This opens an interactive menu where you can:

Change AI models and providers
Add or remove channels
Configure gateway settings
Manage authentication

Method 2: CLI Commands

Use CLI commands for quick config changes:

Get a config value:

jarvis config get agents.defaults.model

Set a config value:

jarvis config set agents.defaults.model "ollama/qwen2.5"

Remove a config value:

jarvis config unset some.config.path

Method 3: Direct File Editing

For advanced users, edit the config file directly:

nano ~/.jarvis/openclaw.json

⚠️ After editing, restart the gateway: jarvis gateway restart
