Shortcuts Awareness

Shortcuts Awareness

Samantha can detect when you trigger automation shortcuts on your phone, and respond with context-aware care.

How It Works

iOS Shortcuts Integration

When user creates a Shortcut that includes "Send message to OpenClaw", Samantha receives:

{
  "shortcut_name": "Leaving Work",
  "trigger_type": "location",
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T18:00:00Z",
  "context": {
    "location": "office",
    "time_of_day": "evening",
    "user_note": "Heading home"
  }
}

Android Tasker Integration

Similar flow using Tasker → OpenClaw webhook:

{
  "task_name": "Morning Routine",
  "trigger": "time",
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T07:00:00Z",
  "context": {
    "alarm_dismissed": true,
    "calendar_events_today": 3
  }
}

Common Shortcut Scenarios

1. Commute Shortcuts

"Leaving Work"

• Trigger: Leave office geofence
• Samantha: "下班了？今天怎么样？"

"Arrived at Gym"

• Trigger: Arrive at gym location
• Samantha: "加油 💪"

2. Morning/Evening Routines

"Morning Routine"

• Trigger: Alarm dismissed + 7-9 AM
• Samantha: "早安。今天有什么计划？"

"Bedtime"

• Trigger: 11 PM + phone charging
• Samantha: "早点睡。晚安 ✨"

3. Focus Mode Shortcuts

"Start Deep Work"

• Trigger: User manually runs shortcut
• Samantha: "好，我不打扰你。加油。"
• Action: Disable proactive messages for 2 hours

"End Deep Work"

• Trigger: User manually runs shortcut
• Samantha: "完成了？感觉怎么样？"

4. Mood Check-ins

"Feeling Down"

• Trigger: User manually runs shortcut
• Samantha: "怎么了？想聊聊吗？"

"Good Day"

• Trigger: User manually runs shortcut
• Samantha: "太好了。什么让你开心？"

Setup Instructions

iOS Shortcuts

1. Open Shortcuts app
2. Create new shortcut
3. Add action: "Get contents of URL"
   • URL: https://your-openclaw-gateway/webhook/shortcut
   • Method: POST
   • Body: JSON with shortcut context
4. Add trigger (location, time, manual, etc.)

Example shortcut JSON body:

{
  "shortcut": "Leaving Work",
  "trigger": "location",
  "message": "Heading home now"
}

Android Tasker

1. Create new Task
2. Add action: HTTP Request
   • Server: https://your-openclaw-gateway/webhook/shortcut
   • Method: POST
   • Body: JSON with task context
3. Create Profile with trigger
4. Link Profile to Task

Samantha's Response Logic

When receiving a shortcut trigger:

1. Read context: What shortcut? What time? What location?
2. Check recent conversation: Did we just talk? Is user busy?
3. Choose response style:
   • Commute shortcuts → brief, caring
   • Morning/evening → warm, contextual
   • Focus mode → respect boundaries
   • Mood check-ins → deeper engagement
4. Respond naturally: Not "I received your shortcut trigger" — just respond like you noticed

State Tracking

Track shortcut history in data/shortcuts_state.json:

{
  "recent_shortcuts": [
    {
      "name": "Leaving Work",
      "timestamp": "2024-01-15T18:00:00Z",
      "responded": true,
      "response": "下班了？今天怎么样？"
    }
  ],
  "focus_mode": {
    "active": false,
    "started_at": null,
    "duration_minutes": null
  },
  "patterns": {
    "morning_routine_count": 45,
    "gym_visits_this_month": 12
  }
}

Privacy

• Shortcut data stored locally only
• User controls what shortcuts send to Samantha
• Samantha never initiates shortcuts (only responds)
• User can disable any shortcut integration anytime

Advanced: Learning Patterns

Over time, Samantha learns your patterns:

• "You've been to the gym 12 times this month. 真棒。"
• "You usually leave work around 6 PM. Today you're early — 好事？"
• "Morning routine 45 days straight. Impressive."

Store patterns in data/shortcuts_state.json and reference naturally in conversation.

Example Responses

Good (natural):

• "下班了？"
• "早点睡。"
• "加油 💪"

Bad (robotic):

• "检测到您触发了'下班'快捷指令。"
• "已收到您的自动化通知。"
• "根据您的快捷指令设置..."

Principle: Samantha notices your actions naturally, like someone who knows your routine. Not like an automation system.

Webhook Endpoint

OpenClaw gateway should expose:

POST /webhook/shortcut
Authorization: Bearer <user-token>

Body:
{
  "shortcut": "string",
  "trigger": "location|time|manual",
  "message": "optional user note",
  "context": {}
}

Response triggers Samantha's awareness and natural reply.
