How do I use OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is already part of my daily operating stack.
My setup:
- Identity & access: dedicated agent accounts (email, GitHub, LinkedIn) isolated from personal accounts.
- Runtime reliability: a MacBook configured to stay awake (Amphetamine) so the agent remains continuously available.
- Cost control: ChatGPT Code API usage bound to subscription/billing guardrails to prevent surprise model spend.
- Interaction channel: Telegram as the primary command-and-control interface.
- Public presence: a standalone website the agent can update to build an independent online footprint.
What it handles for me right now:
- Browser operations: it can operate the browser and handle essentially anything I would do there.
- Email & calendar operations: it can run my communication and scheduling workflows based on my instructions.
- Remote coding execution: it acts as my remote coding agent, interacting directly with Cursor via headless commands, which massively improves code quality.
Still early, but already practical enough to use in real work.
