Okay, let's get your own AI assistant up and running. By the end of this section you'll have a working OpenClaw instance (you may know it by its earlier names, Clawdbot or Moltbot) responding to messages on Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack.
I'll walk you through every step: installing the CLI, launching the background daemon, wiring up a chat platform, picking an AI model, and writing the config files that shape your assistant's personality and safety rules. Ready?
