What This Skill Does

The scanwow-sync skill acts as a bridge between your physical environment and your digital OpenClaw workspace. By configuring your iPhone's ScanWow app to communicate with your agent, you transform your mobile camera into a high-speed data ingestion device. When you snap a photo of a document, receipt, or handwritten note, the app performs high-quality OCR and instantly pushes the extracted text to your server. Your OpenClaw agent receives this data through a secure HTTP webhook, allowing it to process, summarize, or archive the information in real-time without you ever needing to copy-paste between devices.

Installation

  1. Install the skill using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brandons7/scanwow-sync.
  2. Set up an endpoint listener on your OpenClaw host. You can use the provided Python script or a custom implementation that handles POST requests.
  3. Ensure your server is accessible via a public URL (e.g., using ngrok or a Cloudflare tunnel).
  4. In the ScanWow iOS app, navigate to Settings > Secure API Export.
  5. Input your endpoint URL and secret token. Toggle the service to ON.

Use Cases

  • Expense Tracking: Scan paper receipts at a restaurant and have your agent categorize them into a monthly spreadsheet.
  • Research Digitization: Capture pages from physical books or journals and have your agent summarize them for your research library.
  • Administrative Work: Scan letters or invoices as they arrive in your mailbox, allowing the agent to flag important action items.
  • Lecture/Meeting Notes: Snap whiteboard photos to convert manual scribbles into formatted meeting minutes instantly.

Example Prompts

  • "Hey agent, summarize the last invoice I scanned into the workspace and calculate the total tax amount."
  • "Review the notes I just scanned from the whiteboard and create a bulleted task list based on the action items found."
  • "Compare the document I just scanned against the project requirements file and highlight any discrepancies."

Tips & Limitations

  • Security: Always use HTTPS with a strong, unique secret token to prevent unauthorized data injection into your workspace.
  • Data Quality: Ensure adequate lighting when scanning to maximize the 'confidence' score returned in the JSON payload. If the confidence is low, consider asking the agent to verify specific numbers against external sources.
  • Infrastructure: This skill requires a persistent, publicly reachable server. If you are behind a strict firewall, a reverse proxy is mandatory for the initial handshake between your phone and your agent.
  • File Management: The provided script saves files locally. Ensure you have adequate storage and that the agent has permission to read the generated markdown files.
