Hi how can I prevent this from bankrupting me?

“AI that actually does things” is a bold promise. Exposing real system control + chat-first access is powerful, and also where UX, safety, and trust really matter. Curious how you’re thinking about guardrails as people automate more of their daily workflows.
This is a powerful tool. I installed it on a separate computer that I was not using for personal used. The tool is very powerful and could delete or modify your files.

starting using it a week ago, after I saw someone run it on Raspberry Pi and damn! :)
Self-hosted agents with shell access are tricky... once you elevate permissions for one task, containing the blast radius gets hard. Curious if Clawdbot has per-session sandboxing or if elevated permissions persist across the whole session.
Full system access via a chat app sounds incredibly powerful, but also a bit scary if it's not secure. I love that they mentioned 'local privacy,' though. I wonder if the data stays encrypted on the machine, or if there's a risk of someone else hopping into the chat and running commands.
who came up with molt?
This product is spot-on—controlling your computer remotely via chat apps to automate shell, browser, and workflows sounds like the ultimate productivity hack (or lazy dev’s dream). Local privacy + full system access is developer-friendly, and 50+ integrations should cover most use cases. If it’s stable enough, I’d run it on a test server for automation tasks first. Bookmarked—gonna play with it this weekend.
