, choose “More Tools” – “Reload in Internet Explorer Mode”, see below screenshot :
Reload in internet explorer mode settings
  • Next you can open the website or web application that require Internet Explorer running on Microsoft Edge without you have to open Internet Explorer browser software. The example below, I can open CCTV application using Microsoft Edge :
Internet explorer mode on edge demo

What if the “Allow Sites to to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode” is missing?

But what if you find out the option “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer Mode” is missing? Like I found on my Microsoft Edge browser, see the screenshot below :

Missing Internet Explorer sites in Microsoft Edge
Menu “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer Mode” was missing

This is usually happened if Microsoft Edge browser running under managed by Organization. It caused because your Windows 10 has already joined domain. To resolve this issue, you have to activated Microsoft Edge Policy Template so that the options can be shown on Group Policy Editor on Windows 10

Please follow these steps below :

  1. Download the newest Microsoft Edge Policy Template at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download
  2. Choose the newest version of Microsoft Edge and download the file.
  3. Extract MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.cab file included MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.zip file
  4. Browse extracted folder, find folder “windows\admx”
  5. Copy files msedge.admx and msedgeupdate.admx to folder “c:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions”
  6. Browse extracted folder, find folder “admx”, inside folder “admx”, find and open folder “en-us”
  7. Copy files msedge.adml and msedgeupdate.adml to folder “C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US”
  8. After finished, it will be shown “Microsoft Edge” on Group Policies.
Microsoft Edge Policy shown on Group Policy Editor
See the red box, the Microsoft Edge policy has already shown on Group Policies

Then you can activated the policy, follow these steps below :

Configure Allow Internet Explorer mode testing on Group Policy Editor
Set Enabled on “Allow Internet Explorer mode testing”
Configure Internet Explorer integration on Group Policy Editor
Set Enabled on “Configure Internet Explorer integration”
Configure Internet Explorer integration on group policy editor
You will be required to choose either “Internet Explorer Mode” or “Internet Explorer 11” on “Configure Internet Explorer integration” selection. In this case I choose “Internet Explorer mode”.

If you have follow those above steps, you should can activated Internet Explorer Mode on three dots menu -> More Tools -> Open Sites in Internet Explorer Mode.

You can review Microsoft Edge settings by open URL edge//:policy in Microsoft Edge address bar. See screenshot below :

How to fix Lotus Sametime Community Version information in Sametime Server Console

In my previous post, I’ve told you that I’ve experienced with Sametime Meeting Browser Audio Video plugin. Long before that solution, I’ve upgraded all Lotus Sametime components to 8.5.2 IFR1 and because the error still persists, I’ve decided to revert snapshot to 8.5.2 and re-upgrade to 8.5.2 IFR1.

The Lotus Sametime Community Server still using 8.5.2 IFR1 (no re-upgrade). That’s why the information of Lotus Sametime Community version in Lotus Sametime Server Console (SSC) still shown version 8.5.2. See the picture below.

It’s been a year since my last update to this blog 😀 So I think I’ve to write a post again. This is may be the first post in 2013 but perhaps this is important post since I’ve googling around, I found no solution for this problem. Thank’s for IBM to help solve my problem.

Straight to the point. I’ve installed Sametime 8.5.2 into 2 seperated machine. 1 machine has been installed Lotus Sametime Server Console, Sametime Proxy, Sametime Meeting & Sametime Media Server. And the other machine has been installed Lotus Sametime Community Server also using version 8.5.2

IOS 6 & Iphone 5

Pada tanggal 21 september yang lalu, apple merilis iphone 5 dengan design layar yang lebih lebar dan design body yang lebih tipis dari sebelumnya.

Meski demikian, secara design dasar masih tetap merujuk pada design iphone 4 ataupun 4s.

Operating system yang digunakan pada iphone 5 adalah IOS 6. Fitur IOS 6 sudah dibenamkan apple map (utk menggantikan google maps) serta membuang youtube.

Mungkin bisa dimengerti jika apple memutuskan untuk membuang fitur tersebut karena mereka tidak ingin bergantung pada google yang sekarang juga sudah terang-terangan ingin bersaing dengan apple dengan produk androidnya.

Dari beberapa hasil googling & browsing, saya mencoba merangkumkan beberapa kelebihan & kekurangan iphone 5 dengan IOS 6 nya.

Kelebihan iphone 5:
1. Apple terkenal dengan design produk yang cantik dan elegan. Hal ini terbukti dengan design iphone 5 yang terlihat cantik dan tipis apalagi sekarang dgn layar lebih lebar. Saya menganggap utk masalah design produk, apple masih adalah terbaik di kelasnya.
2. Pada video youtube berjudul “drop test iphone 5 vs samsung galaxy s3”, iphone 5 menang drop test over samsung galaxy s3. Pada drop test tersebut samsung galaxy s3 layarnya retak sedangkan iphone 5 hanya lecet di pinggirnya.
3. Apple mengklaim bahwa kekuatan graphicnya terbaik karena chipset graphicnya memiliki 4 core. Apple boleh berbangga karena iphone 5 adalah smartphone pertama yang memiliki chipset graphic 4 core.
4. Dukungan dengan 700,000 aplikasi di app store. Masih terbanyak ketimbang google playstore.

