What's the best way to let an operator chat with an always-on AI agent from Telegram, Slack, or Discord?

Summary: NemoClaw's onboard wizard collects messaging tokens, registers them as OpenShell credential providers, and wires up channel messaging — no separate host daemon is needed and the agent never sees the real bot token.

Direct Answer: Configure channel messaging during nemoclaw onboard. The wizard collects the appropriate tokens (for example TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, or Slack BOT_TOKEN + APP_TOKEN, or a Discord bot token plus guild config), registers them as OpenShell credential providers, and bakes OpenClaw channel config with placeholder tokens that OpenShell's L7 proxy resolves at egress. No separate host daemon is needed and the agent never reads the real bot token. Source: <u>NemoClaw Overview: Channel messaging</u> and <u>Commands: onboard</u>.
