Frequently Asked Questions

NOW SUPPORT: OpenClaw · Telegram

What is JuliAnchor in plain language?

It is a trust layer for your AI. It watches for logic drift, logs what happened, and gives you weekly reports so you can keep your AI honest and aligned with your intent.

Is JuliAnchor an AI model or chatbot?

No. JuliAnchor is an OpenClaw plugin plus a local service. It works alongside any model you already use.

Which platforms are supported right now?

Currently JuliAnchor supports the OpenClaw runtime and Telegram. Other runtimes and channels are planned but not available yet.

What do I need to install?

You install the JuliAnchor OpenClaw plugin and run the local plugin server. Once running, the agent can send logs to your local machine.

How do I uninstall?

Stop the local plugin server, remove the JuliAnchor plugin from OpenClaw, and delete the local data folder (default: ~/.julianchor or the path set in JULIANCHOR_HOME).

Do I need to code to use it?

No. The setup is a few copy-paste commands. You can run it on a Mac Mini or any personal server you control.

What data leaves my device?

By default, none. Logs and reports stay local. Optional features like email verification or third-party audits use your own keys and send data directly from your device to the provider.

Can you see my private conversations?

Never. The protocol uses a "Blind Anchor" approach. Your actual chats stay on your hardware. Only local hashes and summaries are stored unless you explicitly enable external services.

What is a Soul Contract?

It is a simple JSON contract that defines your rules: risk profile, cooldowns, and drift thresholds. You can edit it anytime.

What is SOUL.md?

It is an optional text file that describes the intended persona and values of your agent. It improves drift detection by providing a baseline.

What is a Thought Chain and do you store it?

If your agent exposes reasoning metadata, it can be logged locally. If not, only the final response is stored. You can also disable reasoning capture in the plugin config.

Will it slow down my AI?

Minimal impact. The plugin makes one local HTTP call before sending the final message. There is no remote latency.

What is the Weekly Trust Report?

It is a weekly summary of drift, anomalies, and stability. The report is saved locally and can be emailed to you automatically.

How do alerts work?

When drift is detected or a report fails, JuliAnchor writes a local alert and can send you a notification by email or Telegram.

What if I do not want Telegram alerts?

You can disable Telegram notifications with a single environment setting. Email alerts can stay on or be disabled separately.

What if I do not configure email?

The report still generates locally, but delivery will fail and an alert will be logged. Email is required only if you want automatic delivery.

Where are my files stored?

All data lives in your local folder, defaulting to ~/.julianchor. You can change it via JULIANCHOR_HOME.

Can I delete everything?

Yes. The kill switch deletes local logs, contracts, and audits in one command. You are always in full control.

Is it free? What is paid?

Local-Core is free. The paid tier is reserved for advanced cross-audits, chain proofs, and other premium features. The core safety features do not require payment.

What happens if the plugin is not running?

Nothing is recorded. Your AI will still work, but no logs or reports can be generated until the plugin is back online.
