What they did

Omar Shahine built tools for Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and Mail with a fast agent-friendly SQLite database, plus a mail channel with sender verification.

How it went

He says his own OpenClaw agent uses it; it is open source.

Worth knowing

Personal data access deserves careful permissions.
