OpenClaw is the most popular open-source personal AI assistant in the world, with over 145,000 GitHub stars. It can read your email, manage your calendar, send you morning briefings, and automate the tedious parts of your day - running 24/7, even while you sleep.
But getting started is harder than the demos make it look.
This book is the missing manual. Written for non-programmers, it covers everything from first install to advanced automations, with honest guidance on real costs ($10-$300+/month), security risks, and the practical use cases that actually stick.
13 chapters. 5 reference appendices. 36,000+ words. No jargon left unexplained.
Whether you're a busy professional drowning in email, a knowledge worker who needs better tools, or just someone curious about what personal AI can actually do today - this book gets you there.
