Multi-channel AI messaging via Openclaw


What it does

An integration guide for Openclaw, the gateway that adds multi-channel messaging (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp), scheduled automation, and multi-agent routing to an existing AI app.

How it works

Same low-cognitive-load pattern as mcp-assistant: one question at a time, one step at a time, announce the phase, lock outputs before advancing. A Quick Win Track gets something live in under 10 minutes (install → onboard → open dashboard) for whichever messaging app is named.

From there it routes by intent: Discovery for "what should I add," Install for a from-scratch setup, Channel Setup (with a recommendation table: personal use → Telegram, dev team → Slack/Discord, customers → WhatsApp/WebChat, privacy-first → Signal/Matrix), Automation (cron for scheduled tasks, Heartbeat for periodic checks, Hooks for event reactions, Standing Orders for always-on rules), Multi-Agent Routing (different agents for different roles, mapped by channel), and Stack Integration notes specific to Vercel, Clerk, and Neon.

Try it

My app does [what]. I want to add [Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp/scheduled automation/
multiple agents]. Walk me through it one step at a time using Openclaw, and tell me
which channel or automation type actually fits what I described before we set anything up.

When to reach for it

Any time the goal is "let people message my AI directly" rather than only reaching it through a web app.
