"Buy a mac mini, copy a couple of lines to install" is marketing fluff. It's incredibly easy to trip moltbot into a config error, and its context management is also a total mess. The agent will outright forget the last 3 messages after compaction occurs even though the logs are available on disk. Finally, it never remembers instructions properly.
Overall, it's a good idea but incredibly rough due to what I assume is heavy vibe coding.
It's been a few days, but when I tried it, it just completely bricked itself because it tried to install a plugin (matrix) even though that was already installed. That wasn't some esoteric config or anything. It bricked itself right in the onboarding process.
When I investigated the issue, I found a bunch of hardcoded developer paths and a handful of other issues and decided I'm good, actually.
And bonus points: Nice build/release process.I really don't understand how anyone just hands this vibe coded mess API keys and access to personal files and accounts.
