Automate Email & Slack Digests With an AI Agent

Never Start Your Day Buried in Unread Messages Again
Your AI agent reads your inbox every morning, summarizes key emails, creates tasks from action items, and posts a clean digest to Slack — all before your first coffee.
How It Works
A scheduled cron job triggers your OpenClaw agent at the time you choose. The agent connects to Gmail via the email skill, scans your latest messages, filters out noise, extracts action items, and sends a formatted summary to your Slack channel. Everything gets stored in Supabase or Notion for later reference.
Real-World Example
@DhruvalGolakiya built exactly this setup — Gmail + Supabase + Slack running on a daily morning cron. He also added a macOS menu bar app to check his summary on demand.
"Finally done — added supabase + gmail skills to OpenClaw with a daily morning cron. It now reads my first 10 emails, summarizes everything, creates todos, sends them to Slack, and stores all of it in Supabase."

Why It Matters
The average knowledge worker spends 28% of their workweek managing email. An automated digest cuts that to 30 seconds of scanning. With StartClaw, this runs 24/7 whether you're awake or not — no server to maintain, no API keys to manage.
