Your profile is stored on this server and used across sessions.

Chat

Voice Input Language

Used by speech-to-text when you dictate messages.

Auto-continue

Automatically resume the conversation when a rate limit clears.

Open Claude as terminal (TUI)

Render Claude sessions in an embedded `claude` terminal instead of Clay's chat UI. Keeps usage in the Interactive billing bucket (post 2026-06-15 Agent SDK split). Applies on the next session open.

Auto-approved commands

Extra patterns Clay should pre-approve in your ~/.claude/settings.json so TUI sessions don't prompt for them. One per line. Examples: Bash(npm test:*), Read, mcp__myserver__*. Clay's safe defaults (read-only tools, common git/ls/grep) are always applied on top and shown below for reference.

Mates

Specialist AI teammates with assigned roles and long-term memory across sessions. They carry context forward and push back when a session drifts. Use the built-ins or design your own.

Use Mates

Off hides every Mates surface in Clay. Existing Mates and their memory are preserved.

Email Accounts

Connect personal email accounts so your Mates can read, search, and send emails on your behalf. Credentials are encrypted and private to you.

Log Out

End your current session. You can sign back in anytime.

Model

Configure which model to use and how Claude behaves during sessions.

Model

Choose the Claude model to use. Larger models are slower but more capable.

Extended Context (Beta)

Enable 1M token context window for Sonnet models. Allows processing much larger codebases and files, but may increase latency.

1M Context

Mode

Controls how Claude handles tool use and file edits.

Effort

Controls how much thinking effort Claude puts into responses. Higher effort means longer, more thorough responses.

Thinking

Controls whether Claude shows its reasoning process. Budget mode lets you set a token limit.

Security

PIN Status

Require a 6-digit PIN to access the web UI.

-

Set PIN

Protect access to the web interface with a PIN code.

Notifications

Push Notifications

Receive push notifications when tasks complete.

Browser Alerts

Show browser notification alerts when tasks finish.

Sound

Play a sound when tasks are completed.

CLAUDE.md

Edit the global CLAUDE.md file. These instructions apply to all projects and sessions on this server.

This file is stored at ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Project-level CLAUDE.md files take precedence over this global file.

Environment

Define environment variables shared across all projects. Project-level variables take precedence over shared ones.

Storage

Image retention

Automatically delete chat images older than this period.

Restart

Restart the Clay daemon process. All active sessions will be briefly interrupted and clients will automatically reconnect.

Restart Daemon

Spawns a new daemon process and gracefully shuts down the current one.

Shutdown

Danger Zone

Shutting down the server will terminate all active sessions, disconnect all clients, and stop the Clay daemon process. This action cannot be undone.

Confirm Shutdown

Type shutdown below to confirm.

New Loop

Choose loop mode

Coding agent → Judge reviews → Done

Fail — retry

Each iteration is reviewed by a separate judge session that decides pass or fail. The coding agent does not see the judge's result. On fail, a fresh session retries from scratch. The loop ends on pass or when the max iteration count is reached. Best suited for tasks with clear success criteria, like making tests pass or matching a spec.

Who writes the instructions?

Choose who provides each file.

PROMPT The instructions the coding agent follows each iteration.

JUDGE The criteria used to evaluate each iteration as pass or fail.

Create a Mate

✨

Meet your Mate.

AI agents are built for tasks. A Mate is built for you.

Your Mate remembers what you've talked about, learns how you think, and grows with you over time. It's not just what it can do. It's what it learns about you.

1 Pick a relationship type

2 Have a short interview where your Mate gets to know you

3 Start talking

Mates run on Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex, your choice. No separate API keys or external services needed. Your conversations stay on your Clay server and are never stored elsewhere.

What kind of relationship?

Pick the role that best fits what you need. You can refine this later in the interview.

What will you do together?

Select one or more activities. These help shape the interview.

How should they communicate?

Pick the style that feels right. You can combine multiple.

Which model should power them?

You can switch this anytime from the mate's settings.
