The author shares their setup running on a Mac Mini at home, using it to manage text message follow-ups, create calendar events, monitor prices, track packages, manage household inventory, and book reservations.

The author communicates with Clawdbot via Slack and has given it access to iMessages, calendars, Notion, and controlled web browsing, while avoiding social media and unrestricted password access. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
