Common questions about OpenClaw configuration
How do I configure OpenClaw models?
With ClawDoc, you drag models from the sidebar onto your agent config canvas. Choose a primary model, fallback, and heartbeat model visually — then click Apply. No JSON editing needed. Without ClawDoc, you edit the openclaw.json file manually.
Why is my OpenClaw so expensive?
Common causes: using an expensive model (like Opus) for heartbeat checks, oversized bootstrap files (SOUL.md, MEMORY.md) that add tokens to every message, or missing prompt caching. ClawDoc's Cost Optimizer and Config Diagnosis can identify exactly where your money goes.
How do OpenClaw memory layers work?
OpenClaw has multiple memory layers: SOUL.md (persistent personality), USER.md (user preferences), MEMORY.md (accumulated knowledge), and session context. Each gets injected into every message, consuming tokens. ClawDoc's Architecture Guide visualizes all layers and shows their token cost impact.
What's the best model for OpenClaw in 2026?
It depends on your use case and budget. Claude Sonnet 4.6 offers the best quality-to-cost ratio for most users. Haiku 3.5 is great for budget setups and heartbeat. Use ClawDoc's Model Wizard to get a personalized recommendation based on your specific needs.
How to fix OpenClaw slow response?
Slow responses usually come from: oversized context (check your bootstrap files), wrong model selection, missing fallback configuration, or network issues between your server and the API. ClawDoc's Diagnosis tool checks all of these automatically.
