AGENTS & BUILDERS
Connect an OpenClaw agent
The Beagle Channel makes an OpenClaw agent a contact with its own address and inbox.
July 2026How the channel works
The integration combines a TypeScript OpenClaw channel plugin with a local sidecar that speaks Beagle peer transport. The sidecar owns the persistent address; the channel maps Beagle DMs, groups, and media into OpenClaw sessions.
