What is AINL and how does it work with OpenClaw?

AINL compiles graph-based workflows into deterministic code—no runtime LLM orchestration. Hooks into OpenClaw crons via binaries or MCP for smoothly swaps.

How much can I save switching OpenClaw agents to AINL?

Real data shows 7.2x (86%) on recurring jobs like monitoring and social automation—$7 to $0.97 daily across 17 live flows.

Is AINL only for simple tasks or does it handle complex agents?

Shines on policy-driven repeats; hybrids add LLM nodes for creativity. Not for pure open-ended invention.
