Using Openclawn to Turn AI into My “Daily Workflow Assistant”

Recently, I decided to start sharing how AI can be my assistant and help me work better. I thought about it for a long time, and I realized I don’t just want to say, “I use ChatGPT.” What I really want to show is this:

I can connect AI to a real workflow that actually runs, and it can keep helping me complete specific tasks.

The core tool I’m using right now is called openclawn. It runs in the terminal, and I treat it like an assistant that I can “assign tasks” to. For example, it can remind me at a fixed time every day to write a journal entry, remind me to apply for jobs, or remind me to handle my tasks for the day.

For me, the most important part is not the reminder itself. The key is that tasks can be standardized, reused, and executed automatically in a stable way.

Another great thing about openclawn is that it isn’t tied to just one AI model. At first, I mainly used GPT as my main conversation model. But when the limits run out, or when the situation doesn’t fit, I can switch to Claude as a backup. This way, my workflow won’t break just because one model is not available.

It feels more like building a system that can run continuously, not just having a one-time chat.

To make this system closer to real life, I also connected openclawn to a Telegram bot, so it becomes an easy entry point that I can use anytime. I can receive reminders and organized information inside the chat app, and I can even turn “next actions” directly into trackable tasks.

One scenario I’m still improving is automatically collecting and organizing internship / job opportunities. I let the bot search online regularly for relevant roles, summarize the information in a structured way, and then send it to me. At the same time, it writes the key items into Notion, so I can build a long-term database for applications and saved opportunities.

This way, I’m not just “seeing opportunities.” I’m turning them into real items in my workflow—things I can record, filter, and follow up on.

Of course, this system still has some problems. For example, if I want to change a task, I still need to open my computer and edit the code in the terminal. Sending a message to the Telegram bot can’t really modify tasks yet. Sometimes the bot says it did something, but in reality the task didn’t run.

In the future, I want to keep exploring how to improve my workflow with openclawn, and make it more reliable and easier to control.
