Getting Started

Getting Started

Welcome to easyClaw! Your AI agent is up and running. Follow this checklist to get everything configured.

Setup Checklist

☐ 1. Set Up SSL

Your domain needs HTTPS for the chat interface to work. Go to Settings → SSL Setup, enter your domain name, make sure DNS points to your VPS IP, and click Setup SSL.

☐ 2. Configure Your Agent’s Identity

Give your agent a name and personality. Go to Settings → Identity and set a name, creature type, vibe, and emoji. This is who your agent will be.

☐ 3. Fill In “About You”

Help your agent understand who you are. Go to About You and fill in your name, email, bio, and social links. This gets written to your agent’s USER.md file.

☐ 4. Connect Telegram

The easiest way to talk to your agent from anywhere. Go to Channels → Telegram → Configure:

  1. Message @BotFather on Telegram and create a new bot
  2. Copy the bot token and paste it in easyClaw
  3. Enter your Telegram user ID (get it from @userinfobot)
  4. Save — then message your bot!

☐ 5. Harden Security

Go to Security:

  • Disable support access if you don’t need remote help right now
  • Review the fail2ban dashboard for any banned IPs
  • Consider which IPs should have SSH access

☐ 6. Talk to Your Agent!

Open the Control Panel (🦞 lobster icon on dashboard) or message your Telegram bot:

  • “Hey, who are you?”
  • “What can you help me with?”
  • “Start a project for me”

What’s Next?

Once you’re up and running:

  • Set up email — let your agent check an inbox (Channels → Email)
  • Create projects — organize what your agent works on (Projects)
  • Explore skills — add new abilities to your agent
  • Check health — run diagnostics anytime (Health)

Key Concepts

Your Agent’s Memory

Your agent wakes up fresh each session. It remembers things by writing to files:

  • MEMORY.md — long-term notes and context
  • USER.md — what it knows about you (populated from About You)
  • IDENTITY.md — its own name, personality, and vibe

Projects

Projects are tracked in PROJECTS.md in your agent’s workspace. You can view them from the Projects page. Tell your agent to create projects via chat.

Skills

Skills are plugins that give your agent new abilities — like checking weather, generating images, or managing DNS.

  • Troubleshooting — common issues and fixes
  • Terminal — direct command-line access to your VPS
