Interface elements
The chat area displays the conversation with the AI assistant, including a welcome message with tips for getting started. The message input field at the bottom of the screen accepts text—press Enter or click the Send button to submit messages.
The gear icon in the top-right corner opens the Settings panel, which provides access to instance management options including Restart Instance, Backup Config, Restore Config, and Recreate Instance.
Start chatting
The welcome message includes several tips for working with Gclaw. Click the gear icon to access Backup Config and Restore Config—create a backup before making significant changes to enable rollback if something breaks.
Ask the assistant for copy-paste config snippets to connect messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp. To enable web search capabilities, add a Brave Search API key by asking the assistant “Help me enable web search.”
Gclaw starts fresh each session and does not remember previous conversations by default. The assistant keeps notes in the workspace to build continuity over time.
Questions can be asked directly in the chat. The assistant provides step-by-step instructions with copy-paste commands for tasks like connecting Telegram, connecting Discord, enabling web search, or backing up configuration.
