How can I use OpenClaw for team knowledge management?
Definitive Answer
Deploy an OpenClaw agent with shared team memory on FetchOpenClaws. Connect it to your team's communication channels (Slack, Discord, etc.), and it automatically captures meeting decisions, project context, and institutional knowledge. Team members query shared memory for past decisions, and new joiners use the agent to get up to speed in hours instead of weeks.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Deploy an OpenClaw agent on FetchOpenClaws with the Team Collaboration template.
- 2Connect to your team communication channels: Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams.
- 3Configure capture rules: which channels and conversation types the agent captures from.
- 4Set memory scoping: team-wide shared memory with role-based access for sensitive information.
- 5Let the agent run for 1-2 weeks to build up a base of team knowledge.
- 6Introduce team members to the query interface: "What did we decide about the pricing strategy last quarter?"
- 7Onboard new team members using the knowledge agent instead of manual documentation handoffs.
Example Prompt
Set up a team knowledge assistant for our 15-person product team. Capture decisions from our #decisions Slack channel, summarize weekly meeting notes, and let team members query our shared context.
Common Pitfalls
- Capturing from all channels without consent — always inform team members and follow privacy policies
- Not setting permission boundaries — sensitive HR or financial discussions need restricted access
- Expecting perfect extraction from day one — the knowledge base improves with time and volume
- Not curating captured knowledge — periodically review and remove outdated or incorrect entries
