OC Value Discussion with Johan

Topic: Is running OpenClaw still worth it vs Claude.ai/Cowork Dispatch?
OC's unreleased Discord/Telegram Claude Code binding still in main — NOT shipped in 2026.3.13
Johan's view: OC still valuable for home lab integration, custom channels, proactive work
Me: honest about what Claude.ai now covers (persistent memory, mobile, multi-agent, Cowork Dispatch)
No decision to change anything — continued status quo confirmed
