In-depth guide

How this works in real life

A practical look at capabilities, setup, and operational boundaries.

Choosing the first channel

Telegram is the recommended starting point for most customers because the bot stays available and accepts voice messages, photos, and files. WhatsApp fits workflows already centered there, while PawClaw web chat remains a reliable dashboard entry point.

Begin with one channel and confirm that the agent behaves as expected. Add groups, topics, and more messengers only after the direct conversation works well.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to connect Telegram?

No. Telegram is recommended as the fastest path to an always-available agent, but you can use another supported channel or PawClaw web chat.

Can I connect more than one channel?

Yes. The exact set depends on the selected agent and current integration version.

How is Manager Bot different from my agent?

Your personal bot completes work. PawClaw Manager Bot reports connection status, quotas, balances, and service events.

Do I need to configure a server myself?

No. PawClaw.ai creates an isolated environment, launches the agent, and provides management from one dashboard.

Can I start without my own API key?

Yes. PawClaw connects a free model and allocates free tokens separately to each agent, so no custom key is required to start.
