Every morning I opened the same 6 tabs.
Gmail. Slack. Notion. GitHub. Calendar. Repeat.
I'm a solo developer. Context switching was costing me more time than actual work.
So I built MinorClaw — a Telegram bot you deploy in 60 seconds that connects all your tools.
How it works
You create a Telegram bot via BotFather, paste the token into MinorClaw, connect your tools, and that's it. No server. No config files. No code.
The commands I use every day
/morning_brief — pulls Gmail + Calendar + Slack and gives me an AI summary before I start work. Replaced my habit of opening 3 apps just to figure out what my day looks like.
/smart_inbox — AI summary of Gmail + Slack + GitHub together. I check this instead of opening each app separately.
/task_brain your task — AI breaks down any task, saves it to Notion, and adds it to Calendar. Replaced my manual Notion + Calendar workflow.
/launch ProductName — posts announcement to Slack + X + Notion in one command. I used this for my own launch.
/daily_standup — auto generates standup report from my activity. Saves 10 minutes every morning.
Why Telegram and not a web app
Telegram is already open on my phone and laptop all day. A web app would just be another tab. A bot lives where I already am.
What I learned building this
The hardest part wasn't the integrations — it was designing a flow simple enough that anyone could deploy in 60 seconds without touching a config file.
I'm still at 0 users but I use it myself every day and it's already saved me hours every week.
If you're drowning in tab switching, try it: https://www.minorclaw.com/
Would love feedback from anyone who tries it.
