ANECDOTE

Setup Service Hit Memory Limits

  • ClawSourcing (setup service) charged $2,000 plus $500/month and initially generated about $12,000 from a handful of clients.
  • They paused the service after six paid installs because memory and long-term client support exposed OpenClaw's limits.
INSIGHT

Memory Is The Real Agent Bottleneck

  • Long-running client relationships revealed OpenClaw's memory ceiling: forgetting client details and overpromising became frequent failure modes.
  • They built Sondex as an agent-first CRM to surface client history automatically before any draft is composed.
ADVICE

Force Agents To Load Context Before Replying

  • Build agent-first tooling that auto-enriches client cards from email and Stripe so agents pull full context before replying.
  • Sondex forces Felix to load a customer's enriched card before composing, reducing forgetful responses and errors.
