⚠️ Where OpenClaw Is Not Ideal
OpenClaw isn't the right tool for every use case. Here's where it may not be ideal:
- ✗Real-time voice calls — Use dedicated voice AI tools for live conversation

- ✗Strict SLA requirements — Self-hosted requires your own monitoring
- ✗Completely offline without setup — Requires initial configuration
