Advanced Options & Capabilities

Everything Sired can do, explained in plain language. No jargon—just what it means for you in the real world.

Where does your agent run?

Your agent can run in a few different places. Pick based on what matters to you.

Sired Cloud

What it means: We host your agent on our servers. You get a working agent in seconds—no setup, no server to manage.

Best for: Most people. Fastest way to go from idea to live agent.

Choose this if: You want zero setup and don't care where the AI runs.

OpenFang (run on your own server)

What it means: Your agent runs on your infrastructure. You install OpenFang (free, one command), point Sired at it, and all the AI processing happens on your side.

Best for: Privacy, compliance, cost control, or teams that already run their own AI.

Choose this if: You need data to stay in your environment, or you have your own models and want to use them.

Export for OpenClaw (download and run locally)

What it means: You download your agent as a zip file and run it on your own computer or server using OpenClaw. No Sired required after export.

Best for: Full control, air-gapped environments, or developers who want to tweak everything.

Choose this if: You want to own the whole stack and run it wherever you like.

Your agent's link (webhook)

What is it?

A special URL that triggers your agent. Send a POST request with a message, and your agent runs and replies. That's it.

In the real world: Use this URL in Zapier, Make, n8n, or any automation tool. "When X happens, tell my agent to do Y." Your agent becomes a step in your workflow.

Example: New lead in your CRM → Zapier hits the link → Agent drafts a personalized follow-up and emails it.

How can people talk to your agent?

Web chat

Built in. Anyone with the link can chat with your agent in the browser. No extra setup.

Telegram

Your agent becomes a Telegram bot. Users message it like any bot. Easiest external channel—you just paste a bot token from BotFather.

Best for: Individuals, small teams, or anyone who already uses Telegram.

Discord

Your agent joins a Discord server. Users type /chat to talk to it. Takes a few more steps than Telegram.

Best for: Communities, gaming, or teams that live in Discord.

SMS

Your agent can receive and reply to text messages. Requires platform-level setup (Twilio or Vonage) by an admin.

Best for: Businesses that need SMS support or field teams without apps.

Run on a schedule

What it does

Your agent runs automatically—every day, hour, or on a custom schedule. You set a prompt (e.g. "Summarize top 5 AI news") and the agent does it on the schedule.

Example: Daily 9am: "Check my calendar and email me today's plan."

What file types can I get?

Today

Agents can generate text, summaries, and structured responses in chat. Some tools produce markdown or HTML for reports.

Editable everyday formats

Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), and PDF. Open in the apps you already use—edit, share, print. No need to copy from a chat or convert from markdown.

We're working on making deliverables come out as the file types you actually use day to day.

API keys & developer options

When you need them

If you're building your own app or automation, you'll use an API key to call Sired from code. The web UI doesn't need one—you sign in with email.

For Devs: Get started in the menu walks you through creating an organization and API key. Use it when you're ready to integrate Sired into Zapier, custom scripts, or other tools.
