Tool · 9 cases

Use cases: OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent that runs on your own machine and connects to messaging apps, email and calendars to carry out tasks. The cases show personal and work automations built by people who like to configure their own tools. Because it has broad access, the accounts talk a lot about being careful with permissions. See what was automated and the prompt for each case.

9 cases, from newest to oldest. The most common topics are productivity, education and study, and rights and bureaucracy. People who show up most: entrepreneur, parent, and driver. Each case links to the original source, shows a verification date and includes a prompt we wrote.
