About this video
Here's a second IronClaw tip, and this one is fun. I set up a routine that pulls every Massachusetts pro sports score every morning, along with the outcomes and any related news like trades.
What I want you to watch is the review step. IronClaw drafts the automation and hands it back for approval before anything runs. It even asked me whether I wanted minor league teams included rather than guessing. I said no, told it 9am Eastern, added the news summary, and it rebuilt the routine around that. The human in the loop stays in the loop.
You can also see the agent's thought process as it works, including every tool call it makes to assemble the plan. Some of these take several passes, and watching that happen tells you a lot about whether the thing actually understood you.
The automation fires wherever you want it. I used the web interface here, but connect Telegram or Slack and it lands there instead, which is what you want when you're checking your phone over coffee.
Once you connect other services and APIs, the same pattern builds any routine you want, hourly, daily, whatever fits.

Nice thing about ironclaw is that you can start to see the actual thought process that it's going through and get a sense of what it's actually doing in the background.

So, again, I can review that human in the loop piece is still there to review, make sure that it's doing what I want. It gave me a couple things that I should be aware of. Uh just so I'm okay with that. And it wants me to know if anything should be tweaked, stuff like that. I can then go check my automations and I can see I have one scheduled. If I go down, there it is. Massachusetts
