For each, find: pricing, rate limits, strengths and weaknesses. 
Write a comparison table in Markdown."

# News monitoring
openclaw run "Search for news about 'LLM security vulnerabilities' from 
the last 7 days. Summarize the top 5 most important findings."

# Technical research
openclaw run "Find the latest benchmarks comparing Llama 3.1 vs Mistral 7B 
for code generation tasks. Summarize key findings."

# GitHub automation
openclaw run "Fetch all open issues from github.com/myorg/myrepo

from openclaw import Agent, Config

# Create a configured agent

# Run a task programmatically
result = agent.run("Summarize the content of README.md in 3 bullet points")

print(result.output)

print(f"Tools used: {', '.join(result.tools_used)}")

# Full project setup
openclaw run "Set up a new FastAPI project called 'myapi':
1. Create the directory structure
2. Write a basic FastAPI app with a /health endpoint
3. Create requirements.txt
4. Create a Dockerfile
5. Create a README with setup instructions"

# Daily standup automation
openclaw run "Read my git log from the last 24 hours (git log --since='24 hours ago'),
summarize what I worked on, and write a standup message to standup.txt"

# Deployment checklist
openclaw run "Run all tests with pytest, check code coverage is above 80%,
lint with ruff, and if all pass, create a file READY_TO_DEPLOY.txt with 
the current timestamp and test summary."
