[0:00] OpenClaw is the single most powerful piece of software ever released. The problem is 99% of people have no idea how to get value out of it. In this video, I'll go over five use cases you can steal today to instantly start getting value out of OpenClaw. You will be obsessed with OpenClaw by the end of this video. So, let's lock in and get into it. The first use case I'm going to go over is the daily memory tracker. And this does two massive things. One, it greatly improves the memory of your OpenClaw. It makes it go from dumb to genius. But two, it gives you an

[0:34] incredible track record of everything you work on day in and day out. This allows you to track everything you've talked about, everything you've coded, everything you've built, everything you've shipped. It's like a journal for your working life that you don't have to manage or track yourself. It's all done automatically. So, I'm going to show you how it works, then I'll give you the prompt for it so you can build it yourself. My OpenClaw built this dashboard out for me for all our daily memories. By default, OpenClaw doesn't track daily memories. Now with this, it does. And now I can go back and any day, in any month, in any year, I can see

[1:08] what me and my OpenClaw discussed on that day. So, if I built an app a couple months ago and I forgot how it worked or I forgot how I built it, I can go all the way back to a specific day that I built it, click on that day, and now I can see the exact things I built and did on that day. I can see on this random day I clicked on January 27th, I built out the brains in the tools model, we re-implemented different models for different use cases inside OpenClaw, which saved a ton of money. And now I can see exactly how we built that out

[1:39] and what we discussed to build that out. And even the more impactful part about this is this now drives the entire memory system for my OpenClaw. Ever since I implemented this daily memory system, my OpenClaw has never forgot a thing. It remembers everything. I can say, "Hey, remember that project we started 3 months ago? Let's resume it." And then now my OpenClaw can start working on it again. It did not do that before. So, you need to implement this daily memory system. It It allows you to track everything you do in intense detail and improves the memory of your OpenClaw by 10x. So, here's how you set

[2:12] it up. Let's go into Telegram and I'll give you the prompt down below as well that you can just copy and paste. I want to set up a daily memory system. We should have logs for every day we work together. Every discussion we have, you should put a summary into this daily tracker system. Then you should refer back to this logging system whenever I have questions about specific projects or days. Please build out this dashboard. If you have a mission control like I do, like you can see right here, you can just say, "Hey, add it to our mission control for me." If you don't know what mission control is or you want

[2:42] to know how to build it, I'll put a link down below for a video in which I explain how to build out the mission control. It's basically a hub for all these custom tools we can build out. But I think this is the first thing you should set up with your OpenClaw so you can improve its memory and you can start tracking all your work. I can't wait till like 5 years from now when I can look back and I can see everything I was working on from 5 years ago day in and day out. I think that's going to be really cool to have. So, memory tracking

[3:07] system improves your OpenClaw and allows you to track all your work. That's a great use case, but this next use case helps me make sure I'm on top of all the news the moment it breaks and it keeps my content trending so I can keep getting more and more eyes. And this is my trending content alert. In Discord, I have this channel alerts and in this channel, Henry will alert me the moment any sort of content starts trending that

[3:33] talks about things I'm interested in. So, if there's a tweet about ClaudeCoder or if there's a Reddit post about OpenClaw that goes super viral, I will get alerted the moment that happens so that I can A, know about things people care about and stay on top of the latest breaking news, but B, stay on top of trends. If you're a content creator, the most important thing you can do to go viral is talk about cutting-edge trending topics. This allows you to do that. So, this not only helps me stay on top of what people are talking about, what's important, but also keep my content trending so I can keep growing

[4:09] my audience. So, right now for instance, the top trending post on X about Claude code, someone just posted this getting 2,000 likes, is about vibe coding inside VR headset. So, now I know people care about vibe coding in VR headsets. Now I can go and create a YouTube video that shows people how to vibe code in VR headsets. This is how you stay on top of trends, find the latest and greatest tools the moment people start talking about them, and keep your content relevant to your audience. You got to implement this and the way you implement this is very, very simple. So, here's the prompt you need to steal. I'll put

