## Notes
refactor: rename to openclaw
2026-01-30 03:15:10 +01:00
- Channels can run simultaneously; configure multiple and OpenClaw will route per chat.
docs: add tips + clawd-to-clawd faq
2026-01-25 04:04:14 +00:00
- Fastest setup is usually **Telegram** (simple bot token). WhatsApp requires QR pairing and
stores more state on disk.
