The last command opens the Control UI; send a message there to confirm the assistant is working. See the getting started guide for channel setup and troubleshooting. How it fits together The Gateway is the local control plane for sessions, tools, events, and channel connections. The Control UI, CLI, and TUI connect to the Gateway. Channels bring the assistant to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, and other messaging services. Companion apps and nodes add voice, Canvas, camera, screen, and device local actions on supported platforms. OpenClaw works with hosted and local model providers. Its tools, skills, and plugins extend what an assistant can do. Security Treat inbound messages as untrusted input. DM capable channels pair unknown senders by default; approve a pairing request with openclaw pairing approve . Tools run on the host for the main session unless you configure sandboxing. Read the security guide, exposure runbook, and sandboxing guide before connecting other users or exposing the Gateway remotely.
