When the agent is doing something, it sends a status like "clawing" or "doodling" or something else. Although I like a bit of a playful app, I feel that this is not very professional.

I would like to see a way to change this because I am not even sure what "clawing" means. If it's writing, just say "writing."

I would suggest being able to customize this so people can add something in their own language. But at least set 2 out-of-the-box options, the standard playful ones we have now and the professional ones. writing, researching, waiting... (not sure how many there are)... Be right back??

Problem to solve

Making openClaw more professional, Claw shows what your backend is, and not everyone needs to know this.

More professional system. And if you allow manual customizations, people can adapt it to their own language. or make even more funny status massages .
