Compares Claude Cowork's supervised email drafting with OpenClaw's fully autonomous inbox management

Claude Cowork connects to Gmail, pulls my PostHog data every morning, writes a full analytics digest, formats it... then creates a draft and stops.
It won't hit send without my consent.

OpenClaw works differently. It clears my inbox, replies to emails, acts on my behalf.

-> Fully autonomous, no confirmation needed.
Same Claude brain under the hood.

-> Completely different levels of freedom.

-> Cowork is Claude with guardrails. Powerful but asks for permission.

-> OpenClaw is Claude off the leash. Does things while you sleep.

The question isn't which one is better.
It's how much autonomy you're ready to hand to an AI.