[4:42] it down below. Use the X API, Reddit API, and YouTube API to track trending content in Claude code, OpenClaw, and AI. Those are the three subjects I care about. You can put in whatever subjects you want. Every hour, spin up a sub agent that checks these platforms for what's trending in those topics. Then send me the best trending content to an alerts Discord channel. If you haven't set up your Discord yet, it is a great platform to set up these kind of advanced workflows in OpenClaw. Also put a link down below for the setup of Discord and OpenClaw. But you hit send on this. What you're going to need to

[5:16] set up is the X API, Reddit API, YouTube APIs. Your OpenClaw will walk you through that. They'll ask you for API keys. They'll tell you how to get the API keys. Reddit and YouTube are free. The X API costs per call. So, it's up to you. I think it's worth it. It's not too expensive. If you want to stick with free, you can just do Reddit and YouTube. But you get that set up and you're now going to get the latest breaking news the moment it starts trending on social media. You'll be updated on everything you care about and you can make amazing content. That use

[5:45] case is amazing cuz it keeps you on top of news, but this next use case is great because it's going to help you save money on software and build out any tool you need the moment you need it. And that use case is vibe coding. Vibe coding inside of OpenClaw is so awesome. It's so easy to do. It might be even easier to do than Claude code and it allows you to build any tool you need the moment you need it. So, this is an example of something I vibe code OpenClaw. This entire mission control, this 2D animation of all my agents working, these are all things I vibe

[6:16] code with OpenClaw. I told OpenClaw, "Hey, go build this for me." and it went and built it for me. Now I'll show you in a second how to figure out what apps you should be building. But one question I get a ton is, "When should I be vibe coding with OpenClaw? When should I be vibe coding with Replit or with Claude code or with CodeX?" If you're building any sort of super serious consumer-facing application, go with Claude code. Go with CodeX. But if you're building out simple micro apps that you're going to use day-to-day, if you're building out tooling for your own OpenClaw, you want to be using OpenClaw

[6:47] for this because it's going to build those apps so much better for you. It has better context around what you need. It knows exactly how to fit those apps into your workflow. You don't need any IDEs. You don't need to go into the CLI. You just go into Telegram anywhere you are, at the gym, at In-N-Out, wherever you are, and say, "Hey, build me this out." and the app will be built out and running on your computer when you get home. Here's a prompt I like to use. I will also put this down below. If you've watched any of my videos before, you know all about this. This is a reverse

[7:16] prompt. Based on what you know about me and my workflows, what is a micro app we can build right now that would improve my life? I love using these reverse prompts OpenClaw because no one knows you better than your OpenClaw. OpenClaw has such amazing memory, especially if you implement that memory system we talked about earlier, that no one will be better to tell you at what you should be building than OpenClaw itself. So, you run this, it'll look at all your workflows, it'll look at everything you got, it'll look at everything you've done together, and it'll make you recommendation for an app. So, I just ran the prompt. Let's see what my

[7:49] OpenClaw got me. A tweet bank where agents come up with tweets every day for me based on everything we're doing and I can just swipe right Tinder style and it posts it for me. That's not bad. That'll help me automate my Twitter a good amount. You need to run this prompt and see what your OpenClaw says for you. And now all I need to do is say, "Yeah, please build it." and I'll have the micro app built. I didn't have to do any thinking or planning. Reverse prompting

[8:13] made this so easy. Run the prompt now. See what type of micro apps you can build out that will automate your life and make it so much easier. This next use case is one I actually just developed this morning that I think is so, so sick. I think everyone should be doing this for themselves. And that is your own personal research and development team that generates ideas for you every single night. So, here's what I built out. I have this R&D lab where every night five AI agents meet, talk about my business, talk about everything we did that day, and come up with recommendations for what I can

[8:47] improve. This is my own personal research and development lab that finds new ways for my business to grow and for me to make money. The five AI agents go in, see what we worked on the last couple days, see what our outputs are, look at the code of the apps I'm building, look at the tweets I put out. Then one of them comes up with an idea on how to improve them. Then the other four debate that idea. After those AI agents go at it and debate each other, they build me a memo. This is just a 2-minute read that tells me exactly what I should be improving in the apps I'm

[9:18] building, in my content, whatever they decide to debate that day. I've gotten four memos so far from this research and development team and they have helped my business so much. It's helped totally change the direction of the different apps I'm building. No matter what it is you do, whether you have a 9-to-5, a career, a family, whatever it is, you should set up your own research and development team that will help come up with ideas and guide you on whatever it is you care about. If you have a career, they can review what you're doing in your career and give you advice for getting promotions and raises. If you're

