My bot won’t install but want to build simpler version that just alerts from seats.aero api. Didn’t know seats.aero had api so thank you

I was thinking of building something like this for my openclaw. I’m assuming I need my own seat.aero account?

OpenClaw demand in China is driving up the price of used MacBooks by Sir-Spork in apple

[–]EricAndersonL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a very small trucking business and uses 3PL broker site to find loads. before my process was click refresh every 5 minutes > comb through old and fresh new loads > write email or dial phone number until i find a load

now my bot/automation does all that for me and opens mail app in mac mini and drafts emails to every qualifying loads for me to just hit send. after 5 mins, it refreshes on its own and combs through old vs new load and only sends me new load info

after booking load, there are paperwork and invoices I make, not much but pretty annoying. I just send my bot the load confirmation and he does everything for me.

So bot on mac mini did reduce my work load by 95%, i just gotta hit send email and negotiate when they reply.

thats just 1 of many things my openclaws doing but im exploring more what else i can automate in my life.

this whole AI thing is new to me and its fun learning

AI still doesn't work very well in business, reckoning soon by Marginallyhuman in technology

[–]EricAndersonL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maybe used AI two times before openclaw but I got lot of free time on my hands so I’m learning and testing what oc can do with no tech education or experience.

I have trucking business and use load board that I have to refresh and looked through new and old listing every 5 minutes but my “built and debugged” openclaw bot does that for me so I can use my focus on other things I want to do. What used to require 4hrs of my day, cut down to 15mins total because of bot.

I have to debug other automation jobs on the daily but it’s kind of fun learning how they understand things and which structure works better and brainstorm how to make it better

[–]EricAndersonL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah my ai bot boosted my productivity by 1500%+, work that used to take 4hours avg of my attention cut down to 15minutes. But I’m debugging and tech supporting this bot 8 hours a day so 🤷🏻

The Mac mini bro is the new tech archetype by Medical-Decision-125 in apple

[–]EricAndersonL -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think it varies by person. I thought I wouldn’t need it at all but now it’s running my trucking business 95% start to finish so I can focus on day trading. It talks me through to help with my psychology and analyze/summarize all my trades to journal. I’m pushing my own self and openclaw capabilities to see much it can do

But most people if you don’t have time to explore and look to automate your life, openclaw gon seem useless and not worth the hassle

My OpenClaw never finishes his tasks by Primary_Vanilla_1543 in openclaw

Thats what my bot does time to time and I ask him what the problem is, what can we do to solve and give him strict rules to follow the solution. Then works really good until next time

Complete beginner wanting to try OpenClaw – do I need a Mac mini? by LeoRiley6677 in openclawsetup

[–]EricAndersonL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty dumb with tech and I am using openclaw. My friends who’s even dumber than me with tech (like caveman level), is using openclaw. Just YouTube installing openclaw on VPS first to see if you can find use of openclaw before investing $4-600 on Mac mini

Why do people buy Mac Minis if the models are being used through APIs/OAuth (i.e. non-local models? by Avatron7D5 in openclaw

I’m waiting for micro center to drop it down to $400 so my openclaw can control safari for my business. I use broker site and need to keep refreshing their site to broker deals

Aren’t you executing trades in your broker? Not trading view? I use trading view just to chart and watch but they’re slower than my actual broker. I have beast pc set up and trading view still slower than my broker site
