When to run and what's in the night sky, sent by their agent every day
Their OpenClaw checks the weather and their Strava to suggest run times, says what's worth stargazing at each day, and sends a daily digest of their RSS feeds. Smart, if pricey on Claude.

Result Smart, but pricey on Claude
“It also sends me recommendations for times to go for a run based on the weather and my Strava activity, daily recommendations for stargazing (what's visible and when, weather, etc), and a couple of daily reminders for things I tend to forget.”
Spotted: found in the wild. Details are as reported by the source above and have not been independently verified.
What they did
Runs OpenClaw on a Proxmox VM. It reads the RSS feeds they chose and sends a daily summary with an image of the day, recommends times to go for a run based on the weather and their Strava activity, gives daily stargazing recommendations (what’s visible, when, and the weather), and sends reminders for things they tend to forget.
How it went
It works, with Claude as the model, which makes it smart but pricey. Routing different jobs to different models has proved trickier than they expected.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Every morning at [time], check today's forecast for [location] and my recent Strava activity, and suggest the best time window for a run today and how far to go, given my training. In the evening, tell me what's worth seeing in the night sky tonight (planets, the moon, events), when, and whether the clouds will allow it.

An agent box, not a primary laptop: OpenClaw runs on an old MacBook Air, reached through Slack. Its first job, a morning brief with weather, tasks and ideas, came with one broken part: the subreddit scan.
Invited into the chat, OpenClaw mapped everyone's personality, interests and way of talking. Now it helps them plan, debate and roast each other, and barely feels like an agent anymore.
Every night their OpenClaw pulls the day's Obsidian notes from GitHub, writes spaced-repetition cards into their flashcard app, and nudges them if they've skipped reviews for a few days.
Obsidian, Notion, Roam: none of them stuck. Now they chat with OpenClaw on a spare machine and it decides what goes where, as plain Markdown in git. It's kept away from anything sensitive.
OpenClaw scans Hacker News and Twitter overnight for their topics and reads their personal email for anything due that day, from the kids to the bills. Half-baked at times, but now a daily habit.
Hospital paperwork needed sorting, some in a language still being learned. An OpenClaw agent scanned 34 pages, flagged missing signatures and drafted an insurance pre-approval for review.
