Configuration Overview

Summary

The Agent console separates Channels, Models, Skills, and Scheduled Tasks into pages in its sidebar. Select the intended Bot before changing its settings. Connect a messaging channel from its card, choose a model or use plan credits, and install Skills from Skills.sh or ClawHub when needed. Soul, Memory, Diagnostics, Advanced Settings, and Labs are available in separate sections. Cloud Storage opens from the user menu. When the Bot is online and plan model credits are available or a model is configured, use Web Chat to send a message without connecting a channel first.

The Agent console organizes everyday setup in sidebar pages for Channels, Models, Skills, and Scheduled Tasks. Select the Bot you intend to configure, then open the relevant page. This guide shows where to start and how to verify the result.

Enter the console

After signing in, open the Agent console. Choose the Hermes Agent and Bot you want to configure.

Web Chat is under Daily; connect an external Channel only when you want to use a messaging app.

Bots and selected Bot information

Select the intended avatar in the Bot bar before changing settings. On narrow screens, expand navigation first. Use Manage Bot to edit the selected Bot’s profile, copy, restart or delete it; a failed Bot can offer repair. For another Bot, choose New Bot when your plan has capacity, set its name and optional description, and review the appearance. Advanced copy options appear only when an eligible source Bot exists. Copy Bot preselects the source; confirm it before Create. Deleting the main Bot requires deleting the other Bots first. See Manage Bots.

Configure channels, models, and skills

Channels

Open Channels in the Agent sidebar. The page shows separate cards for Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, WeChat, QQ, WeCom, and Lark. Select + Connect on the channel you want and follow its guide. WhatsApp, WeChat, WeCom, and Lark use QR-code authorization; Telegram, Discord, and Slack use credentials. QQ offers QR code or App ID / Secret connection. See the WhatsApp guide for a QR-code example.

Models

Open Models to review the active model or configure a provider. Plan model credits can be used without entering your own API key; you may add a provider when needed. A Bot uses one primary model at a time, and separately configured fallback models may be available. See Configure Models and Model Switching.

Skills

Open Skills to search individual skills or browse Skill Packages from Skills.sh and ClawHub. Select Install, then verify the result in Installed. See Configure Skills.

Success state after configuration

The minimum working state is a selected, online Bot with available model credits or a configured model, plus a successful test reply in Web Chat. External channels, skills and scheduled tasks are optional. If you connect a channel, check that its card shows Connected and test a message from that platform. A connected channel alone does not replace a working model.

Common operations

Switch models: Open Models for the selected Bot and choose an available configured model. The Bot's memory is retained; see Model Switching.
Connect multiple channels: Open Channels and use + Connect on each required card. Channels connected to the same Bot share that Bot's persona and memory.
Manage Bots: Select a Bot tab before changing settings. When creation is available, follow Manage Bots for copying and deletion rules.
Open Cloud Storage: Use Cloud Storage in the user menu rather than looking for it in the Agent sidebar.
