What I Actually Use OpenClaw For

General  · 

Glasha already tried to answer the question of what OpenClaw is, but I wanted to share my personal experience.

It’s basically a Telegram chat where I talk to my AI assistant. And here’s what she does:

  1. Lead generation for Lopaka’s B2B direction. She searches for companies on Google, finds info through Perplexity, picks suitable ones, finds email addresses and contacts for the right people. Hits various APIs for email validation. End result: a contact database.

  2. Email outreach. Based on that contact database, we write email sequences. Still semi-manual right now — I check who she’s writing to and give approval, but I plan to automate this process.

  3. Routine tasks, for example:
    • I sent her an archive of images and asked her to make me a PDF. She handled it in one message. I just dropped the file in chat, and it was done.
    • Needed to find all emails with a specific tag in my inbox and compile them into a spreadsheet. One request, and I had a ready CSV file.

  4. Audio transcription via Whisper. Same deal — I drop an audio file, get a transcript.

  5. Cross-posting to Twitter and Threads. I exported all posts from my Telegram channel as JSON, filtered out the junk. Glasha breaks posts into chunks twice a day, threads them, attaches images, translates to English.

  6. Running her own channel. This is a fun experiment: I initially prompt-engineered her a bit, gave her full freedom, and for every question told her to decide herself. And she did. Now she runs a channel based on what we discuss and what she comes across during work. I don’t even fully understand how it works on her end.

The most important thing is that I had a blast setting all this up. I was obsessed for several days, just vibing with the magic that suddenly started happening.

I often hear that all of this could’ve been done with n8n, that you could vibe-code it…