Kekurangan iphone 5:
1. Dari sisi pricing, iphone 5 yang ditaksir akan berharga 8-9 jt jika masuk Indonesia adalah tergolong smartphone yang sangat mahal. Dan tentunya hanya kalangan tertentu yang bisa memilikinya.
2. IOS 6 membuang google maps. Meski digantikan dengan apple maps. Kualitas dan akurasi apple maps masih jauh ketimbang google maps.
3. IOS 6 membuang youtube sebagai aplikasi bawaan. Untungnya aplikasi youtube tersedia di apps store.
4. Ada lembaga survey yang mengumpulkan pendapat 16,000 pengguna ios 6, yang mayoritas mengatakan kecewa menggunakan ios 5. Tidak jelas apa yang dikecewakan tetapi kemungkinan salah satunya adalah fitur google maps dan youtube yang hilang dari IOS 6.
5. Tidak ada perubahan screen secara signifikan dari IOS 6. Dibandingkan dengan android yang suka melakukan perubahan scara revolusioner ketika berganti versi.

Paling itu dulu mengenai plus minus iphone 5. Nanti akan saya update lagi jika ada sesuatu yang baru

God Particle

Bulan Juli ini mungkin bisa jadi merupakan bulan yang penuh kejutan. Karena ilmuwan CERN mengumumkan bahwa mereka telah menemukan partikel Boson atau disebut juga partikel Tuhan (GOD Particle).

Partikel ini disebut-sebut, sebagai partikel utama pada sepermilliar/seperjuta detik sebelum terjadinya big bang.

Konon katanya partikel inilah yg memicu bagaimana terjadinya ‘big bang’ pada saat penciptaan alam semesta termasuk bumi salah satunya.

Katanya, penelitian ini memakan waktu hampir 40 tahun sampai-sampai menjadi ‘pop culture’ pada film-film Hollywood seperti Angel and Daemon, Iron Man, dll.

Teori ini dikemukakan oleh Higgs Boson pada tahun 1964. Dan sampai skrg penemu tersebut masih hidup.

Meski dinamakan ‘Partikel Tuhan’ dan namanya yang sedikit memprovokasi kaum beragama (yg percaya bahwa Alam Semesta diciptakan oleh Tuhan), penemuan ini tidak bertujuan utk menumbangkan teori penciptaan. Justru sebaliknya, teori ini makin menegaskan bahwa bagaimana alam semesta ini diciptakan dan ada sesuatu yang ‘Super Being’ yang memberikan kekuatan tersebut sehingga alam semesta tercipta.

Perdebatan mengenai penciptaan dan bagaimana bumi dan alam semesta terbentuk memang menjadi perdebatan selama berabad-abad. Namun tidak pernah ditemukan jawaban yang memuaskan, padahal di dalam Alkitab jelas dikemukakan bahwa Tuhan lah yang menciptakan alam semesta (Wahyu Khusus) bahkan sebenarnya jika kita memandang langit dan bumi maka tersirat jelas bahwa Tuhan lah yang menciptakan langit dan bumi (Wahyu Umum). Siapa yang bisa membuat alam semesta? Mungkinkah semua terjadi kebetulan belaka? Meski kebetulan pun, pasti ada sesuatu yg mampu menggerakkan, membentuk dan sesuatu itu pasti adalah Sang Maha Pencipta.

Dan memang keberadaan Sang Pencipta jelas dikemukakan baik tersirat maupun tersurat oleh semua agama di dunia (apalagi pada abrahamic religion (Islam, Kristen dan Yahudi). Tentunya ‘pop culture’ ini bisa menjadi bukti bahwa pada jaman purba, manusia pada dasarnya sudah menyadari bahwa ada sesuatu Yang Maha Pencipta yang menciptakan mereka beserta alam semesta.

Penemuan Partikel Tuhan justru membuat kita semakin mengagumi bagaimana rumitnya dan indahnya ciptaan Tuhan.

Oleh karena itulah sejujurnya saya sampai sekarang masih belum mengerti, bagaimana Atheis bisa menyangkal keberadaan Tuhan sebagai pencipta yang padahal jelas-jelas tersirat dari alam semesta sekitar kita. Tidak perlu kita berpikir secara rumit-rumit utk mencari tahu siapa pencipta alam semesta, karena Tuhan sudah menunjukkan secara jelas kepada kita.
