Use OpenClaw to Make a Personal AI Assistant

OpenClaw is an open-source system for running Claude Code as a personalized AI assistant to automate tasks and increase productivity. The setup process involves using Docker containers for security, obtaining an API token for Claude Code, and personalizing the agent's behavior through conversation. Users can grant the agent access to various applications like GitHub, Slack, and email to perform actions autonomously. The system's effectiveness relies on creating specific "skills," which are stored instructions that guide the agent on how to handle tasks like reviewing code or sorting emails. For best results, users should provide clear, unambiguous instructions and ensure important information is saved as explicit skills.
