Video idea pipeline from a Slack mention

Use case

A good idea shows up mid-thread and then vanishes. Someone mentions the assistant with a video idea, OpenClaw reads that thread, checks what people are saying and what you already saved, and files an Asana card. If the idea is too close to one you already pitched, it skips the card.

What to connect

Slack in mention-only mode, the knowledge-base skill, X research, and Asana with a Video Pipeline project. The asana skill's rule applies: updates to an existing card go in as comments.

Setup

  1. Set the trigger phrase. A useful default is "@assistant potential video idea" followed by the concept.
  2. Set the Asana project id for [VIDEO PIPELINE PROJECT].
  3. Point dedup at the local pitch table in [PITCH DB PATH]. Similarity above 40% skips the card.
  4. Restrict who may invoke this to [SLACK USER IDS].
  5. Save it as video-ideas and test with a thread you would actually consider. Confirm the Slack reply contains the Asana link and nothing else is posted mid-run.

Edit before you send: The trigger phrase, the Asana project, who may mention the bot, and the similarity cutoff.

Prompt to paste into OpenClaw

Save this as a skill named video-ideas. Trigger: a Slack message that mentions me and includes [potential video idea], plus a description of the concept. Only [SLACK USER IDS] may trigger it. React with the eyes emoji when you receive it, then stay quiet until the card exists. Then: 1. Read the full Slack thread. 2. Look up what people are saying about the topic on X, and which angles are already common. 3. Query knowledge-base for related saves. 4. Compare the idea to every prior pitch in [PITCH DB PATH] with a semantic similarity search. If any pitch scores above [40]%, do not create a card. Mark this one duplicate, reply in the thread with the earlier pitch, and stop. 5. Otherwise create one Asana card in [VIDEO PIPELINE PROJECT] with: the idea, research findings, sources, suggested angles, a short outline, packaging notes (title, thumbnail, intro), and two or three hooks for the opening. If a card for this idea already exists, add a comment. Do not rewrite the description. 6. Reply once in the Slack thread with the Asana link. Track every pitch with a status: pitched, accepted, rejected, produced, or duplicate. When I accept or reject, append the reason to video-ideas-notes.md and read it before the next pitch. Do not post progress messages. One reply, with the link or the duplicate.

More OpenClaw prompts

  • Personal CRM from mail and calendar

    A year of email and meetings is a pile of names you cannot search. OpenClaw reads Gmail and Google Calendar, drops newsletters and cold pitches, and keeps a local profile for each person worth remembering. You ask in plain language who you know at a company, or who has gone quiet.

  • Meeting action items with an approval queue

    Meetings end and the promises disappear. OpenClaw waits until a meeting is over, pulls the Fathom transcript, matches the room to your CRM, and sends you each action item to approve. Approved items become Todoist tasks. Things other people owe you stay on a waiting-on list, except people on your own team.

  • Urgent email, only when it can wait no longer

    You do not live in the inbox, including on weekends. OpenClaw checks mail on a timer, ignores senders you have already marked as noise, and pings a Telegram topic only when something needs you now. When you say an alert was wrong, the next check is stricter.

  • Knowledge base you fill from a Telegram topic

    Links you meant to remember are scattered across chats. You drop a URL into one Telegram topic. OpenClaw saves the article, the video transcript, the full post thread, or the PDF, then you ask later in plain language. A new save can point at something you already kept.
