How It Works

1. Configure one or more channels in ~/.picoclaw/config.json under the channels key
2. Set "enabled": true for each channel you want to use
3. Run picoclaw gateway to start listening
4. The gateway handles all channels concurrently

Access Control

All channels support the allow_from field to restrict access to specific users:

{
  "channels": {
    "telegram": {
      "enabled": true,
      "token": "YOUR_TOKEN",
      "allow_from": ["123456789"]
    }
  }
}

Set allow_from to an empty array [] to allow all users.
