❓ FAQ
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Q: Is this really 100% free?
A: Yes. Both Ollama and OpenClaw are open-source. No API costs, no subscription, no usage limits. Forever.

Q: Does my data leave my computer?
A: No. Everything runs locally. Once installed, you can disconnect from the internet and it will still work.

Q: How does this compare to ChatGPT / Claude?
A: Local models are smaller, so they're not quite as smart on complex reasoning, but they're absolutely good enough for most agent tasks like organizing files, summarizing notes, and automating workflows. We'll cover when to use which in a later video.

Q: My computer is older / has less RAM. Will it still work?
A: Try the smaller `llama3.2:1b` model. Slower and a bit less capable, but it runs on lighter hardware.
