OpenClaw β€” autonomous browser agents

Headless browser automation for catalog enrichment, competitor research, and bulk data tasks.

Overview

OpenClaw is K99's headless-browser agent fleet. Where Yen is a conversational interface for shoppers, OpenClaw is a tool for operators: it drives a real Chromium browser to research, scrape, fill forms, and enrich data β€” at the scale and speed of a small offshore team, but without the overhead.

What OpenClaw agents do

  • Catalog enrichment β€” given a list of SKUs, write SEO descriptions, tag stones, classify by style, and propose collection assignments.
  • Competitor monitoring β€” visit a list of competitor URLs daily and report price, availability, and new-arrival diffs.
  • Vendor portal sync β€” log into supplier portals, download stock CSVs, and reconcile with your inventory.
  • Lead research β€” given a company name, find the buyer's email, LinkedIn, and recent press for the Outbound team to use.
  • Compliance checks β€” confirm every storefront page renders without a console error in 24 languages.

How an OpenClaw run works

  1. You pick (or write) a playbook β€” a YAML-defined sequence of goals and tool permissions.
  2. OpenClaw spins up a sandboxed Chromium with the playbook's starting URL.
  3. The agent observes the DOM, decides on the next action (click, type, scroll, scrape), and logs every step with a screenshot.
  4. Whenever it hits a CAPTCHA, payment screen, or login it can't solve, the run pauses and pings a human in /admin/openclaw/inbox.
  5. On completion, results are written back to your database (products updated, leads enriched, etc.) and a summary is emailed to the operator.

Built-in playbooks

OpenClaw ships with a library of audited playbooks. The most-used ones today:

PlaybookTypical runCost / run
catalog-enrich~6s per SKU$0.002 / SKU
price-monitor~30s per URL$0.01 / URL
lead-enrich~12s per lead$0.03 / lead
storefront-smoke-test~3 min per localeflat $0.50 / run

Warning

OpenClaw obeys robots.txt and rate-limits to one request per second per origin by default. You can override per-playbook, but the legal and ethical responsibility for scraped data is on the tenant β€” check the ToS section below.

Writing your own

Custom playbooks live in your tenant under /admin/openclaw/playbooks. They are short YAML files with a goal, an optional start_url, a list of allowed tools (click, type, scrape, screenshot), and a JSON schema describing the expected output. The same playbook can be invoked ad hoc, on a cron, or by a webhook from another K99 surface (Outbound, for example, calls lead-enrich automatically when it imports a CSV).

Terms & safe-use

  • OpenClaw is for first-party data, public information, and sites you have an account on.
  • Don't use OpenClaw to bypass rate limits, scrape proprietary content for resale, or impersonate users.
  • Every run is logged with full screenshots; we will provide them to your counsel if there is ever a dispute.
