SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of losing quick ideas and short activity logs when you don’t have time to write them down properly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Webhook-based capture to OpenClaw: Sends your extracted message to the user’s OpenClaw capture inbox so it’s stored for later.
  • Trigger-phrase stripping: Removes capture phrases (like “记录一下”, “capture this”, “log this”) so only the core content is saved.
  • Language preservation: Keeps the user’s original language in the captured message (Chinese stays Chinese, English stays English).
  • Use case: “记录一下:刚跑完步” becomes a short “刚跑完步” capture in OpenClaw, preserving context without extra formatting.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant “记录一下:刚跑完步” to send the capture to your OpenClaw inbox.
