OPENCLAW GUIDE

How to Actually Use
OpenClaw

Export your AI brain from ChatGPT & Claude.
Let OpenClaw build your automations for you.

You've been using AI
for months

→Hundreds of conversations in ChatGPT and Claude
→Custom instructions, preferences, context: all locked in their platform
→You don't own any of it. They do.
→And it doesn't do anything. It just answers questions
STEP 1

Export your AI brain

01ChatGPT: Settings → Data Controls → Export Data (24-48hr email)
02Claude: Settings → Account → Export Data (instant download)
03You get everything: conversation history, custom instructions, preferences
# You'll get JSON files like:
conversations.json : every chat you've ever had
user_instructions.json : your custom instructions
model_preferences.json : how you use AI
STEP 2

Feed it to OpenClaw

01Drop your exported data into OpenClaw's workspace
02OpenClaw analyzes your conversation patterns
03It builds your SOUL.md: your personality, tone, preferences
04It builds your MEMORY.md: key facts, decisions, context
05It suggests use cases based on what you actually use AI for
STEP 3

It builds your automations

📧 Email Drafting

If you use ChatGPT for emails → it builds an email skill that drafts in your voice

💻 Code Review

If you use Claude for code → it sets up dev workflows with your conventions

📅 Calendar & Tasks

If you ask AI about scheduling → it connects to your actual calendar

📝 Content Creation

If you brainstorm content → it builds a content pipeline with your brand voice

It reverse-engineers your AI habits into real automation

ChatGPT answers questions
OpenClaw does work

→Runs 24/7 on a $3/month server, not just when you open a tab
→Connected to your actual tools: Telegram, Slack, email, calendar
→Persistent memory: it remembers everything across sessions
→Proactive: it checks your email, reminds you about meetings, tracks your goals

Total cost

$3/month for the server
$20/month API costs (average)
$23vs $20/month ChatGPT Plus (which can't do any of this)
