Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The author ran OpenClaw and wrote a custom API that adds items to a TODO list kept only on their home PC, with no phone syncing. From the office they sent a Telegram message, and the agent called that API to add the item. The source gives no further setup detail.

  2. How it went

    It worked well enough that the author misses it. They stopped using OpenClaw after their QEMU software broke, and are now asking how to replicate this without the setup hassle.

  3. Worth knowing

    The author says OpenClaw was less effort than writing a tool per use case, but not worth weeks chasing a perfect setup because it isn't reliable enough.

Example prompts

Try with OpenClaw
Connect to my Telegram so I can message you to add items to my home to-do list stored at [app, file, or API]. When I send something like 'add [chore or errand]', add it and reply with the updated list. Finished means one test item appears in the list and I can ask you to read the list back. Ask before removing any items.
