Use an agent to draft emails and compare ticket prices

OpenClaw helped one Microsoft developer handle email drafts and look up concert-ticket prices at home.

What they did
Omar Shahine began using OpenClaw for personal errands earlier in the year. He asked it to write email drafts and research concert-ticket costs, and he called the assistant Lobster. The article does not describe how he set it up at home, and it later notes that he joined a Microsoft team working on OpenClaw-based agents that propose actions and wait for approval.
How it went
The home-use section did not include any finished outcome. Shahine presented Lobster internally on Feb. 26, had taken on a new role by March 31, and on May 1 the related ClawPilot had more than 3,000 Microsoft employees testing it.
Tips
Keep approval steps in place for anything that could send a message, spend money, or make a lasting change. Microsoft’s Defender team also says OpenClaw should not be run on a normal personal or enterprise workstation because it uses untrusted code execution with persistent credentials.

Try it yourself with OpenClaw

Act as my household task helper. First, look through [mailbox or label] and prepare draft replies for messages that need responses, but do not send anything. Next, check ticket prices for [artist/event] on [sites], then summarize the lowest-priced options with seat information and links. Pause before any message is sent, any purchase is made, or any other irreversible action happens, and ask me to confirm first.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
