I got OpenClaw installed and set up an AI agent called Marv.
I wanted an assistant I could experiment with while building apps: something to help with technical tasks and gradually fit into my workflow.
There was more to the setup than the install. I had to work through model choices, fallbacks, providers and the environment configuration. Getting those pieces working together was part of figuring out what Marv could actually help with.
For now, I have OpenClaw running and Marv set up. There’s still work to do on the model setup and reliability before I can rely on it for more of the day-to-day work.
