Frequently Asked Questions

EasyClaw is a fully managed AI assistant that runs in your own isolated container. It connects to your messaging channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack) so you can chat with a powerful AI from the apps you already use — no new apps to install.

Click "Sign in" and authenticate with your Google account. That's it — your workspace is automatically created.

Just a Google account to sign in and a Gemini API key (free from Google AI Studio). Enter your key, click "Save & Create Instance", and your bot is live within minutes.

A Gemini API key lets your bot use Google's Gemini AI model. You can get one for free at aistudio.google.com — sign in, go to "Get API key", create a key, and paste it into your EasyClaw dashboard.

Yes. You can provide an OpenAI API key in the dashboard and select it as your default model. You can also provide both keys and switch between them.

Typically 2-5 minutes. You'll see a progress indicator on your dashboard and receive an email when your instance is ready.

Once your instance is running, go to your dashboard and enable WhatsApp. A QR code will appear — scan it with your phone's WhatsApp app (Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device). Your bot will start responding to messages immediately.

Yes. Telegram support is available. You can configure your Telegram bot token in the instance settings to connect your bot to Telegram.

Slack integration is on the roadmap and will be available soon. Stay tuned for updates.

Your instance runs in its own isolated Docker container. All browser access is TLS-encrypted and requires token authentication. Container ports are never directly exposed to the internet.

Only you (via your dashboard) and the messaging channels you connect. Access requires a unique token and all connections are encrypted.

Yes. Your API keys are encrypted at rest in our database and are only used server-side to configure your instance. They are never exposed to the browser or transmitted to third parties.

Your first 15 days are completely free with full access to all features. No credit card is required to start.

Your instance will be paused. You can reactivate it anytime by subscribing. Your configuration and data are preserved.

Yes. There are no contracts or cancellation fees. You can cancel your subscription from the dashboard at any time.

We recommend creating a new, dedicated Gmail account specifically for your EasyClaw agent. Use this account when configuring Email, Google Calendar, and Google Drive integrations. This keeps your personal inbox and files separate from your bot's activity, gives you better control over what the agent can access, and avoids any accidental actions on your personal account.

Create a new Google account (e.g., mybot@gmail.com), then use that account's credentials when setting up Email (via App Password), Google Calendar, and Google Drive in your EasyClaw dashboard. You can share specific files or calendars from your personal account to this dedicated account as needed.

Connecting Google Drive lets you grant your AI assistant access to specific files you choose. After connecting, use the "Pick Files" button to select which files your bot can read.

EasyClaw uses the drive.file scope, which only grants access to files you explicitly select through the file picker. It cannot see or access any other files in your Drive.

Click the "Pick Files" button on your dashboard anytime to select additional files. Each time you pick files, those files become accessible to your bot.
