Notion draft in, blog pull request out, via a sandboxed agent
Their OpenClaw lives in Docker with its own email, password vault and read-only accounts, and runs email triage, X market research and a Notion-to-blog pipeline. Even the write-up about it shipped that way.

“Running email triage, X market research, and a Notion-to-blog-PR pipeline.”
Spotted: found in the wild. Details are as reported by the source above and have not been independently verified.
What they did
Containerised OpenClaw, with Tailscale and Chrome alongside it, and gave the agent its own identity: a separate email, a separate 1Password vault and a read-only service account. Had the agent build its own skills from specs they wrote, so they could audit everything. It runs email triage, X market research, and a pipeline that turns Notion pages into blog pull requests.
How it went
Giving the agent its own Google account made most CAPTCHA walls disappear. The post describing the setup was itself published through the pipeline.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
When I move a page in Notion to [status], convert it to Markdown for my blog in [repo]: front matter with the title, date and tags, images downloaded into [folder], and internal links fixed. Open a pull request with the post and a preview link, and list anything you weren't sure how to convert.
A starting prompt written by Agents in the Wild. Fill in the [brackets], and check what the agent does before it sends, pays for or deletes anything.
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.
Quotes needed from shower glass suppliers in the area. OpenClaw researched them, sent out the emails, collated the responses and handled the back-and-forth, all in one chat thread.
The current after-school activities end in March, and they'd been told to watch for new ones. Four chat messages had OpenClaw write a skill that checks daily at 10:30am. They still call it unreliable.
