Search and apply to jobs on LinkedIn
Case study takeaway: the poster gave OpenClaw control of a Chrome browser with the OpenClaw extension installed, then manually logged into LinkedIn so the agent could use the live session. After discussing their background, the agent wrote and stored profile details in multiple markdown files, made a resume PDF, searched LinkedIn and other job sites, applied to matching roles, and logged applications in Google Sheets; the human helped create some accounts and later shut it down. The poster says it applied to 100+ jobs in about three days, leading to interviews with six companies and two offers, with the accepted one paying a little over $5k a month versus about $2.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 17 by interest), and one of 41 involving OpenClaw.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into OpenClaw or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Help me search and apply to jobs on LinkedIn. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
