What you can automate
OpenClaw + OpenAI.
Here is what it does.
Connect your OpenAI account to OpenClaw and automate the work that currently requires manual effort.
Chat Completions (GPT)
Call GPT-4, GPT-3.5, or other models from workflows. Use for summarization, classification, extraction, and conversational agents.
Embeddings
Generate embeddings for search, clustering, and similarity. Build semantic search or RAG pipelines inside OpenClaw.
Function Calling
Use tool/function calling for structured outputs. Extract entities, call APIs, or drive multi-step reasoning from a single prompt.
Structured Outputs
Request JSON or structured responses. Parse and use in subsequent workflow steps without brittle regex.

How to get started
Set it up in minutes.
The free course walks you through the full OpenClaw setup. Then follow these steps to connect OpenAI.
Create an OpenAI API key
In platform.openai.com, go to API keys and create a key. Restrict scopes if needed. Never expose keys in client code.
Add OpenAI to OpenClaw
Add OpenAI as a connection with your API key. Select default model (e.g., gpt-4o). Test with a simple completion.
Add AI steps to workflows
Insert an OpenAI action in your workflow. Pass input from previous steps. Use output in conditions or downstream actions. Consider token limits.
