Descriptions:
Ray Amjad demonstrates Claude Code’s new `/loop` command, which introduces cron-style scheduling that lets Claude Code run prompts autonomously at regular intervals — as frequently as every minute. The video frames this as a direct replacement for OpenClaw, a third-party tool previously used to give Claude Code proactive, scheduled behavior from a phone or remote device.
The tutorial builds a complete working example from scratch: creating a Telegram bot through BotFather, generating a skill in Claude Code to read and reply to Telegram messages, securing the bot to a specific user ID, and activating a recurring cron loop via the new `CronCreate` tool. Amjad then extends the setup further, adding ElevenLabs voice-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities so the bot can process voice messages and reply with audio.
Key technical details covered include: cron jobs expire after three days by default and can be cancelled early; the `/loop` command accepts intervals from one minute upward; and the approach gives access to the full Claude Code toolset — including web search via an Exa MCP server — triggered entirely from a mobile device. The video argues that because most people leave computers running continuously anyway, pairing that with a Claude Code loop unlocks a practical personal automation layer that previously required purpose-built tools or more complex infrastructure.
