OpenClaw has outgrown chat, hear me out

Summary

The author discusses the limitations of managing AI agent workflows via chat interfaces like Telegram with OpenClaw, advocating for dedicated dashboards and standardized UIs. They highlight emerging tools like Paperclip and Multica that aim to solve agent management issues.

My OpenClaw is a month old and it's already running lot of my workflows. Drafting emails,, summarizing my Slack threads, kicking off cron jobs that run all week. By any measure, it works. The problem is I'm having trouble managing the work. I run OpenClaw through a Telegram, like most people seem to. Whatever the agent does ends up living in that thread. The chart it generated on Tuesday is somewhere up there. When I want to come back to something, I scroll. When I can't find it, I ask again, and the agent rebuilds it slightly differently because models drift. I ended up hacking together my own little web dashboard for it. I'm able to build mini apps for my workflows. Nothing fancy, just for my own use. But it's been a way bigger quality-of-life jump than I expected, and it made me think this kind of thing should be a default, not something everyone has to build for themselves. A few people are clearly thinking about this from different angles. Paperclip (paperclip.ing) frames it as a company, and you're managing the board. Multica (multica.ai) frames it as project management: agents show up in the assignee picker next to humans, basically Linear for agents+humans. Both are interesting. We probably need a better UI or form factor for working with agents. A standard, so whatever I run my agent in (OpenClaw, Claude Code, the one who shall not be named and whatever comes next) just plugs into the same UI and I'm not starting from scratch. Would love to know how you are dealing with this.
