An OpenClaw system overview

Berman introduces his personal setup and a diagram of its components. He lists the models and workflows he uses.

OpenClaw models and capabilities
DIAPOSITIVA 1 / 2OpenClaw models and capabilitiesThe system diagram shows the core, model providers, and several research and business capabilities.

I have put a great deal of my life on this machine and spent countless hours over the last few weeks exploring what I can do with OpenClaw. Here is a high-level overview of my setup. It looks complicated, but the diagram brings together how I talk to the system and the information and workflows connected to it.

The system includes my knowledge base, food journal, scheduled cron updates, and video research. I use several models: Anthropic’s Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, plus Google Gemini for a range of tasks. The diagram also shows interfaces, other model services, skills, a data layer, and external services.

I use OpenClaw as a personal CRM and knowledge base, as well as for a video idea pipeline, X/Twitter research, and business meta-analysis. I apply a Humanizer skill to make generated text sound more human, with no em dashes. I have also standardized a way to create a hybrid database and use it across several skills.
