Manage inbox, calendar, and errands in chat
OpenClaw lets people control Gmail, Calendar, and routine admin from Telegram or WhatsApp.
- What they did
- People set up OpenClaw on their own machine and linked it to Gmail and Calendar, then talked to it through Telegram or WhatsApp. The agent removed clutter from inboxes, handled unsubscribe requests, and a scheduled cron task delivered a morning update with inbox, calendar, and weather details. One user also had it submit health reimbursements and search for doctor appointments.
- How it went
- The roundup shared testimonials rather than hard metrics. In one case, the agent misread a reply and started an argument with an insurer, although that claim was later looked at again.
- Tips
- Give the agent only the access it needs, since it keeps memory in local files and can act through the shell. Require a check-in before any unsubscribe, reply, payment, or form submission.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Link [Gmail] and [Google Calendar] to [OpenClaw] and let me use them from [Telegram or WhatsApp]. First, review the last [time period] of inbox traffic and separate newsletters and promo senders from other mail. Then suggest which of those senders I should unsubscribe from. Also create a daily check-in for [time] that includes my schedule, important new mail, and weather. Before you unsubscribe from anything, reply to a message, send a payment, or submit a form, stop and ask me to confirm. Once the check-in is running and I’ve looked over the unsubscribe suggestions, end the task.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
