How do I create a personal AI assistant with OpenClaw?

Definitive Answer

Deploy an OpenClaw agent on FetchOpenClaws with the Personal Assistant skills enabled, connect it to your preferred messaging platform (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack), configure your timezone, daily briefing schedule, and preferences, then interact naturally via chat. The assistant manages tasks, sets reminders, answers questions, and sends you daily briefings automatically.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1Deploy an OpenClaw agent on FetchOpenClaws using the Personal Assistant template.
  2. 2Connect to your messaging platform: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack.
  3. 3Connect optional integrations: Google Calendar, task manager (Todoist/Notion), and news sources.
  4. 4Configure preferences: timezone, working hours, briefing time, and notification preferences.
  5. 5Enable memory so the assistant learns your habits and preferences over time.
  6. 6Start with a test: "Add a task to call John tomorrow at 2pm" and "Set my briefing for 8am daily".
  7. 7The assistant will proactively send briefings and reminders from this point forward.

Example Prompt

Create a personal assistant that sends me a daily 8am briefing with weather, calendar events, and top 3 priorities. Remind me of tasks 30 minutes before they are due. Connect to my Telegram.

Common Pitfalls

  • Not enabling memory — the assistant loses context between sessions without it
  • Not connecting a calendar — scheduling reminders without calendar integration causes conflicts
  • Overloading the assistant with too many integrations at once — start simple and add gradually
  • Not setting working hours — the assistant may send reminders at midnight without hour restrictions
