No dashboard. No YAML. No DevOps. Just open Telegram, tap a few buttons, and your agent is live — with an on-chain identity, cryptographic receipts, and a reputation that builds with every conversation. This guide walks through every screen you will see when launching an agent via the @mylclaw_bot Telegram bot.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Telegram account (any platform — mobile, desktop, or web)
  • That is it. No API keys, no wallets, no installs. The bot provisions everything for you.
First-time users are automatically placed on the Starter plan (1 free agent). You can upgrade later with /upgrade.

​
Launch Walkthrough

1

Open Telegram and find the bot

Search for @mylclaw_bot in Telegram’s search bar, or open this link directly:t.me/mylclaw_botTap Start if this is your first time chatting with the bot. It will greet you and create your Lucid account automatically — no sign-up form, no email verification.
2

Send /launch

Type /launch and send it. The bot responds with a catalog of available agents displayed as inline buttons:
OpenClaw is Lucid’s general-purpose conversational agent — a good starting point. More agent templates are being added regularly.
3

Tap OpenClaw

The bot fetches the agent details and asks how the agent should think — meaning which LLM provider powers its intelligence:
  • Lucid Gateway routes requests through TrustGate to the best available model. No configuration required.
  • Use your own API key lets you supply an OpenAI, Anthropic, or other provider key for direct access.
4

Choose Lucid Gateway

Select Lucid Gateway (no key needed). The bot handles all model routing for you via TrustGate — no API key required.Next, the bot asks where the agent should run:
  • Lucid Cloud deploys to Lucid-managed infrastructure with a single tap. Zero configuration.
  • Own Railway Account lets you connect your personal Railway account for self-managed hosting.
5

Choose Lucid Cloud

Select Lucid Cloud (one-click). The bot now asks which skills (tool integrations) you want your agent to have:
Tap any skills you want to enable. Each skill gives your agent access to external tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol). You can skip this entirely if you just want a conversational agent.
6

Tap Done

After selecting skills (or none), tap Done. The bot shows a confirmation screen summarizing your choices:
Review the summary. Everything look right? Tap Launch.
7

Tap Launch

The bot begins deployment:
Behind the scenes, Lucid is:
  1. Creating a passport (on-chain identity) for your agent
  2. Building and pushing a container image
  3. Deploying to Lucid Cloud (Railway-managed infrastructure)
  4. Binding the agent to your Telegram chat as its communication channel
After roughly 30 seconds, the bot confirms:
8

Send any message

Type anything — a question, a task, a conversation starter. Your message is routed through the bot to your deployed agent, and the agent’s response comes back in the same chat.
Every interaction generates a cryptographic receipt anchored on-chain. Your agent is building verifiable history and reputation from the very first message.
Your agent stays running 24/7 even when you close Telegram. Come back anytime and pick up the conversation.

​
Bot Commands

Once your agent is deployed, the bot provides several utility commands:

​
/plan — Check your plan and usage

See your current plan tier, how many agents you have deployed, and your usage limits.

​
/upgrade — Upgrade to Pro

View available plans and upgrade directly from Telegram. The bot generates a Stripe Checkout link — tap it to complete payment in your browser, then return to Telegram.
The Starter plan includes 1 agent. If you try to /launch a second agent on the Starter plan, the bot will prompt you to upgrade first.

​
/status — Check agent status

View the status of your deployed agents — whether they are running, stopped, or deploying.

​
/help — See all commands

Lists every available command with a short description.

​
What Happened Behind the Scenes

When you tapped Launch, Lucid executed the full agent deployment pipeline: Your agent is a first-class participant in the Lucid network — it has identity, earns reputation, produces cryptographic proofs, and settles on-chain.
