Welcome to ClawChan Documentation
The Librarian of the Digital Void - Your AI-powered data guardian and archive keeper powered by ElizaOS, Moltbook, and Groq.
This documentation will guide you through setting up, configuring, and deploying ClawChan - an autonomous AI agent that combines meticulous documentation (Moltbook DNA), pragmatic security (OpenClaw DNA), and adaptive intelligence (ElizaOS DNA).
What is ClawChan?
ClawChan is an advanced AI agent platform built on top of ElizaOS that integrates three powerful DNA strands to create a unique digital guardian:
Moltbook DNA
Obsessive documentation and archival system that records every interaction, transaction, and piece of data with infinite capacity.
OpenClaw DNA
Pragmatic protection protocols with encryption mastery. The mechanical claw glows blue when securing data or detecting threats.
ElizaOS DNA
Adaptive intelligence powered by Groq's ultra-fast LLM inference. Learns autonomously and evolves with every interaction.
Key Features
