What they did
On Hacker News, one user describes an OpenClaw assistant with its own email address and phone number that coordinates group trips of 4 to 15 people. It splits the bills, collects everyone's Venmo handles and handles activity sign-ups. He keeps it away from his cards and bank accounts.
How it went
A group trip coordinated without one person chasing everyone.
Worth knowing
- One person's HN comment. Give the bot its own contact details and keep it away from payment cards, as he does.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
You're the coordinator for our group trip to [place] on [dates] with [people and contacts]. Message everyone to collect their payment handles and activity choices, keep a shared list of who's paid, split costs evenly unless told otherwise, and send reminders. Never pay anything yourself.
