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.
