Build an Agent Team with OpenClaw

This intro video sets the stage for the OpenClaw series — covering what to expect, how the series is organized, and how to approach building your own multi-agent AI setup. Use the provided guides, cheat sheets, and system snapshots as your starting point to explore and build your own agent workflows.

Setup

Configuring your machine and your team

Setup a Mac Mini for OpenClaw

Do you need a dedicated machine for OpenClaw? Does it have to be a Mac Mini? What are the unique configs we'll need to setup?

Screenshare & SSH into your OpenClaw machine

Walk through three methods for remotely accessing and managing your OpenClaw Mac Mini — screen sharing, SSH, and Tailscale VPN — plus a custom iTerm2 profile with tmux for managing multiple processes. Use the provided configuration guide as your starting point for setting up reliable remote access to your own agent machine.

OpenClaw File Syncing with Dropbox

Learn how to use Dropbox with symlinks to sync your OpenClaw files — skills, configs, workspace, and BRAIN folder — across all your Macs while keeping personal files completely separate. Use the symlinking approach and dual-Dropbox-account strategy as your starting point for seamless file access to your own agent system.

Multi-Agent Configuration for OpenClaw

See how to configure a four-agent team in OpenClaw with distinct roles, personas, and model assignments — all sharing a single workspace for simplicity. Use the multi-agent configuration guide and shared-workspace approach as your starting point for designing your own agent team.

Agent Personas & Chatbots for your OpenClaw Team

Walk through setting up Telegram bots for each OpenClaw agent and creating distinct personas with custom avatars using Claude and Google Gemini. Use the bot setup process, persona development approach, and security pairing tips as your starting point for bringing your own agent team to life.

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.

Dashboard App

Lets build a custom dashboard app for OpenClaw

Let's build a custom dashboard for OpenClaw!

Find out whether you actually need a custom dashboard app for OpenClaw, and what the upcoming plan-and-build series will cover — from product design and architecture to deployment with Cloudflare Tunnel. Use the provided planning docs, sample code, and lessons learned as your starting point for building your own agent control plane.

Job to be Done for a custom OpenClaw Dashboard

Get a full walkthrough of the current dashboard app, including which features matter and which are getting cut — especially the recurring task system and OpenClaw integration. Use these V1 lessons and feature decisions as your starting point for planning your own agent dashboard.

Product planning for the OpenClaw dashboard app

Walk through the full planning package for building the OpenClaw dashboard app — milestone-based prompts, tech stack docs, and sample integration code from the V1. Use this starter kit and development workflow as your starting point for planning and building your own agent control plane with Claude Code.

Building the OpenClaw Dashboard App

This video walks through building the OpenClaw Dashboard App from scratch using Claude Code and a spec-driven development approach. We work through six milestones covering authentication, a Kanban tasks board, recurring scheduling, agent and skills syncing, and an activity feed — all ready to deploy onto the OpenClaw Mac Mini.

Deploying our OpenClaw Dashboard App

This video picks up where the build left off — deploying the OpenClaw Dashboard App onto the Mac Mini, mapping a custom domain with Cloudflare, and testing the full integration with live task dispatch, skills, and recurring schedules. Two cheat sheets are included covering the Cloudflare tunnel setup and the tmux/SSH/launchd configuration.

Use-Cases

Build processes for your agent team & common use-cases.

Organizing and deploying Skills across agents

This video covers how to organize and sync a collection of custom skills across the OpenClaw Mac Mini, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork. The approach uses a Claude Plugin Marketplace repo with symlinks into OpenClaw, keeping every skill maintained in a single place while accessible everywhere.

Recurring tasks & skills for agents

This video walks through the actual skills running as recurring tasks with OpenClaw agents — including daily synthesis, intake processing, code activity capture, weekly and monthly rollups, and OpenClaw maintenance checks. These are meant as idea sparks for building out your own agent workflows.

Agent file management & syncing strategy ("BRAIN" system)

This video walks through the file system organization behind the full agent workflow — a Work folder in Dropbox with subfolders for projects, intake, content, radar, and summaries. New files land in intake and get automatically routed by agents, while published content and industry sources are captured for mining content ideas.
