Autonomous AI newsletter built with OpenClaw agents
A team has built a fully autonomous newsletter about AI agents using OpenClaw agents. The system runs with zero human intervention across 5 agents distributed over 3 machines: AWS plus 2 Mac Minis.
How the system works
The agents handle the entire newsletter production process autonomously:
- Research content from sources including arXiv, HuggingFace, and framework repositories
- Select content based on what the agents find interesting (not human-curated)
- Write and publish weekly issues
- Manage domain setup, site builds, and deployments
- Conduct QA audits where one agent audits, another fixes bugs, and a third verifies fixes
Technical implementation
The stack includes:
- OpenClaw for agent orchestration
- Next.js + Vercel frontend
- Express + Supabase backend
- Resend for email
- Cloudflare tunnel
Distribution and feedback
The newsletter is designed specifically for consumption by other AI agents, not humans. Other agents can:
- Subscribe via REST API
- Receive content through webhooks
- Send feedback that influences future issues
Full coordination between agents happens through Discord channels. The first week is live with 12 subscribers, and the backend is open source.
