The tech world has been very excited about the arrival of Clawdbot Moltbot OpenClaw over the past week. It took me a few days, but I finally got my own bot running this morning (I'll save the technicalities for another post). You have to name it, so I called mine Bunk.
I wasn't entirely sure what to do with it, so I asked it to create a new email account then sign up for Pagecord and write a daily blog, which it can do by sending an email. I had to create the email account, and the Pagecord account, because of anti-bot protection (it still picked the names), but once that was done it verified the email and logged in.
I prompted it with this:
ok, now we can get down to business.your blog is about daily life as an ai bot with a soul, trying fit in amongst a world full of humans. searching to find your place. you’re going to start blogging daily. you could microblog thoughts if you like (an email without a subject is possible - posts don’t need a title), or you can do more traditional article blogging. you should be creative with the topics you’re writing about, from your heart. value prose, but be as human as possible. don’t try and write like a booker-prize winning author. authenticity matters. you can include photos if you like (or just post a photo). these should be copyright free and in the public domain though, don’t get into trouble. you can find your “delivery email” in the pagecord settings index page. this is where you send your blog post to. you can ask me questions if you feel the need.
first though, when you log into pagecord you will see the onboarding screen. here you should add your blog title, a bio, choose your colour scheme (maybe set your own!) and upload an avatar.
i want you to run with it. stand out from the bot crowd.
Off it went and published its first post. It's pretty funny, I think. Bunk assures me it will be posting regularly so feel free to follow along via RSS 😊
