Three places to start
- OpenClaw Tutorial: Build Your First Automation, End to EndYour first hour shouldn't go into channels, cron, and plugins — it should end with one automation you built and understood. Every prompt to get there, in order.
- What Does It Cost to Run an OpenClaw Agent? About $50 a MonthThe OpenClaw agent bill, measured over 30 days: $50.93 for the normal setup — a $20 plan plus $30.93 of metered workhorse. The expensive month starts when premium routing or unattended jobs escape their own limits. I run the same workload on Hermes and see the same cost shape.
- Set Up an Inbox System in Your Obsidian VaultThe Obsidian inbox pattern, why it gets better when an agent can read it, and how to build it: four folders, one schema, one script, three rules.
