Frequently Asked Questions
Can OpenClaw track interior design project budgets automatically?
Yes — maintain a budget spreadsheet in Google Sheets or Airtable and have your agent monitor it. It can flag when categories approach budget limits and summarize spend by vendor or room.
How does OpenClaw handle confidentiality between multiple client projects?
Use separate project folders in your workspace and instruct your agent in AGENTS.md to never cross-reference client data between projects. Each project folder is siloed.
Can OpenClaw create design proposals automatically?
Your agent can draft proposal text, pull from your service menu and past project data, and populate templates. For visual presentations, it prepares the content while you handle the design layout in your preferred tool.
