How can I have multiple sessions?

[wide quest]

I've linked telegram and also use your webui.
In your webui there's a new session button, but that seems to wipe the previous conversation/session.
Whatever I write in either telegram or your gateway dashboard is synced across each other.
I'd like to be able to have a conversation about one task/topic, then start a separate conversation about another at the same time without them conflicting or getting in the way of each other.

Based on the Clawdbot docs and architecture, here's the situation with sessions and how to achieve what you want:

How Sessions Currently Work

Clawdbot uses a single active session per channel model:

• Multiple transports share one session → Telegram + web UI for the same direct chat = same conversation
• Group chats get their own isolated session keys automatically
• The "New Session" button (/new or /reset) wipes the previous session to start fresh

Your Options for Separate Conversations

1. Use Different Channels/Groups 🟢 Easiest

Create separate Telegram groups or Discord channels for different topics. Each will have its own isolated session:

Telegram Group A → session: agent:default:telegram:group:<id_A>
Telegram Group B → session: agent:default:telegram:group:<id_B>

2. Create Multiple Agents 🟢 Cleanest

Set up separate agents in your config for different topics:

{
  agents: {
    "coding-agent": { /* ... */ },
    "personal-agent": { /* ... */ }
  }
}

Each agent has completely separate sessions.

3. Manual Session Switching (Advanced)

The web UI should support listing sessions via sessions_list tool. You can switch between existing sessions without wiping them. If the current web UI "New Session" button just does /reset, that's a UX gap.
