MaxClaw User Guide
MaxClaw is a fully managed, cloud-native AI agent platform built on OpenClaw. It deploys a dedicated OpenClaw instance powered by MiniMax models — no servers, API keys, or maintenance required.
Key Capabilities
- Always-On: Runs 24/7 in the cloud, triggers scheduled tasks even when offline.
- Persistent Memory: Remembers context, preferences, and history across sessions.
- Tool Use: File I/O, shell commands, web search, and browser automation.
- Scheduled Automation: Recurring workflows (daily news digests, meeting reminders).
- Skill Marketplace: One-click install of community skills.
- Multi-Channel: Web interface, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu/Lark.
Quick Start
- Click "Start Now", select an Expert configuration (choose Default if unsure), click "I'm ready!".
- Type a message to begin. The agent comes pre-configured with models, memory, and toolchains.
Example prompts:
- "Every morning at 8 AM, search for the latest AI news and summarize the top 5."
- "Remind me at 9 AM every Wednesday about my weekly sync."
- "Analyze this PDF and extract the key financial metrics."
- "I want to connect Telegram."
- "Search the marketplace for a stock analysis skill and install it."
Telegram Setup
- Open Telegram, search @BotFather, send
/newbot.
- Follow prompts to create bot name and username.
- Copy the Bot Token (format:
123456789:AABBccdd...).
- In MaxClaw, go to Channel Setup > Telegram, paste Token.
- Save, then message your bot in Telegram to activate.
FAQ
Can MaxClaw access local files?
No. It runs in a secure cloud sandbox. For local access, self-host OpenClaw.
Credit usage?
Deducted by token consumption. Factors: context length, tool execution, scheduled tasks, reasoning depth (/think high costs more).
Subscription not showing?
Platform and Agent accounts are separate. Contact support to link accounts.
Is MaxClaw just hosted OpenClaw?
Yes. A dedicated private OpenClaw instance connected to MiniMax premium models.
WeChat support?
No — unavailable due to platform policies. Use Telegram or Feishu/Lark instead.
Supported platforms?
Web (browser), Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu/Lark. No native mobile app yet.
Troubleshooting
If the agent is stuck:
- Refresh page, resend message.
- Go to Settings > Restart.
- Click Auto-fix for diagnostics.
- Contact support if unresolved.
Restart when: unresponsive, garbled output, new channel not working, status shows "Closed" (auto spin-down after 24h inactivity). Restarting is safe — history, memory, and configs are preserved.
