Done withOpenClawHermes Agent
- What they did
- OpenClaw runs persistently as a personal assistant for small calendar tasks and ADHD support: energy level check-ins and nudges to spend attention on things that matter. Under the hood it orchestrates Hermes, which the user never talks to directly. The rest of the setup is separate coding tools run in tmux.
- How it went
- The source gives no results or numbers for the OpenClaw setup, only that it runs persistently and covers those calendar and check-in uses. It doesn't say how well the check-ins work.
- Worth knowing
- The source is a brief comment, so it has no setup steps, prompts, or costs for OpenClaw; expect to work out the calendar and check-in configuration yourself.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Act as my persistent ADHD-friendly assistant. Each day at [times], message me on [Telegram, Slack, or other app] to ask how my energy is on a scale of 1 to 5, look at my calendar at [calendar], and suggest the one to three things that matter most right now, based on [my priorities]. Keep the messages short and kind. Ask me before creating, moving, or deleting any calendar events, and show me the exact change first.
