Source and screen candidates and reply over WhatsApp
From the linked report, openClaw runs on a dedicated machine such as a Mac Mini. A 6 AM booked task uses the browser skill to visit chosen GitHub repos, pull contributors, filter for recent activity and send a Telegram digest. The guide says API costs run roughly $10 to $30 a month for light use and $100 to $200 for heavy use.

Why it matters
Coding agents are moving from autocomplete to doing whole tasks: reading a codebase, making a plan and changing many files. This case is a concrete example of where that works in practice. It is one of 106 sightings filed under Software Development on Agent Sightings (number 82 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.
In this repo, source and screen candidates and reply over WhatsApp. Read relevant code, apply a minimal patch, run available checks, and summarize the diff. Stop before merge or deploy.
The prompt breaks down into 3 steps you can check as the agent works:
- In this repo, source and screen candidates and reply over WhatsApp.
- Read relevant code, apply a minimal patch, run available checks, and summarize the diff.
- Stop before merge or deploy.
Tip: Work on a fresh branch, ask for a plan before edits, and review the diff and test results before merging.
