Gateway

In OpenClaw/agent architectures (and broader API systems), a central entry point or router that manages incoming requests, handles authentication, routing to agents/tools, session management, and security (e.g., rate limiting, logging). In digital marketing, gateways enable secure, scalable integrations—e.g., routing messages from WhatsApp/Telegram to the right AI agent for lead handling, or acting as a proxy for multi-model LLM calls in content/automation pipelines.
