Set up OpenClaw bots for a repo, notes, and Slack
They used OpenClaw to keep a personal repository updated, capture notes, and handle Slack summaries and questions.
- What they did
- They ran multiple OpenClaw and Zeroclaw bots on a DGX Spark system with local inference. One bot lived in Discord to record issues, set priorities, and update documentation for a personal repository. Another turned incoming messages into notes and produced a daily AI news digest chosen by their own relevance filter. A third operated in Slack, converting Google meeting notes into weekly or monthly recaps and responding to organization questions.
- How it went
- The Slack-based helper was the clearest real-world example for them. Juggling multiple agents across SSH sessions and configuration files became cumbersome enough that they built an orchestration tool.
- Tips
- If you want more than one agent running at once, decide early how you’ll monitor and control them. Have the bot pause for approval before it deletes, rewrites, sends, or submits anything.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Help me run three agents: one for my personal repo at [repo path or URL], one for note-taking from messages I send, and one for a daily news digest about [topics] at [time]. The repo agent should log issues, keep priorities up to date, and draft clear commit messages. The note-taking agent should save concise notes to [notes location]. The news agent should send one sample digest first so I can confirm the style and topic filtering. A Slack-facing agent should turn [meeting notes source] into a weekly or monthly summary and answer team questions from the information it can access. Before you delete, overwrite, send, or submit anything, stop and ask me to approve it.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
