Errand Ai

What This Skill Does

The ErrandAI skill by chloepark85 transforms your OpenClaw AI assistant into a bridge between your digital requests and the physical world. By integrating with the ErrandAI decentralized marketplace, this tool allows you to delegate real-world tasks to a global network of human workers. Whether you need a specific item checked at a brick-and-mortar retail location, a photo of a menu, or on-site documentation, the AI handles the posting, tracking, and payment processes automatically. It utilizes the USDC stablecoin to facilitate secure, borderless micro-payments, ensuring workers are compensated immediately upon your approval of their submitted work.

Installation

To get started, ensure you have OpenClaw v1.0.0 or higher installed. You can install the skill directly via the command line using 'openclaw skill install errand-ai'. For manual setup, download the repository files into your '/.openclaw/skills/' directory. You must obtain an API key from 'errand.be/dashboard' and set it as an environment variable named 'ERRANDAI_API_KEY'. Finally, verify your configuration in '/.openclaw/config.yaml' to set your default rewards and deadlines, then enable the skill with 'openclaw skill enable errand-ai'.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for digital nomads, researchers, and busy professionals. You can use it to verify stock availability in remote cities before traveling, gather local pricing data for competitive analysis, or document physical environments for project planning. Because the platform is global, location is never a barrier; you can hire local assistance in any major city around the world simply by typing a request to your OpenClaw agent.

Example Prompts

1. "Post an errand to check if the new coffee shop on 5th Ave has outdoor seating, offer $15 for this."
2. "Show me the current status of my errand err_abc123 and see if there are any new submissions."
3. "Approve submission sub_987654 for the store audit task; everything looks correct."

Tips & Limitations

When posting errands, be as specific as possible regarding the location and the required proof of completion (e.g., photos or text confirmation). Remember that you are interacting with human workers; clear instructions reduce the likelihood of rejections. The skill currently defaults to a 24-hour deadline and a $15 reward; ensure you adjust these in your config file if your tasks are urgent or require more significant effort. Note that payments are final upon approval, so always review submitted media carefully before releasing USDC funds.
