Ask HN: What serious task have you accomplished with Moltbot / OpenClaw?

4•lukol•16h ago
I'm genuinely curious. I've read a lot of stories of people adding it to group chats, using it as a remote coding and research assistant, or getting it to clean up folders and inboxes. This is all interesting, but nothing that couldn't have been accomplished with the tooling that was already in place.

I'd like to hear stories like "it accurately filed my taxes", "it organized and booked all tickets for my trip from A to B", or "it successfully executed a cold email campaign with a 30% open rate". These stories must be out there - would you mind sharing them?

I always asked my wife to send me a calendar invite for stuff like appointments, kids events, etc. She rarely did and I couldn't really plan my work around life. Now she just texts our bot from Telegram about the event and bot creates an event on our family calendar and invites my work email.

Just works!

Nice but if a simple bot can do it, then I'd feel bad about deploying a big, expensive agent...

I guess its easy to add more behavior with plain instructions? That would be a departure from a simple bot..
