Automate Ashby with AI

Operator runs your personal agent on OpenClaw, the open source agent framework, and points it straight at Ashby. You message the agent on Telegram or Discord, tell it what you need in plain language, and it operates Ashby on its own, running actions like add candidate to project, add candidate tag, add hiring team member.

Your agent reaches Ashby directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.
