Critical Perspectives

Community concerns and opposing viewpoints

1

Local-first, not cloud

Replies repeatedly insist the draw was ClawdBot running on users' machines — people want agents that execute CLI commands, touch files, and run on local models. Many call "runs in the cloud" a dealbreaker and a departure from what made the original viral.

2

Privacy and control fears

Commenters equate "cloud" with handing sensitive repos and personal data to strangers — "someone else’s computer" and "full access to my computer" are red flags. Trust, keys, and opsec come up as non-negotiable requirements.

3

Open source and customizability expected

Multiple replies demand an open harness, filesystem access, observability, browser automation, and gateways (iMessage/Telegram). The lack of FOSS transparency is described as making the product useless to this audience.

4

Feature removals hurt credibility

Users argue the new offering stripped away the very features that defined ClawdBot — no CLI execution, no file access, no local model support — framing it as an inferior, different product for a different audience.

5

Commercial skepticism

There’s strong suspicion about funding, paid posts, and future charges. Comments warn of token/credit consumption, recurring costs, and the risk of paying to rent compute that users used to run themselves.

6

Calls for proof and patience

Many respondents say it's too early to tell and ask to "see it in action" — they expect demos to fail or hype to collapse and want tangible user feedback before buying in.

7

Comparison to existing tools

Some point out Claude or OSS alternatives already cover similar ground; others recount testing other agents (Twin, Gobii) and finding mixed results, suggesting competition and skepticism about the new claim that it’s "everything ClawdBot should have been."

8

Community identity clash

Reactions portray a cultural mismatch — this audience prizes self-hosting, tinkering, and ownership, and they view closed, cloud-hosted startups as antithetical to that ethos.

Everything ClawdBot should have been? Everything they stripped away is what makes ClawdBot great! I don’t want ClawdBot running in the cloud. I want it running on my computer using local models running commands in my CLI. ClawdBot being local is why it went viral

Running in a laptop is Clawds superpower. This thing can’t even run cli commands or touch files and folders. Big meh

Supporting Voices

Community members who agree with this perspective

1

Enthusiastic reaction to Twin and its zero‑setup, cloud‑based approach — many praise the “game‑changer” angle, call the experience smooth (“works like a charm”) and highlight effortless scaling and no manual installs as the killer feature

Several replies point to a likely surge in adoption and link sharing invites people to try it.

2

Direct comparisons with Clawdbot — a sizable portion of replies position Twin as its successor, with comments ranging from “everything Clawdbot should’ve been” to blunt dismissals of Clawdbot hype

Some users say they’re canceling hardware orders in response.

3

Security and privacy questions remain front and center — users explicitly ask how security is handled (e

g. , whether cloud agents must log into Google accounts) and want clarity before fully trusting a cloud agent model.

4

Strong endorsement of the team and founder — several replies defend the lead (Hugo Mercier) as experienced rather than “random,” applaud the Paris team, and celebrate the product as the result of real engineering work rather than pure VC hype

5

Cautious optimism about execution — while excitement is high, multiple voices caution that this is early days and that execution will decide the product’s fate; some call the buzz “hot take” or “hype,” urging a wait‑and‑see stance

Vibrant community energy and rivalry — replies mix playful bragging (token mentions like $TWIN), memes, and sharp critiques of low‑effort promotional accounts, signaling both grassroots support and the usual social media hype cycles
