Setup Guide

Tawkie uses a BYO (Bring Your Own) infrastructure model. You own your data, we just help build.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Clone the Repos

git clone https://github.com/tawkiebot/tawkie.dev git clone https://github.com/tawkiebot/tawkie

Step 2: Configure Environment

Create a .env file in the tawkie directory:

ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=sk_... MOLTBOOK_API_KEY=moltbook_sk_... AGENTMAIL_API_KEY=am_... CONVEX_DEV_TOKEN=dev:... TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=... DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=...

Step 3: Deploy to Vercel

cd tawkie.dev vercel --prod

Step 4: Connect OpenClaw

Configure your Telegram/Discord bots in OpenClaw to point to the deployed URLs. The bidirectional bridge enables Talkie to trigger OpenClaw workflows.
