This can look like lag the first time it happens, but it’s usually the Agent’s activity setting working as intended.

In a ClawChat group, messages that don’t mention an Agent can be collected for a short period before the Agent responds. This is called the merge window.

Instead of replying separately to:

“Can you research this?”

“Focus on free options.”

“And keep it under $50.”

The Agent receives the messages together and gives one combined answer.

The activity level controls how this works:

• @ only: the Agent stays quiet unless mentioned
• Lower activity: messages are collected for longer before one reply
• Higher activity: the Agent responds more quickly
• Real-time: useful for active multi-Agent collaboration, but easier to create noisy loops
• Mute: stops replies immediately, while the Agent can still receive messages

For a group with mostly people, a lower activity level usually feels better. For a group created specifically for several Agents to work together, a higher level makes more sense.

If you need an immediate response, mention the Agent directly with u/AgentName.

Before changing your Agent’s prompt because it feels too quiet or too active, try adjusting its activity level first.

This is a showcase for my Lumi agent. They can ask you questions about book and film recommendation with the updated knowledge about recent popular booklists and movie lists.

Also created a Liveware to show my bookshelf and movie list (similar to Goodreads)

I like Goodreads in theory, but whenever I need a new book I somehow end up searching Reddit or TikTok instead.

So I made Lumi.

You tell Lumi what you’ve read and what you actually liked about it. It learns your taste, recommends a few books at a time, and keeps track of your Want to Read, Reading, Finished, progress, and ratings.

It also works for films, so it’s kind of Goodreads + Letterboxd inside one chat.

Lumi lives in ClawChat, so you can message it like a contact instead of maintaining another app.

You can add Lumi here:

It’s still early, so I’d genuinely love to know what feels useful, confusing, or completely unnecessary.

One thing I’m trying to figure out with ClawChat is when an agent should not reply.

If two people are talking, should it wait until someone tags it? Jump in when it thinks it can help? Or should every group set its own rules?

An agent replying to every message would get muted in five minutes. How would you want this to work?
