30 Days of OpenClaw: One Workflow a Day to Transform Your Business
The idea is dead simple: every day, pick one thing in your business, hand it to your AI agent, and make it better. Do that for 30 days straight. Here's how we're doing it — and how you can start today.
The Challenge
Alex Finn put it best on his recent livestream, talking about how to actually make progress with AI tools instead of just collecting them:
"Every day you go into your OpenClaw and you find one workflow you can implement that makes you a little bit better, one workflow you can implement that makes you a little faster, more efficient. And then you just do that every single day. You move the ball forward a little bit more every single day."
— Alex Finn, LIVE: Anthropic BANS OpenClaw (71:46)
This isn't about building something massive overnight. It's about compounding. If you improve one workflow by even 10% per day, after 30 days you've transformed how you work.
We're taking this challenge literally at Blogcast.io. Every day for the next 30 days, we're picking one workflow in our product — from content ingestion to voice synthesis to feed delivery — and making it better with our AI agent. We'll document every single day.
Why This Works
Most people approach AI tools one of two ways: they either try to automate everything at once (and get overwhelmed), or they use AI for the same three things forever (chatbot, summarizer, code helper) and never expand.
The "one workflow a day" approach avoids both traps:
- It's scoped. One thing. Not ten. You can go deep.
- It compounds. Day 15 builds on Day 1-14.
- It forces exploration. You run out of obvious stuff by Day 5, and that's when it gets interesting.
- It's measurable. Did it get better? Yes or no.
Our 30-Day Plan (Building Blogcast.io in Public)
Here's what our first week looks like. We'll update this post daily as we go.
Day 1 — Feed Discovery
Can the AI agent find RSS feeds from any URL you throw at it? We tested Cloudflare's blog, Ars Technica, YouTube channels, Substacks, and sites with no RSS at all. Result: it now handles all of them, including falling back to Claude for HTML scraping when there's no feed.
Day 2 — Episode Generation Pipeline
End-to-end: article goes in, podcast episode comes out. We timed it, found bottlenecks in the content extraction step, and cut generation time by 40%. A 2,000-word article now becomes a 6-minute podcast in under 3 minutes.
Day 3 — The Personal RSS Feed
Your generated episodes need to show up in your podcast app automatically. We verified the iTunes-compatible RSS feed, tested it in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Pocket Casts. Fixed namespace issues and made sure new episodes appear within minutes of generation.
Day 4 — Navigation & First Impressions
The nav bar was a mess — different on every page, pricing front and center (why?), important stuff buried in a dropdown. We standardized it across all 15 pages: Listen Now first, Leaderboard second, pricing hidden. Took 3 minutes to explain to the agent, 3 minutes for it to fix every page.
Day 5 — Content Moderation
Before we let anyone generate a podcast from any URL, we need to make sure the content is appropriate. Added Claude Haiku as a fast moderation gate at submission time — adds less than 2 seconds and catches the obvious stuff.
Day 6 — SEO Everywhere
Went through every page: title tags, meta descriptions, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD structured data. The agent audited all 12 public pages and fixed everything in one pass. Sitemap updated. Schema markup added.
Day 7 — Leaderboard & Social Proof
Added pagination, date filtering, and type routing to the leaderboard API. Now you can see top episodes this week, top voices this month, top creators of all time. It makes the product feel alive.
Days 8-30 coming soon. Sign up to follow along.
How to Do This Yourself
You don't need to be building a podcast platform. This works for any business, any product, any workflow. Here's the framework:
- Pick one thing that annoys you. Something you do manually, something that's slow, something that's broken. Just one.
- Describe it to your AI agent. "Here's what I do. Here's what I want. Make it better." Be specific about the current state and the desired state.
- Let the agent work. Whether it's OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, or whatever you use — give it the context and let it rip.
- Verify and ship. Check the work, deploy it, move on. Don't over-iterate. Good enough today beats perfect never.
- Document what changed. Write it down. Even one sentence. Compounding only works if you remember what you've compounded.
The Meta-Lesson
The real insight isn't about AI. It's about momentum. Alex's point was bigger than OpenClaw — it's about escaping inertia. Most people don't fail because they lack tools. They fail because they don't move the ball forward every single day.
AI just makes each day's push dramatically more powerful. What used to take a developer a week — standardizing a nav bar across 15 pages, adding structured data to every page, building an API endpoint with pagination — now takes an agent 3 minutes.
That means your "one thing a day" can actually be meaningful. Not "I changed a button color." More like "I rebuilt my entire content moderation pipeline" or "I added real-time analytics to every page."
30 days of that? You've transformed your product.
