The Productivity Problem
Knowledge workers spend 28% of their workday on email and another 20% searching for information. That's nearly half your day on tasks that don't require creative thinking.
OpenClaw automates the mechanical parts of productivity so you can focus on work that actually matters. It runs 24/7, triages your inbox while you sleep, and surfaces what needs your attention.
