Six Tips to Upgrade OpenClaw into the Ultimate Assistant!

First, set up a "Mission Control" system. After watching a blogger share and using it, your efficiency immediately skyrocketed tenfold! Mission Control is essentially a custom dashboard grown directly from OpenClaw:
You can track what it’s doing in one place, turn your workflow into tools, and upgrade memories from hidden files to a searchable system. The more you use it, the better it fits your workflow—plus, no need to write code by hand; just let OpenClaw generate it. I recommend sticking to a tech stack: Next.js + Convex (specify this at the start)!

1) Tasks Board｜Task Dashboard (Get it to start “Proactively Doing Things”)
Purpose: Make your work with OpenClaw transparent—see at a glance who’s doing what, what step they’re on, and where they’re stuck; it also allows it to see what you’re busy with, so it can proactively take on tasks and update statuses.
Instructions (copy directly to OpenClaw):
Please build a task board for us that tracks all the tasks we are working on. I should be able to see the status of every task and who the task is assigned to, me or you. Moving forward please put all tasks you work on into this board and update it in real time. Build it as a Next.js app with a Convex database.
2) Content Pipeline｜Content Workflow System (Turn “Distribution” into a system)
Purpose: Break content creation into a pipeline: Idea → Script → Thumbnail → Filming → Publish. When you get inspiration, it automatically writes scripts, generates thumbnails, and moves cards to the next column at fixed times each day, reducing your repetitive startup costs.
Instructions:
Please build me a content pipeline tool. I want it to include every stage of content creation. I should be able to edit ideas, input full scripts, and attach images if needed. Manage this pipeline with me and add wherever possible. Build it as a Next.js app with a Convex database.
3) Calendar｜Calendar (Verify if it’s really scheduled)
Purpose: Many people think Claw isn’t proactive enough, but the real issue is often “lack of visible scheduling.” The calendar acts as an audit panel for your cron jobs / scheduled tasks: Are they scheduled? When do they run? Were they successful?
Instructions:
Please build a calendar for us in Mission Control. All your scheduled tasks and cron jobs should be stored here. Whenever I ask you to schedule a task, put it in the calendar so I can verify you’re doing it correctly.

4) Memory｜Memory Bank (Turn memories into searchable assets)
Purpose: Convert each memory it generates into a document collection in the UI, with full-text search. You no longer need to recall and flip through files; instead, retrieve past decisions, preferences, strategies, and context as easily as looking up information.
Instructions:
Please build a memory screen in our Mission Control. It should list all your memories as beautiful documents. Also include a search component so I can quickly find through all our memories.

5) Team｜Team Structure (Manage OpenClaw as a company in operation)
Purpose: You will repeatedly use different capabilities like development, writing, design, research, etc. The Team page consolidates these common sub-agents into an organizational structure: roles, responsibilities, ongoing tasks, related memories, and tools—making management easier and helping it be more certain about “who to call on to do what.”
Instructions:
Please build a team structure screen. It should display you, plus all the sub-agents you regularly activate for work. If you haven’t thought about which sub-agents you use, create them and organize by roles and responsibilities. Examples include developers, writers, and designers.

6) Office｜Digital Office (Focus on Atmosphere but Enhance Operational Feel)
Purpose: More like a real-time status overview + organizational efficiency dashboard. Show each agent’s current status and task progress with avatars/workstations; who’s free, who’s stuck, who’s running processes—all visible at a glance, creating a team-leader vibe.
Instructions:
Please build a digital office screen where I can see each agent working. They should be represented by individual avatars with their own work areas and computers. When they’re working, they should be at their computers. I should be able to quickly view the status of every team member.

Suggestion: First, develop the Tasks Board, Calendar, and Memory. You’ll immediately feel how it transforms from a dialogue assistant into an operational system. Later, gradually add components based on your workflow. Mission Control will become more and more like your personal AI control panel.
