Operator runs your personal agent on OpenClaw, the open source agent framework, and points it straight at Giphy. You message the agent on Telegram or Discord, tell it what you need in plain language, and it operates Giphy on its own, running actions like giphy analytics register, giphy categories, giphy: get category by id.

Your agent reaches Giphy directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.
