Field Manual · Issue №01 · On the autonomous firm
WorkClaw lives in Slack and runs the work between meetings: reading the transcript, creating the tasks, assigning the owners, and drafting the follow-up, without being asked.
The ops layer a boutique can't afford to hire, with no headcount added. The autonomy of OpenClaw, the governance your clients can trust.

WorkClaw watches your calls. The moment a meeting ends, it reads the transcript, extracts every commitment, creates the tasks, and drafts the follow-up. No @mention required.

AI in the systems that matter, with controls.
* One claw, every desk. The same governed agent serves each profile, scoped to the tools and permissions that team already trusts.
§ Why now
№ 01
For three years, AI could draft. Now it can act: write code, create tasks, send follow-ups, manage context across tools. The capability leap happened. Most firms are still treating it like a drafting tool.
№ 02
WorkClaw builds institutional memory with every meeting. Every commitment tracked, every pattern learned. That advantage compounds. A firm that starts today has 12 months of organizational intelligence before a competitor gets started.
№ 03
Executives know they need this. What stops them isn't the tool. It's the question of what an AI agent does with their data, their Slack, their email. WorkClaw was built to answer that question on day one.
§ Inventory of capabilities
№ 01 · HEARTBEAT
WorkClaw's heartbeat fires every thirty minutes. When it finds a new Otter or Granola recording, it reads the full transcript, extracts every commitment, creates Asana tasks with owners and due dates, and drafts the follow-up email, before anyone opens their inbox.

Need a feature built? WorkClaw writes the code, creates branches, runs tests, and submits pull requests. Human approval required before merge.
№ 03
Pulls context from Slack threads, Asana tasks, GitHub PRs, Google Drive, and Otter transcripts before acting. One question, every source.
№ 04
Runs every thirty minutes, proactively checking for new meetings, overdue tasks, and open commitments. It acts; you review.
№ 05
Every decision, every commitment, every "why did we do that?", answerable in seconds. Institutional memory that doesn't walk out the door.
№ 06
Predicts how key stakeholders will react before you send that proposal. Tone, concerns, suggested adjustments, with confidence scoring.
№ 07
Every outbound action (email, PR, task) is logged and has a five-minute undo window. Full audit trail in Slack and Asana.
§ Operating procedure
01
Otter or Granola records your call. WorkClaw's heartbeat fires automatically. No @mention, no setup.
02
Scans the full transcript for every commitment, decision, and action item. Cross-references Asana and Slack for context.
03
Auto-creates tasks in Asana with owners, due dates, and full context. Drafts the meeting follow-up email, ready to send.
04
Review everything in Slack. One click to send the follow-up, confirm the tasks. Your firm moves forward, while you were still in the meeting.
* Each outbound action has a five-minute undo window. Approval thresholds are configurable per channel and per actor.
§ Safety apparatus
The fear of open AI agents is real: shell access, autonomous actions, your data on someone else's infrastructure. WorkClaw gives you all the power, scoped, governed, and audited so your InfoSec team signs off on day one.
CTRL № 01
Every command runs in an isolated container. Strict process limits, filesystem restrictions, no lateral movement possible.
CTRL № 02
Deny-by-default networking. Only allowlisted endpoints are reachable. Every outbound action has a five-minute undo window.
CTRL № 03
Root-owned, hash-pinned config that cannot be modified at runtime. Skill changes require approval. Auditor-ready from day one.
CTRL № 04
Critical actions require explicit human approval. PRs need review before merge. Follow-ups need confirmation before send. You decide.
CTRL № 05
Every action logged to Slack and Asana with full provenance. Who asked, what changed, when, and why, always queryable.
CTRL № 06
Deployed in your Azure VNet with managed identity. Secrets managed through Azure Key Vault, with zero secrets in code. You own the infrastructure.
“$999/month per seat, less than 8% of a senior associate's monthly cost. WorkClaw reclaims one partner-hour every day; across a ten-person firm that compounds to over half a million dollars of reclaimed capacity each year.”
