I installed openclaw and set it to use Gemma 4 but it didn't act in an agent mode at all, it only responded in the chat window while doing nothing, and didn't read any files or do anything that you wrote (though I see you do mention that it's not great at using all tools). What are you using exactly?

I had the same issues. I had to tell it to use sub agents explicitly, and instead of saying set a cron say set an openclaw cron.

I generally do like the model, it’s not a great agent though.

It’s good for summarization tasks, small tool use, and has pretty good world knowledge, though it does hallucinate.
