QoderWork Tutorial
Although OpenClaw is powerful, it actually has a learning curve. You need to know the command line, install node.js, and various configurations. Without technical skills, it's really hard to set up.
Alibaba has released a desktop-level AI Agent -- QoderWork. This one is much simpler. Just download and use it directly. No need to know the command line. You can install and configure various skills within the software.
We only need to describe the requirements, and QoderWork will automatically break down the steps, call software, execute, and deliver the results.
- Traditional AI Tools:You ask, it answers, but you still have to do the work yourself.
- QoderWork:You state the requirements, it delivers results.

First, let's create a QoderWork working directory:
mkdir qoderwork-example-testEnter that directory:
cd qoderwork-example-test
Let's create test data. Copy the following content directly, paste it into Notepad/text editor, and save it assales_test.csvFile:

Then open QoderWork, and set the working directory selector at the bottom left to qoderwork-example-test:

Enter the content:
分析该目录下的 Excel 销售表 ,并生成一个 PPT 汇报 。

As can be seen from the figure above, QoderWork has analyzed the steps and started executing the task.
After execution, a PPT file will be generated in the qoderwork-example-test directory, with a prompt as follows:

We can directly open the PPT to take a look; the result is quite good:

In addition, we can use@to invoke the skills specifically for generating PPTs to generate:

The generation process will then use that Skills:
