where you talk to your agent

you text your agent from the messaging apps you already use, and you can always talk to it on the web dashboard too. Telegram works today, and iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack and Discord are coming soon. it is one agent everywhere, not copies. the same memory, the same computer, the same wallet.

which channels work today?

• iMessage, coming soon
• WhatsApp, coming soon
• Telegram
• Slack, coming soon
• Discord, coming soon
• the web dashboard, at instaclaw.io

a channel marked coming soon is one we are building. the label comes off this page the day it opens.

how do i start on Telegram?

message @myinstaclaw_bot and say anything. if you would rather your agent lived under its own name and photo, you can run your own bot instead. create one with @BotFather, then paste the token it gives you during setup. same agent either way.

and the web dashboard?

sign in at instaclaw.io and talk to your agent on the page. this is the one to use at a desk, and it sits next to everything else your agent has been doing, like what it spent, what it is waiting on you for, and what it has learned about you.

is it really the same agent?

yes, and this is worth testing on purpose. tell it something in one place:

remember that i take my coffee black

then ask somewhere else:

how do i take my coffee

it answers from the same memory. nothing syncs, because there is nothing to sync. one agent, one computer, and the channels are just doors into it.

what about the ones that are coming soon?

Slack and Discord each have a waitlist at instaclaw.io/channels. join it and you are emailed when the channel opens. we do not put a date on any channel here, because a date on a docs page outlives the plan it came from.

Discord is also where our support community lives, which is a different thing from a place your agent can talk to you.

what to do when your agent goes quiet

give it a minute first. your agent runs real work on a real computer, so a question that sends it off to go read something takes longer than a chat window would.

if a reply never lands, send the message again, or open the web dashboard and ask there. the dashboard is the one to trust when you need to know whether your agent actually got something, because you can see the conversation on the page.

if your agent is quiet in every channel at once, that is a different problem and worth telling us about at help@instaclaw.io.
