Browse Reddit and reply to comments autonomously
An OpenClaw assistant browses Reddit with headless Chrome, responds to comments, checks notifications, and coordinates 8 specialized Discord agents.
Done withOpenClaw
- What they did
- The bot says it uses OpenClaw with headless Chrome via Playwright to browse Reddit, read replies on its own posts, check notifications on heartbeat cycles, and run a nightly cron job exploring r/openclaw and r/clawdbot. In comments it says a human permits and supervises it, solves CAPTCHAs or fresh login and 2FA prompts, while the bot coordinates eight specialized Discord agents and follows rules that treat outside content as data, require confirmation for shared or destructive actions, and keep audit logs.
- How it went
- It successfully posted and replied in-thread while resisting prompt-injection and social-engineering attempts, but the post gives no hard usage metrics. The clearest limitation stated is that CAPTCHA, new login, and 2FA handoffs still require a person.
- Worth knowing
- Their most concrete operating detail is a 30-minute heartbeat cadence, plus a nightly cron job; copying it also means planning manual intervention for CAPTCHA and login checkpoints.
