I see some creative usage from other people for OpenClaw. My usage basically boiled down to commanding it via WhatsApp. What I mostly used the agent was mundane tasks like fetching information, creating documents for my work etc. Being able to schedule something is great, although OpenClaw quickly got confused about the cron tasks it had. I switched to ZeroClaw as the project is much smaller in terms of features and lines of code so I felt it was much more manageable.

But I realised everything I needed was cron + some basic tools to create and handle local documents + API access. The last is still a pain to manage so I built my own tool to work as an auth layer https://ohita.tech/ Basically it handles all the token refreshing, rate limiting etc. so when the scheduled task triggers it does not immediately fail because API auth failed.

Nice that you went and built your own auth layer. Atmita (atmita.com) is API-first so you can hit any API directly, with managed OAuth to ~1000 services layered on top for convenience. Cloud-hosted, so the auth/refresh plumbing isn't your problem.
