Add home TODO items by Telegram message

The author told an OpenClaw agent over Telegram to add items to a home TODO list via a custom API while at the office, before they stopped using it.

What They Did

The author ran OpenClaw and wrote a custom API that adds items to a TODO list kept only on their home PC, with no phone syncing. From the office they sent a Telegram message, and the agent called that API to add the item. The source gives no further setup detail.

How It Went

It worked well enough that the author misses it. They stopped using OpenClaw after their QEMU software broke, and are now asking how to replicate this without the setup hassle.

Worth Knowing

The author says OpenClaw was less effort than writing a tool per use case, but not worth weeks chasing a perfect setup because it isn't reliable enough.
