Quickstart: ClawCentral

Get from zero to a working AI agent in minutes. ClawCentral is fully managed — there is nothing to install.

Go to clawcentral.io and create an account. You can register with any email address.

Not sure which to pick? Start with Starter — no API keys needed, start chatting immediately. See Pricing for full details.

3. Create your first tenancy​

After choosing a plan, create a tenancy. Pick a slug (e.g. myteam) — your tenancy will be available at myteam.clawcentral.io.

Each tenancy is isolated: its own agent, channels, skills, and configuration.

4. Set up a model​

Base plan (BYOK)​

If you chose the Base plan, add your API key before chatting:

  1. Open your tenant admin at https://<your-slug>.clawcentral.io/
  2. Go to Settings → AI Providers
  3. Select a provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) and enter your API key

Starter / Pro plans​

No API keys needed — platform-managed AI is preconfigured. Skip to the next step.

5. Send your first message​

Navigate to https://<your-slug>.clawcentral.io/ and sign in. The Control UI is a browser-based chat interface built into every tenant.

Type a message and press Enter. Your agent will respond.

tip

The Control UI works without any channel setup. Use it to verify your agent is working before connecting external messaging apps.

6. Connect a messaging channel (optional)​

To use your agent from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, or other platforms:

  1. Go to Settings → Channels in your admin panel
  2. Pick a platform and follow the setup guide
  3. Send a test message — your agent will respond

See Channels for per-platform setup instructions.

7. Configure skills and automation (optional)​

ClawCentral supports cloud-managed skills, cron jobs, and sub-agents — no local runtime required.

  • Skills: custom tools your agent can call — see Skills
  • Cron jobs: scheduled tasks your agent runs automatically — see Cron jobs
  • Sub-agents: spawn parallel agents for complex tasks — see Sub-agents
  • Hooks: trigger automation on events — see Hooks
