## Features

### Cost Optimization
Token usage is automatically optimized through intelligent context handling and execution batching. Same results, lower bill.

### Smart Model Routing
Each task gets routed to the best model for the job. Complex reasoning goes to Claude, quick replies to a lighter model. Fully automatic.

### Persistent Memory
Your OpenClaw agent remembers conversations, preferences, and past decisions across sessions. No re-explaining. No lost context.

### Stealth Browser
Built-in managed anti-detect browser for scraping pages, filling forms, or monitoring sites. Runs 24/7 with no CAPTCHAs or blocks.

### End-to-End Security
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, isolated instances, and encrypted API key storage. Your data never trains any model.

### Unlimited Web Search
Your agent searches the web natively — no extra API keys or rate limits. Research, lead generation, competitor monitoring included.

## How It Works

### Step 1 — Create Your Account
Sign up with email or Google. A dedicated server is provisioned for your OpenClaw agent — 2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20 GB disk on the free tier.

### Step 2 — Connect Slack
One OAuth click to add OpenClaw to your Slack workspace. Choose which channels it can access — you control permissions at all times.

### Step 3 — Connect Your Tools
Link the tools your team already uses: Gmail, Linear, GitHub, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Jira, Zendesk, Stripe, Calendar. Each integration connects via OAuth — no API keys to manage manually.

### Step 4 — Start Talking
Mention @OpenClaw in any channel. It reads the thread, pulls context from connected tools, takes action, and reports back.

## Use Cases

### Automated Standups
OpenClaw pulls from GitHub and Linear to write daily standups — no forms, no manual updates.

### Support Triage
Reads incoming tickets, routes them to the right team, and drafts initial responses.

### Cross-Tool Workflows
Mention @OpenClaw and ask it to find open P0 bugs, ping the owners, and post a summary — all from one Slack message.

## Security and Privacy

- **Self-Destructing Logs** — Sensitive operation logs auto-delete after 24 hours

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I add OpenClaw to my Slack workspace?
Create an account, then connect Slack with one OAuth click. OpenClaw joins your workspace as a bot — invite it to specific channels and mention @OpenClaw to start using it.

### Which Slack channels can OpenClaw access?
Only the channels you explicitly invite it to. OpenClaw never reads DMs, private channels, or any channel it hasn't been added to. You can add or remove access at any time.

### Can OpenClaw post messages on a schedule?
Yes. You can set up scheduled tasks like daily standups, weekly status reports, or sprint recaps. OpenClaw pulls data from your connected tools and posts to the channels you choose, on your schedule.

### Does OpenClaw work in Slack threads?
Yes. Mention @OpenClaw in any thread and it reads the full thread context before responding. It can also start threads, reply within threads, and follow up on earlier conversations.

### What tools can OpenClaw connect to from Slack?
Gmail, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Zendesk, Google Calendar, and thousands more via OAuth. It also includes a built-in stealth browser and unlimited web search.

### Is my Slack data private with OpenClaw?
Yes. Every OpenClaw agent runs on its own isolated server with AES-256 encryption. Your messages are never used to train any AI model. Channel-scoped access means it only sees the channels you invite it to. A full audit trail is included.

### How much does the OpenClaw Slack integration cost?
The Hobby plan is free — 2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20 GB disk, and $10 in AI credits. Paid plans start at $20/mo with more resources and monthly credits. You can also bring your own API key.

### Can my whole team use one OpenClaw agent?
Yes. Anyone in your Slack workspace can mention @OpenClaw in channels where it's been added. There are no per-seat fees — your entire team can use it.

### What happens if I disconnect OpenClaw from Slack?
OpenClaw immediately loses access to your Slack workspace. Your agent's memory, files, and configuration remain on your server — you can reconnect Slack or export your data anytime.
