Hi, I admit I've tried to install open claw several times, the experience usually just lasted days until something broke in an annoying way, and fixes led to more issues, so I ended up uninstalling it and using the time for other coding projects ... so now I am checking in again and I'd hate to learn everything from scratch.

There has been an astonishing pace of upgrades recently. Has the dust finally settled?

I have a MacMini ready with its own account, a google account set up for it as well, an openai subscription and a telegram bot, plus an Obsidian vault. The first goal is to have it act as a personal assistant and "invite" me to appointments from its own account, do some autonomous research, keep a google sheet up to date with my fitness goals, later also browse linkedin.

My last attempts to have it reliably set up cronjobs failed, it would happily confirm that yes, a cronjob was running and yes, some maintenance tasks were triggered by heartbeat - but in most cases, it would forget the cronjobs, they would not run, it would just forget about it and not respond via telegram. Attempts to have it fix itself led to it destroying its own config files, so I had to restore them.

By now I have purged all traces from the old installations, and I am wary of wasting time with it again - time I could use for other projects in Codex instead. I'd prefer to just follow an up to date detailed tutorial for the installation and the basic setup, close to my use cases. Can you recommend something that is up to date and works? Thanks!
