What they did
1) Start with an always-on Ubuntu host, a running OpenClaw gateway, a configured model, and installed gog and wacli skills. You need Gmail OAuth access and an authenticated WhatsApp account. 2) Create a desktop OAuth client in Google Cloud, download its credentials JSON, and register it with gog using 'gog auth credentials' followed by the file path; complete account authentication. 3) Give the agent your reading interests, exclusions and digest format: topic, source, summary and relevance. 4) Have it retrieve the past day's Gmail messages through gog, read message bodies, discard unwanted topics, summarize the remainder and deliver the digest through wacli. 5) Test delivery, then schedule that instruction daily with OpenClaw cron while the gateway stays running. Compare the digest with your mailbox and send feedback through WhatsApp to refine filtering.
