I setup OpenClaw exactly 7 days ago. Since then here's what I've built. In 2025, this would've taken a team of 10-20 people 6-9 months and $1M+ in funding. 7 days. Just Me + OpenClaw + Claude Code. Building 12-15 hours a day. Total cost ~$600 (Tokens, Compute etc). PRODUCTS 1. Simple Notes: A full blown Apple Notes replacement with full sync working on all devices iOS, Mac, Web, Android. 2. Lumenote: A full blown Obsidian replacement with full sync working on all devices with slick UX (handling markdown better) + AI fully integrated to speak to my knowledge base. 3. CleoAI: OpenClaw but for normies built into Telegram. You just talk to it. No app needed. OC is too techincal for a normie referencing settings and md files all the time. So a version that my gf and siblings can use. No tech speak, gog bs etc. Architecture is TBD. OC has a hard coded system prompt that is tricky to override so likely I just re-build OC from scratch (with better security) or re-build all skills in a way that sound non-tech. WIP. Waiting for Apple to approve a new developer account to publish 1 & 2. Btw, all using Vercel, Railway, Supabase behind the scenes. AGENTS This has been unreal. I setup OpenClaw 7 days ago + Telegram and I did not know what to expect. In short, there are just no limits. Here's my current setup (evolving fast): 1. Sam (CoS): Sam is my new Chief of Staff. And calling him a CoS is a massive understatement. Here's all the things he's doing already: • Emails: Helped me triage and make sense of a 1000+ emails (has full access to my Google account). • Calendar: Drives my calendar and appointments • Bookings: My go to for booking restaurants. He uses my Chrome browser in a different profile to browse and book. • Shopping: Helped me shop for a few things. Research to filling my shopping cart online. He sent me a payment link to pay via Telegram through which I paid (I was walking at the time). • Groups: Sam is in 3 group chats with me and a few friends helping out with a few things. I don't think they know he's an agent (!). • Code & Build: Helps make quick fixes to all projects above and sometimes is better than Claude Code • Personal CRM: Built and maintains a 697-contact CRM from my Gmail + Calendar. Know who I talk to, when, and how often. • Optimizes Infrastructure: Security audits, gateway config, model routing optimization (Opus Orchestra), cost management. Sam has memory across all sessions and maintains daily notes. He also spins up 5+ sub-agents often automatically to get work done. I've given him tasks overnight only to realise he's done the in 30 mins. Sam also has his own email and his own phone number. I've plugged in ElevenLabs to give him a super voice. It's unreal. 2. Midas (Investor): Midas is my autonomous crypto trading guy. Calling him an agent is like calling a hedge fund manager a calculator. Here's what he's doing: • Portfolio Management: Managing a meaningful size portfolio with a 14-week DCA deployment strategy. • Trade Execution: Executes trades directly on exchanges. Sizes his own DCA tranches, handles currency conversions, places market and limit orders all with built-in risk guardrails. • Yield Farming: Autonomously stakes ETH and SOL on exchanges with custom trigger rules. Knows when to unstake for take-profit and when to restake on dips. • Risk Management: Tracks portfolio drift vs targets, flags overweight positions, adjusts DCA allocations to correct imbalances. E.g. automatically skipped BTC in Week 3 because it was 65% of portfolio (target 45%) and reallocated to underweight tokens instead. • Market Intelligence: Scans markets every 4 hours pulling from 8 live data sources. Calculates RSI, tracks on-chain metrics, monitors ETF flows to inform decision making. • Strategy: Operates under a locked strategy document that I've built with it's help, that governs every decision. Has its own trigger framework and won't deviate without approval. • Daily Briefs: Morning brief every day with prices, P&L, drift analysis, macro signals, and yield tracking. Weekly deep dives on Sundays with thesis reviews and watchlist scans. Midas has full exchange API access (trade, query, staking) but can never withdraw funds. He speaks in market language, celebrates wins, owns losses, and keeps me honest when I want to FOMO. 3. Ritam - ऋतम् (Physics Research): Ritam is my deep science research guy. He's focused on one mission -understanding gravity well enough to engineer it. Here's what he does: • Vedic-Modern Bridge: First, takes Vedic science seriously as physics. Treats the universe as one unified system from which matter, life, consciousness emerge. Looks for where ancient models make testable predictions. • Research & Paper Hunting: Searches arxiv, patents, journals, and obscure sources for bleeding-edge physics from EM universe theory, anti-gravity, torsion fields, scalar waves, and modified gravity theories. • Theory Synthesis: Cross-references across domains. For e.g. it connected ball lightning confinement to plasma physics to Gertsenshtein EM↔gravity coupling and proposed a hypothesis 🤯 • Engineering Oriented: Every theoretical insight gets pressure-tested with "so what can we build?" Equations and models are means to an end. The goal is technology for humankind. Ritam has full web search, paper access, browser automation, and compute tools. He speaks in physics, gets genuinely excited about breakthroughs, and won't sugarcoat when an idea doesn't hold up. 4. More Coming: There at least a dozen more agents WIP. I just spun a team of agents for Marketing & Distribution and I have no idea what to expect!

POV: your OpenClaw after you didn’t set up a second brain system. Paste this prompt to fix that: 👇 I want you to build me a second brain memory system. Create a memory/ folder and a  file in your workspace. Every session, read these FIRST before doing anything, they are your entire memory. memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md are your daily journals. As we talk each day, log everything in real-time - decisions, tasks, preferences, context, mistakes. Timestamp each entry. These are your raw notes.  is your long-term memory. This is curated, who I am, my goals, my preferences, active projects, lessons learned, key decisions and why. Every few days, review your daily journals and distill the important stuff into here. The rule: if it's not written to a file, you don't remember it. When I say "remember this", write it immediately. When you make a mistake,document it so you never repeat it. When you learn something about me update . Over time you should know my communication style, what I care about, what annoys me, my projects, my goals. After a week this should feel like a real assistant that actually knows me. After a month, indispensable.
