What they did

@ai_samerhaddad briefed his OpenClaw agent: Tuesday, 8:30-9 pm, three people, his name, his number only if asked, and two must-haves.

How it went

It checked the number online before dialing. On the first call one must-have was not met, so it did not book and said it would check back.

Worth knowing

Give hard constraints, and disclose that an AI is calling where required.