[9:49] getting started in content, it can review your tweets and give you recommendations for what you can put out. If you have a family, they can come up with new ideas for things you can do together, for planning vacations, whatever it is. You need an autonomous research and development team working for you all the time. And it's really cheap, too. We've had four memos, and each one's cost me 10 cents. So, I'm getting really good results from this for really cheap. So, here's the prompt you want to use. I'll put this down below. I want a research and development team that works for me 24/7. It should

[10:17] be a team of five different AI models that look at what I'm working on, come up with new ideas, then debate those ideas amongst themselves. They then build me a final memo that gives me new recommendations for things I can do to improve my apps or generate more revenue. Please set up a dashboard for this. I'll put this down below as well, so you can just copy it. It's going to

[10:36] choose five different AI models for you. You're going to have to set up APIs with each. It'll walk you through that. Super simple and easy to do. You don't need to be technical for it. My team goes twice a day, so 9:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. they have the debates amongst themselves and give me the report. You can have it do once a day if you want, five times a day if you want, whatever your budget is, you can build a team around that. But this is one of the most powerful use cases of AI is having intelligence that can come up with new ideas for you, that sees things

[11:04] in different perspectives, and that can help autonomously advance your business. No matter what it is you're doing in your career, you need a research and development team that can work for you. Steal this prompt and get this done. That is a great use case, but this next use case is probably my most requested use case to explain, and that is the overnight employee. Every single night my Open Claw goes and builds something it thinks that can push my business forward for me. It does it proactively, and it does it autonomously. I don't ask for these specific things. One of my favorite things it's built for me is

[11:38] this feedback dashboard. This is a dashboard that plugs into my SaaS Creator Buddy and actually collects feedback from users for me. We were having discussions where I had no feedback mechanism in my SaaS, so one night it proactively and autonomously went and built out this feedback widget for me that that plugged into my SaaS. And now I can get feedback that people leave me on my app Creator Buddy. And then I can go and fix bugs or implement

[12:06] features that were requested from me. This proactive overnight employee is one of the best reasons to be on Open Claw. This is something ChatGPT can't do. This is something Claude Code can't do. This is something only Open Claw can do. But how do you set this up? How do you have your Open Claw proactively and autonomously just do things for you, just build things for you? You got to prompt it the right way. Here's the prompt you need to steal. I'll put this down below for you. I want you to be a proactive and autonomous employee. Every night at 2:00 a.m., that's the key part here, please take a look at my business,

[12:40] what we've done together, and our goals and objectives, then do one task you believe will bring us closer to those goals and objectives. Every task should bring us one step closer to our goals. I need you to be an autonomous employee. So, there's a couple key things going on here. The biggest thing is this, every night at 2:00 a.m. What that is doing is actually scheduling a cron job for your Open Claw. Cron jobs are just scheduled tasks. What that cron job will do is trigger at 2:00 a.m. every morning and cause your Open Claw to go, reflect on your businesses, what you've done together, your missions, your

[13:14] objectives, your goals, and figure out one task it can do to bring you closer to those goals. Every morning I wake up, and I wake up to a surprise, something my Open Claw did overnight to get us closer to those objectives. This is how you build that. Sometimes it'll build you a micro app, sometimes it'll write you a plan, a script, a tweet if that's something you're interested in. It'll just do something to get you closer to your goals. This is how you set it up to be autonomous. If you do these five things I just showed you in this video right now, you steal the prompts down

[13:45] below, your Open Claw is going to be humming. You're going to get so much productivity out of it, and you'll have no idea how you're doing life without Open Claw before. This upcoming Friday I'm going to do a live boot camp in the Vibe Coding Academy that will go over all my use cases and everything I do in Open Claw. So, if you're interested in that, link for the Vibe Coding Academy is down below. If you learned anything here at all, please leave a like down below and let me know in the replies what you want me to talk about next in my next video. Everything I do here is

[14:14] based on your feedback and replies from all my videos. So, let me know. I'm thinking about doing my long-awaited local models video on how to use Open Claw with local models. That might come next, so let me know. Make sure to subscribe and turn notifications. All I do is make amazing videos about AI, and

[14:30] I will see you in the next video.
