Automate home tasks like emails and ticket price checks

Microsoft's Omar Shahine used OpenClaw at home to draft emails and investigate concert-ticket prices.

What They Did

Omar Shahine started using OpenClaw earlier in the year to automate tasks at home, such as drafting an email or investigating concert-ticket prices. He called his assistant Lobster. The article gives no setup detail on the home use. It covers his later move into a Microsoft team building OpenClaw-based agents that suggest actions and wait for user approval.

How It Went

The article doesn't report results for the home tasks. Shahine demoed Lobster internally on Feb. 26. By March 31 he had a new role, and by May 1 more than 3,000 Microsoft employees were testing the related ClawPilot.

Worth Knowing

Microsoft's Defender team says OpenClaw is untrusted code execution with persistent credentials and shouldn't run on a standard personal or enterprise workstation.
