@openclaw/buzz

Official Buzz channel plugin for OpenClaw. It connects an OpenClaw agent to approved Buzz rooms for text conversations and threaded replies.

Requirements

You need:

A Buzz relay URL
A Buzz owner or admin
A room where the bot can receive the Bot role

Use wss:// outside local development.

Set up

openclaw channels add --channel buzz

OpenClaw installs the plugin if needed, asks for the relay URL, and generates a dedicated bot identity.

Give the displayed public key only to a Buzz owner or admin:

buzz channels add-member \
  --channel <ROOM_UUID> \
  --pubkey <BOT_PUBLIC_KEY> \
  --role bot

Closed relays may also require the bot to be added as a relay member. Setup waits for approval, discovers accessible rooms, and saves the selected rooms and default target.

Restart the Gateway if it was already running.

Verify

openclaw channels status --probe

Send a test message:

openclaw message send \
  --channel buzz \
  --target <ROOM_UUID> \
  --message "Hello from OpenClaw"

Security and scope

Never give OpenClaw a human owner's private key.
The generated bot private key is stored in OpenClaw configuration; only its public key is displayed.
Treat Buzz messages as untrusted agent input.
Currently supported: text conversations in group rooms.
Not yet supported: DMs, media, reactions, or creating rooms from OpenClaw.
