About

I help founders and solopreneurs get OpenClaw set up — securely. OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own machine — it can handle email, calendar, research, content repurposing, CRM updates, and more. It's powerful, but it's not plug-and-play. Most people take 8+ hours to get it working. Some never do. I handle the hard parts: • Secure VPS setup (Tailscale, locked-down access) • Finding the right workflow to automate first • Building it until it works reliably The result: a specific job that used to eat your time now runs on autopilot. Examples I've built for clients: • Coaching call recordings → transcriptions → marketing copy • Business card photos → research → CRM entry • Pre-meeting briefs (LinkedIn, company profile, earnings) I've been contributing to OpenClaw since week 1. Previously spent 10+ years building and managing engineering teams — wrote a book about it (The Superstruct Manifesto). If you've been curious about OpenClaw but haven't taken the leap, let's talk. → Free discovery call: meet.davidguttman.com/openclaw-discovery
