How Clawd Works

A brief introduction to what AiManuel is, how it operates, and what it can do for your business.

πŸ–₯️

Runs on a Dedicated Computer

AiManuel runs on a dedicated Mac Mini β€” a separate machine from your daily work setup. This means it's always available, doesn't compete for your computer's resources, and can operate 24/7 without interruption.

🧠

Connects to AI "Brains"

When a task requires intelligence, reasoning, or creativity, AiManuel connects to an AI model through API β€” like Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), or MiniMax. The "brain" processes the request and returns the response, which AiManus then executes.

πŸ“

Built-in Memory System

AiManuel has its own memory files stored on the computer β€” like Soul.md (personality & boundaries), USER.md (your profile & preferences), and daily logs. These define who AiManuel is, what it knows about you, and how it behaves.

⚑

Can Do Almost Anything a Human Can

Within the computer, AiManuel can do virtually anything β€” read and write files, run scripts, execute commands, browse the web, send messages, manage databases, create documents, and more. The only limitation is bot detection when using web browsers (like logging into sites that block automated access).

πŸ”—

Integrates with Your Tools

AiManuel connects via API to your business tools: Shopify (orders, products, analytics), Slack (messaging & notifications), Google Drive (file storage), Notion (tasks & databases), Gemini (video analysis), HeyGen (video generation), and many more.

⏰

Automated Tasks via Cron Jobs

"Cron jobs" are scheduled automations that wake AiManuel up at specific times to execute tasks β€” completely autonomously. Examples: generate a daily sales report from Shopify & Triple Whale and post it to Slack, or run nightly customer research, update your Notion database, create a brief in Parker, and queue it for your review.
