OpenClaw Agent Browser Useage & Accon

Brian shows how he gives his OpenClaw agents their own email, Dropbox, and GitHub accounts — plus how to configure them to use Chrome autonomously for tasks like checking email. Use his account setup approach and [ directives as your starting point for giving your own agent team independent access to the services they need.

This video covers setting up dedicated accounts for your OpenClaw agent team — treating them like real employees who get their own credentials rather than sharing access to your personal accounts. You'll see how to create a free Proton Mail email address, then use that to sign up for a separate Dropbox account and a dedicated GitHub profile.

The second half focuses on getting agents to use Chrome autonomously. You'll learn the difference between OpenClaw's Chrome Relay extension and the OpenClaw-managed browser mode, including a live demo of an agent opening Chrome, navigating to Proton Mail, and reading the first email — all without touching the Mac Mini. The trick is configuring agents.md with clear directives for browser usage and organizing those directives into separate doc files as instructions grow.

Topics covered in this video:

  • Creating a shared email address (Proton Mail), Dropbox account, and GitHub profile for agents
  • The "hiring metaphor" — inviting agents into accounts like real team members
  • OpenClaw-managed browser vs. Chrome Relay extension and why managed mode works better
  • Live demo: an agent autonomously checking email via Chrome on the Mac Mini
  • Configuring agents.md with browser and email directives
  • Organizing growing directives into a docs subfolder referenced from agents.md
