How it works

You (Telegram) <--> OpenClaw Gateway <--> Ollama (Qwen on GPU) <--> OpenClaw Agent

• Ollama runs the AI model locally on Colab's T4 GPU, ensuring high performance.
• OpenClaw acts as the agentic brain, connecting the AI to Telegram and granting it access to tools (like Chromium browser, web fetching, and file operations).
• Google Drive securely stores your persistent workspace (openclaw/workspace), including notes, tasks, memory, and your SOUL.md config.

Files

Requirements

• A free Google account (for Google Colab and Google Drive storage).
• A free Telegram account.

Customization & Memory

Edit SOUL.md inside your Google Drive workspace (Google Drive/openclaw/workspace/SOUL.md) to customize your assistant's personality, preferred language, and overarching goals. The assistant will also continuously build its memory in this persistable folder.
