OpenClaw setup on Windows with Telegram and GOG

This beginner tutorial walks through a local OpenClaw installation on Windows using an administrator PowerShell terminal. The presenter identifies Node.js and Git as prerequisites; the installer detects Node.js 22.14 in the demonstration. Quick-start onboarding connects OpenAI Codex through ChatGPT OAuth and selects 5.3 Codex. The agent runs on the PC, but this setup still uses external model and Google services rather than offline inference. The presenter also says to keep the gateway terminal running.

Telegram provides the chat interface. The walkthrough creates a bot with BotFather, enters its token and approves pairing through the OpenClaw dashboard. It then installs the GOG skill from ClawHub through a chat request. Google Workspace access requires a Cloud Console project, enabled service APIs, an OAuth consent configuration, a test user and desktop-app credentials. The examples retrieve important emails and create or read calendar meetings.

The workspace section describes files the presenter calls agent.md, soul.md, user.md and memory.md as places for rules, personality, user details and longer-term memory. Requests to change the coding language and tone initially report failed edits; the presenter retries them and tests the responses.

The final section explains fixed-time cron jobs and periodic heartbeat monitoring, with a 30-minute email-check example. The presenter warns that repeated checks consume model tokens and can drain credits.
