🚀 Clawdbot 2026.1.24: Expanding Connectivity and Intelligence

Clawdbot continues its rapid evolution with version 2026.1.24, introducing powerful new integrations and refinements that enhance user experience across messaging platforms and AI interactions.

🎉 Major Features

LINE Messaging Integration

Clawdbot now supports LINE's Messaging API with full-featured rich replies and quick reply capabilities. This addition opens the platform to millions of LINE users, enabling seamless conversational experiences with formatted responses and interactive elements. The plugin is fully registered in the HTTP registry for easy deployment.

Intelligent Text-to-Speech Enhancements

The TTS system receives significant upgrades with a new Edge provider fallback mechanism that requires no API keys. The system intelligently handles format failures with MP3 retry logic, ensuring reliable audio generation. Users can now configure auto modes (off/always/inbound/tagged) and override settings per-session using the /tts command, providing granular control over voice output behavior.

Universal Execution Approvals

Execution approvals have been democratized across all channels and plugins. Users can now approve sensitive operations directly in chat using the /approve command, eliminating the need for external approval workflows. This feature works consistently across Telegram, LINE, web interfaces, and all supported plugins.

✨ Enhanced Integrations

Provider Documentation Expansion

Ollama and Venice provider documentation has been significantly enhanced with comprehensive guides and cross-linked resources. Users can now easily navigate between provider options and understand integration requirements.

Telegram Improvements

Telegram users benefit from two key improvements: DM topics are now treated as separate sessions with stable history limits, and a new channels.telegram.linkPreview configuration option allows toggling of outbound link previews for better control over shared content.

Web Search Refinements

The web search tool now includes Brave's freshness filter parameter, enabling time-scoped search results for more relevant and current information retrieval.

🎨 User Interface Refinements

The Control UI dashboard receives a comprehensive design system refresh, featuring updated typography, refined color palettes, and improved spacing. These changes enhance visual clarity and navigation throughout the interface.

🔧 Developer and Operations Improvements

Gateway Configuration

The gateway tool now exposes config.patch for safe partial configuration updates with restart sentinels, enabling dynamic adjustments without full system redeployment.

Diagnostic Capabilities

New diagnostic flags provide targeted debug logging for configuration and environment overrides, streamlining troubleshooting processes.

Development Workflow

The project adds pre-commit hooks via prek and enables weekly Dependabot updates, strengthening code quality and dependency management.

📝 Comprehensive Documentation

This release includes substantial documentation improvements:

• Expanded FAQ covering migration strategies, scheduling, concurrency patterns, model recommendations, OpenAI subscription authentication, Raspberry Pi sizing, hackable installations, and SSL workarounds
• Installer Troubleshooting with verbose guidance for common setup issues
• macOS VM Guide featuring local and hosted deployment options plus VPS/nodes guidance
• AWS Bedrock Setup with detailed EC2 instance role configuration and IAM steps
• Updated Fly.io Guide with current best practices

🐛 Bug Fixes

The web UI receives critical fixes addressing layout overflow issues, scrolling behavior, and code block sizing. The Stop button now displays correctly during active runs, and the interface properly returns to New Session mode when idle.
