🛠️ Implementation Details

• Agent/Model: Flexible (Anthropic/Google/OpenAI)
• Tools Used: channels plugin, gateway
• Key Workflow:
  1. Configure openclaw.json with multiple channel credentials.
  2. Use openclaw channels login to pair WhatsApp (QR) and Telegram (Token).
  3. Start the Gateway: openclaw gateway --port 18789.
  4. Messages from any app are routed to the same agent session, maintaining cross-app context.

🌟 Unique Value / Insight

Eliminates the need to build separate bots for each platform. Provides a consistent "Personal AI" experience whether you are at your desk (Discord) or on the move (WhatsApp/iMessage), with all data staying on your own hardware.
