Exa Web Research Monitor with OpenClaw
The brief you write is the entire control surface. It decides what is kept, what is discarded and what leads the message, and nothing else in the workflow argues with it. That suits an approachable harness like OpenClaw, where the interesting work sits in the words you write rather than in configuring an agent, and the one rule outside your brief is that it never touches a monitor in Exa.
Watch it work before it's live
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.
Managed vector search: funding, launches, benchmarks
The 06:00 run returns 14 new results. Among them a Seoul startup announcing a 22 million dollar Series A with three named customers, an independent benchmark putting four providers side by side on recall and cost per million queries, two syndicated rewrites of a launch this monitor already carried on Tuesday, and an arXiv paper on quantisation that several of the other results cite.
Set up in minutes
Using this template drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:
Connect Exa
One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.
Watch brief
The subjects these monitors cover and what makes a result worth your time: the companies, technologies and rules you follow, the angle you read them from, and what you already consider noise. This is the only test a result is put through.

Why OpenClaw for this agent
The watch list stays untouchable
No create, pause, edit or delete operation is wired in. Whoever owns the queries in Exa keeps owning them, and nothing broadens a search overnight without a person deciding to.
Written in sentences, not settings
The subjects you follow, the angle you read them from, and what you already call noise. A researcher can put that down in ten minutes without opening anything technical.
Before you fork
Who ends up maintaining the brief once the novelty wears off?
Whoever reads the digest, which is the honest answer rather than a comfortable one. The brief needs revisiting when your market moves, and the discard counts tell you when: rising drops usually mean the world shifted around a fixed brief. Teams that leave it alone for a quarter tend to find the digest slowly stops matching what they care about.
