Test OpenClaw on email and travel tasks
A user tried OpenClaw for two emails and a Ryanair booking, but the flight step failed when the browser would not connect.
- What they did
- They installed OpenClaw on their own machine and spent about three hours using it for email and travel chores. The agent managed to send two emails, but when asked to book a Ryanair flight, it ran into trouble reaching its built-in browser.
- How it went
- The experiment used about $15 and more than a million tokens to complete those two emails, which works out to roughly $7.50 per email. The flight booking did not go through at all.
- Tips
- Before relying on it for web-based tasks, make sure the agent can actually connect to its browser. For anything that sends a message or makes a purchase, have it stop and show you the final version first.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Use [OpenClaw] on my machine to help me with two tasks: first draft and send an email from my [email account] to [recipient] with the subject [subject] and message [message]; second, try to book a [flight details] flight. For every step, show me the exact draft or page you reached, then pause and wait for my approval before sending, paying, or submitting anything. If anything fails, tell me precisely where it stopped and why, and keep a running estimate of token use and cost as you go.
