In this episode, I sit down with Shabbir, an n8n community member who rebuilt Open Claw's core functionality entirely inside N8N—where you can see, customize, and control every single component. What You'll Learn: • Multi-channel messaging (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack) with persistent conversations • Tiered AI agent system (Haiku → Sonnet → Opus) for cost and speed optimization • Autonomous task management with scheduled heartbeat triggers • Document management with Google Drive integration • Email manager for reading, processing, and sending emails • Vector memory system for long-term context retention • Research agents with web search and Wikipedia integration • Live demos showing real-world usage Key Features: ✅ Open source and fully customizable ✅ Visual workflow you can actually understand ✅ Persistent memory across multiple platforms ✅ Autonomous execution without constant supervision ✅ Domain-specific tool extensions ✅ Complete template available for download Whether you're curious about Open Claw or want to build your own AI assistant with full control, this walkthrough shows you exactly how it's done. We cover the architecture, test it live, and discuss future evolution ideas including recursive agent triggers and local file management.
