# Providers hub
# Chat Providers
This hub covers **model providers** (LLMs) and **messaging/chat providers** (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc).
For model selection rules, see [/concepts/models](/concepts/models). For the full provider catalog, see
[/concepts/model-providers](/concepts/model-providers).
Clawdbot can talk to you on any chat app you already use. Each provider connects via the Gateway.
Text is supported everywhere; media and reactions vary by provider.
