Inspiration

Most freelancer (ZZP) finance tools look backward. They show what happened after the tax risk, cash-flow gap, or bookkeeping work already exists.

FlowState gives solo entrepreneurs a real-time finance superagency: always thinking ahead, optimizing taxes, reserves, and allocations before admin turns into cost. A proactive team of agents that work for you in real-time.

What it does

FlowState helps solo entrepreneurs stay ahead of tax, admin, and cash-flow decisions before they become expensive bookkeeping work.

Instead of reviewing the past, FlowState helps you structure every euro as it moves, so you spend less time on finance and more time building.

How we built it

FlowState treats Bunq Business as the financial operating layer. Live bunq webhook events flow into an OpenClaw Gateway multi-agent system, where transaction data is enriched with multimodal context: invoices, receipts, images, messages, and user voice input.

The system matches this context against Dutch ZZP tax and allocation logic, then uses CrabTrap, built by Brex, as a real-time security proxy to ensure OpenClaw agents operate within proper guardrails before any money-moving action flows back into bunq.

Bunq execution could include creating or managing subaccounts, allocating income into tax and reserve buckets, paying invoices, moving money between accounts,

Challenges we ran into

Challenge was designing FlowState around real-time financial action rather than passive reporting. That meant combining live bunq events with messy personal context: invoices, receipts, emails, messages, images, and voice input, then turning that into safe, structured decisions for tax reserves, subaccounts, allocations, and payments.

The hardest part was trust. A finance agent cannot simply “decide and move money.” Every action needs context, policy logic, validation, and clear safety boundaries. That is why CrabTrap became important as a real-time security proxy for OpenClaw agents before anything flows back into bunq.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Combining OpenClaw gateway with multiple agents and using CrabTrab to ensure enforced policies. We also built a ZZP skill for the agent.

What we learned

bunq gives FlowState the real-time financial operating layer, but the value comes from combining those events with personal context: invoices, receipts, messages, images, and voice. We also learned that agentic finance only becomes practical with strong guardrails. CrabTrap was critical because it makes using an OpenClaw-style multi-agent system possible in a financial workflow, acting as the real-time security proxy between agent reasoning and money-moving execution.
