Try OpenClaw for sending emails and booking a flight
The author spent a weekend, about $15 and over a million tokens, to get OpenClaw to send two emails; it couldn't book a flight because it couldn't connect to its browser.
- What They Did
- The author installed OpenClaw, the open-source agent that runs on your own machine, and spent about three hours asking it to send emails and book a Ryanair flight. The post gives few mechanics. It says the agent sent two emails. For the flight, it could not connect to its own built-in browser.
- How It Went
- About $15 and over a million tokens produced two sent emails, roughly $7.50 each. The Ryanair booking failed outright. The rest of the post is opinion about where agents are heading.
- Worth Knowing
- Expect heavy token use: a million-plus tokens for two emails. Check that the built-in browser connects before you count on any web task like booking a flight.

Using my connected [Gmail/email account], send an email to [recipient] with the subject [subject] and this message: [message]. Show me the final draft and wait for my OK before sending. Then tell me exactly what happened, including any errors or steps you could not complete, and keep a running count of tokens used so I can watch the cost.
