Best always-on agent
Which agent can keep working while I do something else?
All four run in the background. The trade-off is convenience against control.

1
Grok BotBest managed option
Cloud computer, routines, approvals and plugins with no server to run. Claire Vo moved her whole agent stack to it from OpenClaw and runs about 30 agents.

2
OpenClawMost control, most upkeep
Open source and fully configurable. It powers the most ambitious autonomous business here, and it takes real work to keep running safely.
