Your briefing needs a home
Yesterday you signed up, connected your calendar and email, and saw a preview of your Morning Briefing. Right now, that briefing lives inside the KiloClaw web app — which is fine, but not great. You want your briefing to find you where you already are.
OpenClaw supports five delivery channels. Pick the one that fits how you already work:
| Channel | Best for | Setup time |
|---|---|---|
| Web chat | Staying in the browser, quick access from your desk | Already done |
| Telegram | Personal mobile access, rich features (buttons, files, voice) | ~3 minutes |
| Slack | Teams already using Slack, work-context delivery | ~5 minutes |
| Discord | Communities, personal servers, always-on desktop app | ~5 minutes |
| iOS / Android app | Native mobile experience, push notifications | ~1 minute |
You are not locked in. You can add more channels later, or use several at once.
Option A: Stay in web chat
If you prefer the browser, there is nothing to set up. Bookmark your KiloClaw dashboard and your briefing will appear there every morning. Skip ahead to "Confirm your schedule" below.
Tip: Pin the tab. Your claw is always on, and the web chat updates in real time.
Option B: Connect Telegram
Telegram is the most popular choice — it is free, works on every device, and has the richest bot API (buttons, file sharing, voice messages, inline queries).
Set up your bot
- Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
- Send
/newbot - Pick a display name (e.g. "My Morning Claw")
- Pick a username (e.g.
my_morning_claw_bot) - BotFather gives you a token — copy it
Connect it to KiloClaw
- In your KiloClaw dashboard, go to Channels > Telegram
- Paste the bot token
- KiloClaw auto-detects your Telegram user ID for security — only you can talk to your claw
That is it. Open a chat with your new bot in Telegram. You are connected.
Option C: Connect Slack
If Slack is where you live during the workday, this keeps your claw one /slash command away.
- In your KiloClaw dashboard, go to Channels > Slack
- Click Connect Slack Workspace — you will authorize via OAuth
- Choose which channel or DM your claw should use
- Your claw appears as a bot in that channel
Morning briefings arrive as a DM from your claw. You can also message it anytime, right from Slack.
Option D: Connect Discord
If you run a personal Discord server or want your claw available alongside your communities:
- In your KiloClaw dashboard, go to Channels > Discord
- Follow the setup guide to create a Discord bot and invite it to your server
- Paste the bot token
- Choose a channel for your briefings
Option E: Download the mobile app
For native push notifications and a clean mobile experience:
- Download the KiloClaw app from the App Store or Google Play
- Sign in with your KiloClaw account
- Enable notifications
Your briefings arrive as push notifications. Tap to expand and interact.
Test your connection
Whichever channel you chose, test it now. Send a simple message:
Send me a test message
Your claw should respond within seconds. If it replies, the connection is solid.
Try something more useful:
What is on my calendar tomorrow?
If it pulls up your real schedule, everything from Day 1 is working end to end — calendar connected, channel connected, claw responsive.
Confirm your briefing schedule
Your Morning Briefing is pre-set to run at 7:00am in your local timezone. If you want to change it:
Set my morning briefing to 6:30am
Or adjust it later in the KiloClaw dashboard under Schedules.
What matters is this: when you wake up tomorrow, your briefing will be waiting for you in the channel you just set up. No app to open. No prompt to write. It just shows up.
What happens tomorrow morning
Here is what to expect when you check your phone (or Slack, or Discord, or browser) tomorrow:
Good morning! Here is your briefing for Thursday, April 17:
Weather: 58°F, clear skies. Great day to walk to that 11:30 lunch.
Calendar:
- 9:00am — Standup (Zoom)
- 11:30am — Lunch with Sarah
- 2:00pm — Design review
- No conflicts detected
Email highlights:
- Client replied to your proposal — flagged as needing response
- 2 newsletters summarized
- Package delivery notification from FedEx
Reply to this message to ask me anything, or say "draft a reply to the client" and I will get started.
That last line is important. Your claw is not just delivering information — it is ready to act on it. Reply right there in your channel and it will draft emails, reschedule meetings, or look things up. The line between "reading your briefing" and "getting things done" disappears.
What just happened
In a few minutes, you:
- Chose your preferred delivery channel
- Connected it to your claw
- Verified the connection with a test message
- Confirmed your briefing schedule
Tomorrow morning, your claw delivers its first real briefing. This is the moment it starts feeling less like a tool and more like an assistant.
Key takeaways
- Five channel options — web chat, Telegram, Slack, Discord, mobile app — pick what fits your life
- You are not locked in — add more channels anytime, or switch
- Test before you sleep — send a test message to make sure everything works
- Tomorrow is the payoff — your first real Morning Briefing arrives automatically
- Your claw is interactive — reply to your briefing to take action immediately
Coming tomorrow: Day 3
Your briefing arrives. It is useful, but it is generic. What if it knew your communication style? What if it pulled from your task tracker? What if it checked your GitHub repos? Tomorrow you will make your claw truly yours — personality, integrations, and the self-improving loop that makes each briefing better than the last.
