📁 File Sync with Syncthing

Your assistant can create files (plans, documents, code). With Syncthing, they automatically sync to your Mac or PC.

Setup:

1. Ask your assistant: "Install Syncthing and set up file sync"
2. Your assistant will give you a Device ID
3. Install Syncthing on your computer:
   • Mac: brew install syncthing or download from syncthing.net
   • Windows: Download from syncthing.net
4. Open Syncthing (localhost:8384), add the Device ID
5. Accept the shared folder request
6. Done — files sync automatically!

Pro tip: Your assistant's workspace is at ~/.openclaw/workspace. Ask it to save files there for easy access.

💬 Connect Discord

Use your assistant via Discord alongside Telegram.

Setup:

1. Go to discord.com/developers/applications
2. Click "New Application" → name it → Create
3. Go to "Bot" → "Add Bot" → Copy the token
4. Go to "OAuth2" → "URL Generator":
   • Scopes: bot
   • Permissions: Send Messages, Read Message History
   • Copy the URL and open it to invite the bot to your server
5. Ask your BlitzClaw assistant: "Add Discord channel with token: [YOUR_TOKEN]"
6. Done — message your bot on Discord!

Note: Both Telegram and Discord work simultaneously. Same assistant, multiple channels.

🔑 Using Secrets

Store sensitive info (API keys, passwords) securely in the dashboard — not in chat.

1. Go to your BlitzClaw dashboard
2. Click "Secrets"
3. Add key-value pairs (e.g., OPENAI_KEY = sk-...)
4. Your assistant can access these without them appearing in chat history

🌐 Browser Automation

Your assistant can browse the web, take screenshots, and interact with websites.

Examples:

• "Take a screenshot of example.com"
• "Search Google for AI news and summarize the top 5 results"
• "Log into [site] and check my notifications" (requires storing credentials in Secrets)
