Choosing an agent
The four agents you can deploy on Sokko, and which one fits your job.
When you create an agent you pick a runtime — the kind of agent it is. There are four, and they are good at different things. You can run more than one, and you can always spin up another later.
OpenClaw
A chat assistant that lives in your messaging apps, with a big library of ready-made skills. Good first pick if you want a helper on Telegram.
Hermes
A research and memory agent that gets better at a task each time it does it.
Paperclip
A group of agents that work together like a small company, with roles, budgets, and an audit trail.
OpenSRE
An AI site-reliability engineer that watches your systems and helps when something breaks.
Quick comparison
| Agent | Best for | Signature strength |
|---|---|---|

What every agent gets
No matter which one you pick, an agent on Sokko:
- Runs around the clock and comes back on its own if it crashes.
- Gets its own private web page and terminal, open only to you and people you invite.
- Keeps its files and memory between restarts.
- Can use models you pay for with Sokko credits, or your own provider key (BYOK).
- Can connect to Telegram so you can talk to it from your phone.
