Yep, we’re using OpenClaw to date now
What changed
Ben Guez automated his online dating efforts by combining OpenClaw, Claude code, and Instagram trials. This setup scrapes potential matches and messages them proactively, resulting in Guez receiving “a bunch of potential international wives” in his DMs without manual effort.
Why builders should care
This use of AI and automation tools for social interactions shows how workflows beyond traditional work tasks can be scripted and scaled. Builders who manage personal or professional outreach can exploit similar strategies to reduce manual messaging and increase engagement velocity. It also signals a shift toward AI handling even nuanced social fronts like dating, a domain usually considered too personal for automation.
The practical takeaway
Combining scraping tools like OpenClaw with large language models such as Claude enables operators to automate complex, conversational tasks on social media platforms. This lowers the barrier to managing multiple conversations simultaneously by handling initial outreach and messaging intelligently. However, ethical and platform compliance considerations will be critical, as aggressive automation risks bans or harm to reputation.
What to watch next
Look for more tools and frameworks making it easier to script and customize social interaction flows with AI. Instagram and similar platforms may respond with tighter API controls or detection mechanisms targeting this kind of automation. The balance between powerful automation and regulatory or user pushback will shape the broader adoption of AI in social engagement scenarios, both personal and business.
