OpenClaw - Your First AI Employee

You installed OpenClaw. You followed the README. And now it just sits there, doing nothing useful.


You're not alone. This is the project that Jensen Huang called "the most important software release probably ever" has a dirty secret: most people who install it never get past "Hello World." They burn through their tokens, get confused by YAML configs, and end up with an expensive chatbot that can't even manage their calendar.


This book turns that dead install into a staff of AI agents that run your email, write your content, and send you money while you sleep.


You won't read about theory. You'll build 9 working projects across 12 chapters, each with real code, real cost breakdowns, and a specific deliverable you can test the same day. By Chapter 4, your agent reads your notes and answers questions about them. By Chapter 6, it runs your inbox. By Chapter 9, it writes proposals and chases invoices. By Chapter 12, you're selling agent setups to clients for $3,000-$5,000 each.


A software engineer pointed an AI agent at his job search. In about a week it applied to more than a hundred roles, building his resume and tracking every application. He got two offers and doubled his salary. His total cost: $40 in API credits.


This book shows you how to build that kind of system, starting from zero, with no coding background required. Every project is verified against the current release: the install path, the config format, the skill format, and the price of every model it tells you to run.


Every skill and scheduled job in this 2nd edition book also comes as a free companion repo: already written out, organized by chapter, with one command that installs them into your own agent.


What you'll build:

1. Inbox Zero Machine: Email triage, auto-drafts, and a morning briefing that saves 2+ hours per day.
2. 24/7 Research Analyst: Monitor 50+ sources and get daily intelligence briefings for $8/month.
3. The Content Engine: Turn one idea into 35 platform-optimized posts per week, scheduled automatically.
4. Freelancer's $0 Admin Staff: Proposals, invoicing, time tracking, and client management on autopilot.
5. Multi-Agent Pipeline: Combine OpenClaw + Claude Code into a production team you manage from your phone.
6. The $6/Month Setup: The 4 levers that decide your bill, including the 2 that cost most people the most money.
7. 10-Point Security Lockdown: The hardening checklist every other OpenClaw book skips.
