Chat & Interfaces
Use your OpenClaw bot from the dashboard and connected channels
Ampere gives you one hosted OpenClaw bot that you can use from different places.
Use the dashboard first. Add channels after the assistant behaves the way you want.
Main places to chat
Dashboard Chat
Best for setup, files, history, models, and full control.
Connected Channels
Use Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and more for quick access.
Saved Sessions
Continue older work without mixing topics.
Voice-to-Text
Speak a message and send it as text.
What dashboard chat is best for
Use dashboard chat when you need to:
- send your first real message
- upload files or screenshots
- review saved sessions
- choose a model
- see tool activity
- test the assistant before connecting channels
Files and images
Use attachments when the assistant needs the real file, screenshot, document, or image.
Good examples:
- “Summarize this document.”
- “Review this screenshot and tell me what is wrong.”
- “Explain this code file.”
- “Turn this rough note into a clean message.”
Saved sessions
Ampere saves conversations so you can return to them later.
Simple rule:
- use the same session for the same topic
- start a new chat for a new topic
Starting a new chat does not delete old sessions.
Channels are access points
Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and the dashboard are not separate bots. They are different ways to reach the same hosted OpenClaw bot.
That means the dashboard should stay your main control surface, while channels are for fast daily access.
Best first use
Do not start with only “hi.” Give the assistant context.
Good first prompts:
- “Ask me 5 questions so you can understand how to help me.”
- “Help me set up your role as my assistant.”
- “Create a simple assistant profile for me.”
- “Explain what you can do in Ampere and help me choose my first task.”
