So, I got OpenClaw installed, which was a terrible pain in the ass until I switched to Linux, then it worked pretty much right away.

You can tell it to do things using a chat gateway, but it only supported protocols I didn't want to use, like IRC or Telegram or Discord.

I pointed it at documentation and told it to implement a delta.chat gateway.

first working version: under 5 minutes
final fully-working version: under one hour.

openclaw provided its own fix iteration loop and was able to see its own errors and fix them itself. I wrote/read no code.

I told it to prepare the code to be redistributed. I'll be auditing the code for bugs and then submitting it back to them after this conference.

@sun Did basicly the same thing for XMPP. Using XMPP is a security win because I control the XMPP server, so I'm not depending on openclaw security to decide who can talk to my bot. I can just stop that account from federating.

@fastfinge very nice. I do actually run an xmpp server but the image attachments are always broken + I didn't want to raise the size limit for everyone, so I just went with my friend's delta.chat.

the telegram stuff icked me out, it uses some random unknown person's bot management service? how long until that gets pwned

@fastfinge next I'm working on a way to do email better so I don't have to use an api key and gmail.

@sun I'm thinking about tempmail for that. I don't really want my bot sending unsupervised emails, but tempmail has an API so it can set itself up as many inboxes as it wants. github.com/elbunuelo/tempmail
