ClawHQ comes with several pre-built agents. This guide walks through activating one and connecting it to Discord.

Activate an agent

  1. Open the dashboard and go to Team
  2. Click Add Agent or select an agent from the roster
  3. The agent is now active — it will respond to messages in any connected channel
Each agent has a role, a set of tools, and a model. You can configure all three from the agent’s settings page.

Configure the agent

From Team → [Agent Name] → Settings:
SettingWhat it does
ModelWhich AI model the agent uses (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus)
ToolsWhat the agent can do (web search, code execution, file writes)
ScheduleOptional cron schedule for proactive tasks
MemoryWhether the agent remembers past conversations

Choosing a model

ModelBest forCost
Claude Haiku 4.5Quick replies, summaries, triage$
Claude Sonnet 4.6Most tasks — balanced speed and capability$$
Claude Opus 4.6Complex reasoning, long-form writing$$$
The Model Router can handle this automatically — routing each task to the right model based on what it is.

Connect to Discord

See the full Discord setup guide, but the short version:
  1. Go to Settings → Channels → Discord
  2. Click Connect Discord
  3. Follow the wizard to create a bot and paste the token
  4. Invite the bot to your server using the generated invite link
  5. Message the bot — it should respond

Give the agent a task

Once connected, you can delegate tasks directly in Discord:
@Mike research the top 5 competitors to Notion and summarize their pricing
@Scout find recent news about OpenAI this week
Agents respond in the same channel. Long tasks update with progress messages.
