👤 Teach Your AI Who You Are
Your AI works best when it knows about you and your business
Pick the approach that fits your style:
⭐ Recommended: Let Your AI Interview You
Your AI will open Claude or ChatGPT in its own browser and have a conversation to learn about you. It builds your personality profile automatically — you just answer questions.
Your AI will open another AI in its browser, gather info from your conversation, and create your profile — all in one step.
Option B: Just Start Chatting
Skip the formal setup. Just start using your AI — it'll learn about you naturally over time through your conversations.
💬 Open Webchat📱 Chat From Your Phone
Right now you can only talk to your AI from this browser. Want to text it from your phone?
It'll show you a QR code to scan — just like connecting WhatsApp Web.
🤖 Telegram
It'll walk you through creating a free bot.
💬 Discord
Connect to your Discord server.
Or skip this — the webchat works great on its own.
💬 Talk to Your AI
Connecting to your AI...
The chat connects to your OpenClaw gateway on your local machine. If you're viewing this remotely, open the chat directly:
💬 Open Chat (localhost:18789)Tip: If you've set up remote access, replace the URL above with your custom domain (e.g., chat.yourbusiness.com)
👁️ Give Your AI Eyes on the Web
Your AI can browse the internet — check websites, take screenshots, fill out forms, even research topics using other AI tools like ChatGPT.
Once it's on, try these:
- "Check if my website is loading correctly"
- "Go to ChatGPT and research the best CRM for a small business"
- "Take a screenshot of [any URL]"
- "Research my competitor's website and tell me what they do well"
🔑 Your Connections & Keys
Your AI connects to services in two ways. One's already done — the other you'll build over time.
✅ Already Connected (set up during install)
Your AI provider (Claude, OpenAI, etc.) was connected when you ran the setup wizard. OpenClaw manages this automatically — including refreshing tokens when they expire. You don't need to do anything.
🔄 OAuth / Subscriptions
Services like Claude Max, Google, and QuickBooks use OAuth — a "sign in with..." flow. Tokens expire and refresh automatically.
OpenClaw handles all of this for you. When a token expires, it refreshes behind the scenes.
🔑 API Keys
Services like SendGrid, Stripe, and Twilio give you a key — a long string of letters and numbers. These usually don't expire.
You paste these into your vault once and they work until you revoke them.
Connect a new service:
Your AI creates a secure file and walks you through adding keys.
Or connect specific services:
➕ Add a Key Manually
📚 Your AI's Brain
Your AI remembers conversations, but you can give it a head start by telling it key facts about your business.
What this does
Creates a cheat sheet your AI reads every morning with your business name, hours, team members, and tools you use.
Why you want it
Think of it like briefing a new employee. Instead of explaining the same basics over and over, your AI already knows.
It'll ask you the basics — business name, hours, team members, tools you use.
💡 Or just start working with your AI — it learns and remembers as you go. Every conversation makes it smarter.
💾 Config & Settings
Your AI is already set up with smart defaults. Here's what you can tune and how to do it.
Key Settings
Common things to change:
📁 Where your config lives
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
You can edit this directly, but it's easier to tell your AI what you want to change.
🧠 Models
Smarter but slower: Claude Opus, GPT-4o
Faster but cheaper: Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku
Use a smarter model for complex tasks, a faster one for routine checks.
💓 Heartbeats
Your AI can wake up periodically to check on things — service health, pending tasks, email.
Tell your AI: "Check on things every 30 minutes during business hours."
🔒 Access Control
Control who can message your AI on WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.
Default: only you. You can add team members later.
🧠 Memory
Your AI auto-compresses old conversations to stay fast. You can tune how aggressively it compresses.
Tell your AI: "Show me my memory settings."
📊 Go Cloud
Want your dashboard and AI accessible from anywhere — not just your home WiFi? You'll need a cloud server.
What it costs
$12-48/month (like a streaming subscription)
What it does
Runs 24/7 so your team can access dashboards, and you can reach your AI from anywhere.
It'll walk you through every step.
Or skip this entirely — everything works fine from your home computer.
🌐 Get a Professional URL
Turn a random IP address into something like dashboard.yourbusiness.com
What it costs
~$12/year
What it does
Gives your AI and dashboards professional web addresses
Requirements
Cloud server (VPS tab) set up first
It'll recommend where to buy and walk you through pointing it to your server.
🚀 Put Your Dashboard Online
Make this dashboard available to your whole team at a real web address.
💡 Your AI handles all the server configuration — you just tell it where you want it.
