What they did
Gave OpenClaw a daily job: check new Sentry issues and the product to-do list, and make pull requests for the things it can do well. When a bug comes in, they just ask it to fix it and send a PR. It also checks Slack and Basecamp for anything that needs attention, and summarises voice messages they don’t want to listen to.
How it went
It does it, and after just 2-3 days it was already handling a lot of work they used to do by hand. They can now keep coding even when they’re away from their desk.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Every morning, check [Sentry project] for new issues and [to-do list or board] for open tasks. For each one you can fix confidently, create a branch, fix it with a test, and open a pull request explaining the cause and the fix. Skip anything risky or unclear and list it for me. Send me one summary with links.

Detailed Markdown specs go to OpenClaw, which spawns and tests Claude Code instances for hours until the app works as described. "Is the code any good? Probably not." They check before trusting it.
Micromanaging five, 10 or 20 agent sessions doesn't scale. Their OpenClaw agent, Patch, runs the Claude Code instances in a shared tmux session and reports back in one Telegram chat.
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.
Wanting their son to grow up around books, they hooked OpenClaw to their Goodreads list to scan local used bookstores for titles to buy. They say they've never read as much or enjoyed it as much as now.
When a new OpenClaw beta added Telegram message streaming, they asked their agent what else had changed. It read 15+ merged pull requests, compared them to the current version, and gave an upgrade recommendation.
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.
