FAQ — openclaw agents documentation
Are OpenClaw 'agents' the same as LLM agents?
No. OpenClaw agents are stateful event handlers. LLM inference is optional.
Can agents communicate with each other?
Yes, via the internal event bus using ctx.broadcast().
Where do I register a new agent?
In openclaw.config.js under the agents array.
