Collected Use Cases of OpenClaw on X (Posts with 100+ Likes)
@davidgelberg — demo night: showing @clawdbot
last week @steipete crashed our first @unicorn_mafia demo night to show us @clawdbot
@maddiedreese — open-sourced Xteink tamagotchi setup
Open sourced my @openclaw Xteink tamagotchi setup! Includes instructions to purchase Xteink, create sprites, flash firmware, and configure Openclaw to run the required skill. Plus a demo of the sprites created.
@iam4x — Discord admin automation + model routing
You need Discord admin access. Example: create a category called "Research" and use @grok for research. Mentions @OpenRouterAI for selecting different models per task to optimize cost.
@GaelBreton — skepticism about common demos
Critique: many demos are calendar invites, email monitoring, support tickets, morning summaries. Claims similar workflows can be done with n8n or Claude Code; asks for something meaningfully new.
@saviomartin7 — simpleclaw: deploy an always-on instance (third-party)
Introducing simpleclaw.com: a third-party pitch for deploying a 24/7 OpenClaw instance in under a minute, aimed at non-technical users, with a demo.
@agentskills_ai — WhatsApp link butler / second brain workflow
Send links to a personal WhatsApp channel; the agent stores, categorizes, extracts insights, and makes them searchable. Trigger: when sending a link with #secondbrain.
@jeffzwang — skepticism about engagement bait
Notes people may be making up Clawdbot stories for engagement. Argues most people won't onboard with a VPS-first approach; local setups still take many hours to polish.
@BlockBeatsAsia — Chinese explainer of Clawdbot/OpenClaw
Explains OpenClaw as an AI agent with execution privileges integrated across OS/tools and messaging platforms. Highlights memory, MCP/skills, and security risk due to high permissions.
@corbin_braun — engineers unlock vs non-technical users
Opinion: for non-technical users it may not be worth it; for engineers it's a major unlock since ChatGPT 3.5 and could push software cost toward zero.
@petergostev — generate a codebase explainer video (Remotion)
Use case: pair Remotion and Claude Code to generate a video that explains how a codebase works; applied to the clawdbot codebase.
@cocktailpeanut — one-click launcher for MoltBot/OpenClaw
Claim: run MoltBot (FKA ClawdBot) with 1-click; no Mac mini/WSL/AWS needed—laptop is enough. Shares an onboarding link.
@gregisenberg — getting-started video recommendation
Shares a 35-minute video described as a clear explanation of how to get started with Clawdbot/Moltbot to build a business and become more productive.
@AlexFinn — 7 life-changing ClawdBot use cases
Lists: overnight coder, daily research report, headless Notion, personal CRM, automatic assistant for todo list, X trends follower, and content researcher monitoring competitors.
@polydao — automated Polymarket trading experiment
Claims: plugged OpenClaw into Polymarket with $100, traded 15-min BTC markets overnight, woke up with ~$347. Notes sentiment/news scanning, volatility reaction, and decision logging.
@testingcatalog — connect Moltbot/OpenClaw to Ollama local models
Notes you can connect Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot) to local models via Ollama so data stays on-device with no API calls.
