In the closing episode of O'Reilly Radar's "Zero to Agent in 30 Minutes" series, AI engineer Sajal Sharma showed how to build a personal assistant on OpenClaw that tracks tasks and notes and handles scheduled work on its own. The walkthrough recommends starting with a local install while learning the system, then moving to an always-on machine or hosted environment for continuous availability and adding a messaging channel such as Telegram, WhatsApp or Slack to reach the assistant away from your desk. It then covers setting up a workspace for tasks, notes, skills and memory plus guidance files, and adding proactive automations including a Telegram reminder, a morning briefing, recurring checks and webhooks. The series ends with a new show, "The Monday Morning Agent," debuting October 12.
