LIVE: Testing Memory Plugins with OpenClaw

Today we tested Honcho, memory plugins, and what it actually takes to add shared memory to an OpenClaw / Hermes agent setup.

This was a real build-in-public stream: snapshot first, test safely, hit the install issues live, troubleshoot Docker, ask the agent for help, and then step back to make the better architecture decision.

The big takeaway? I probably would not install Honcho directly on my main OpenClaw VM long term. For my setup, the cleaner move is a dedicated "Memory OS" VM on the local network, with both OpenClaw and Hermes pointing to that shared memory layer. That keeps the system cleaner, easier to back up, and easier to expand if we test more memory tools later.

We also talked through Hindsight, Bite Rover, Lossless Claw, embeddings, OpenAI API keys, local models, and why you should not blindly copy someone else's mission control setup. Use what works for your workflow, test it in your own environment, and keep the pieces that actually help.
