AutoClaw — Week Plan: Apr 13–17, 2026
Phase 1 ends Apr 18. Target: 13 live playbooks, 1 blog post on datopian.com, 1 HN/Reddit post.
Capacity
| Person | FTE | ~Days this week |
|---|---|---|
| Anu | 0.5 | 2.5 days |
| Luccas | 0.7 | 3.5 days |
| João | 0.7 | 3.5 days |
Playbook count target
| State | Count |
|---|---|
| Live now | 4 |
| Drafts to publish | 5 |
| New to write + publish | 4 |
| Target by Apr 18 | 13 |
Anu — 2.5 days
Priority: Upwork bidding (ongoing all week) + flagship article + distribution.
| Day | Task | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Mon | Final review of flagship article + publish on datopian.com | Blog post live |
| Mon | Submit to HN + post to r/selfhosted | 1 HN post, 1 Reddit post |
| Mon–Fri | Upwork bidding — scan daily, bid on relevant OpenClaw setup/deployment/integration jobs | Bids sent |
| Tue | LinkedIn + X posts for flagship article + any newly published playbooks | Social posts |
| Wed–Thu | Record 1 video: "Why we built AutoClaw — the story behind the playbook" (talking head or screen + narration) | 1 YouTube video |
Upwork notes: Use the demand analysis (drafts/2026-04-01-openclaw-upwork-demand/) as a guide for which job categories to target — setup, deployment, integrations, debugging. Bidding should happen daily, not in one batch. Aim for 3–5 quality bids/day. Track which job types get responses.
Anu owns distribution all week — for every playbook Luccas or João publish, Anu queues a LinkedIn/X post the same day. ~15 min per piece.
Luccas — 3.5 days
Priority: publish research already done (SMTP, Cloudflare dynamic workers), then QMD.
| Day | Task | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Mon | Write + publish: SMTP integration for OpenClaw (research done) | Playbook live |
| Mon | Record video: SMTP integration screencast | 1 YouTube video |
| Tue | Write + publish: Cloudflare dynamic workers (research done) | Playbook live |
| Tue | Record video: Cloudflare dynamic workers screencast | 1 YouTube video |
| Wed–Thu | Write + publish: QMD — how to use it for OpenClaw agents | Playbook live |
| Fri | Record video: QMD for OpenClaw screencast | 1 YouTube video |
Notes:
- SMTP and dynamic workers are already researched — writing and recording should be fast.
- OpenClaw vs Claude Code and Secure private deployment moved to backlog — deprioritised this week.
- Multi-agent workflows dropped — already published by João last week.
João — 3.5 days
Priority: LLM comparison video + docs + pricing calculator (based on completed research).
| Day | Task | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Mon–Tue | Record + publish YouTube video: LLM quality comparison for OpenClaw use cases — Haiku 4.5 as baseline vs Kimi K2.5, Gemma 4, GLM, and other Cloudflare-available models | 1 YouTube video |
| Tue–Wed | Write + publish: How to compare LLM quality for your OpenClaw use case — methodology, evaluation criteria, results. Potentially includes a reusable skill/tool for running the comparison | Playbook + skill |
| Thu | Build + publish: LLM pricing calculator — input/output token costs across models available on Cloudflare Workers AI | Calculator (web or doc) |
| Fri | Review + publish: CRM integration | Playbook live |
Notes:
- João already has the comparison research done — video and docs are documentation of existing work, not new research.
- LLM quality playbook should be practical: how to run the eval yourself, what metrics matter for agent use cases (not just benchmarks).
- Pricing calculator: could be a simple interactive table/spreadsheet or a small web tool — scope to whatever ships by Friday.
- Email + Gmail dropped — Luccas already covered it with the SMTP tutorial.
