A Snapshot of How I'm Using AI in February 2026

I gave OpenClaw its own:

• email address on my personal domain
• It's own personal gmail, mainly for Google Drive
• A phone number via esim, which allowed me to move my main chat from Telegram into WhatsApp (for the encryption).
• GitHub account
• A strictly protected service account in Scarf's Google Workspace.

This is helpful to separate the work that OpenClaw does from my own, and lets me grant fine-grained access to resources more natively to whatever platform its using.

Instead of a single long thread trying to handle everything, I have specialized agents for recurring workflows (engineering tasks, reporting, meeting follow-up, lead ops, writing support).

Each one has a narrow scope, a schedule that it runs on, and a lightweight orchestration system that I am building on top of org-mode (more on that below). Some of my subagents run daily, others run every 30 minutes, especially the ones writing code.

I've long wanted to build an org-mode successor, and now it's finally happening with the help of OpenClaw.

Each long-standing subagent now has a dedicated org2 file in Dropbox. Each has its heartbeat instructions in its org2 file, and logs its work, summary status, and blockers. That way, I can easily monitor whats happening from my editor and intervene asyncronously when needed, without getting in the way of the normal chat flow.

I am dogfooding org2 for myself as I do this, and migrating myself off of emacs (finally) and into the VScode ecosystem.

Org2 is still not ready for prime-time, but it is already supporting most of my day to day org-mode usage!

A lot of value has come from kicking off meeting follow up items more automatically:

• Meetings are transcribed with Hyprnote.
• Every hour, MeetingBot will SSH into my laptop, check for new meeting summaries.
• Any product feedback we get triggers a new Linear ticket to be made, checking for duplicates first.
• Any other follow up task for me is logged into my daily org mode notes, so I can track and get reminders on all of my devices.

This has been hugely helpful at a time where I am in lots of meetings.

OpenClaw in our #analytics channel can easily answer any questions I have, and is even now handling our customer-facing reports.

Scarf offers lead gen services as an add-on to our platform. That has historically required a human to move leads from an internal spreadsheet to an external one, with different fields. OpenClaw has automated this fully!

• Codex 5.3 for basically everything.
• More personality via a much more robust SOUL.md than I had before.
• Less voice notes and more pictures, mostly because voice notes are slow (with my current setup)
• QMD plugin for the memory layer.

• Memory is still not reliable enough.
• Real time voice chat.
