Drawn for a prompt job, OpenClaw's usual kind. It can also run a script with no model, or make one checked JSON call through a plugin; mixing them in one job takes add-ons.

Chloe or OpenClaw: which should I use?

Use OpenClaw for a personal assistant you talk to on many chat apps, where the model decides every move. Use Chloe for daily routines written in TypeScript, where your code runs the job and the model is asked only at the steps that need it.
