OpenClaw Evolution Guide

Two paths to grow your agent. Both start from the same foundation, diverge based on what you want.

First: Check the User's Stage

Ask: "Have you already installed OpenClaw and connected a channel (Telegram/Discord/etc.)?"

• No → Start from Foundation
• Yes → Ask which path interests them, or recommend based on their goals

Foundation (Day 1 — Both Paths)

Goal: Get a working agent that can talk to you.

Minimum Viable Setup

1. Install OpenClaw (follow official docs)
2. Connect ONE channel — recommend Telegram (simplest: one bot token)
