# Claw

> Meet Claw, your always-on personal AI assistant for research, messaging, and automation.

Claw is your personal AI assistant built into Dopamine.
Unlike custom agents you build, Claw is always available and pre-configured to help you with everyday tasks.

## What Claw can do

Claw can:

* answer questions and research topics
* draft messages, emails, and summaries
* help you build and configure agents
* connect to messaging apps (Telegram, WhatsApp)
* run tasks on a schedule
* access your connected integrations

## How to use Claw

Click **Claw** in the sidebar to open it. Just start chatting.

Example prompts:

```
Summarize this article: [paste link]
```

```
Help me write instructions for a lead generation agent.
```

```
What did I have scheduled for today?
```

## Messaging integrations

Connect Claw to your messaging apps and talk to it from anywhere.

| Platform     | What you can do                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| **Telegram** | Send messages to Claw from your phone |
| **WhatsApp** | Chat with Claw on WhatsApp            |

To connect: go to **Integrations** and add Telegram or WhatsApp.

Claw becomes much more useful once you connect [integrations](/integrations) and [triggers](/triggers) that match your daily routine.

## Scheduling

Ask Claw to run tasks on a schedule:

```
Every morning at 8am, find the top AI news and send me a summary on Telegram.
```

Claw will create the trigger automatically.

## Claw vs custom agents

|                  | Claw                      | Custom agents                               |
| ---------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Setup**        | None — always ready       | You configure name, instructions, and tools |
| **Purpose**      | General-purpose assistant | Purpose-built for a specific workflow       |
| **Availability** | Always in the sidebar     | In your Agents list                         |

<Tip>
  Ask Claw to help you write instructions for a new agent — it's great at that.
