Build and maintain a local ops dashboard with agents
A solo business owner had OpenClaw agents build and iterate on a local mission-control dashboard with Kanban, approvals, cron and social scheduling, replacing Asana; open-ended overnight runs burned tokens.
Done withOpenClaw
- What they did
- The author vibe coded a local Mission Control dashboard, using Convex for data, Postiz for social scheduling and Tailscale for remote access. Her main agent, Fred, then reviewed it, found bugs or weak features, and wrote scoped tasks. An engineering agent worked on those overnight, and she reviewed the results each morning.
- How it went
- It replaced her Asana subscription and her social scheduling tools. Concrete, stable-scope tasks worked well. Ambitious autonomous night work was less dependable, and sometimes she woke up to a mess.
- Worth knowing
- Keep overnight tasks concrete and narrowly scoped. If the starting assumption is wrong, agents can spend hours going the wrong way and burn through your token budget.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Build me a local ops dashboard on my computer to replace [current tool, e.g. Asana]. It should have a Kanban board for [my main workflows], an approvals queue, and a view of scheduled jobs such as [cron tasks or social posts]. Work in small steps, stop after the first working version, and show me what it looks like. Do not run open-ended overnight loops or send, publish, or delete anything without asking me first.
