fix(examples): phase-2 validation fixes for memory/knowledge API and token metrics (#1859)

* fix: correct TypeError in 3 example files by using proper parameter names

- Fix MemoryConfig(memory=...) → user_id=... in agent_centric_api.py
- Fix Session(memory=...) → user_id=... in session-example.py
- Fix build_context_for_task(memory=...) → user_id=... in memory-quality-example.py

+# Multi-Channel Bot Deployment Guide
+
+This guide explains how to set up multiple bots on the same platform (e.g., multiple Telegram bots) for different roles using PraisonAI, similar to Hermes-style AI workforces.
+
+## Overview
+
+PraisonAI supports running multiple bots on the same platform, each routing to different agents with specialized knowledge and capabilities. This is useful for:
+
+- **Role-based bots**: `@company_cfo_bot`, `@company_ops_bot`, `@company_content_bot`
+- **Department-specific agents**: Each with different knowledge brains and tool access
+- **Workflow separation**: Different bots handle different types of requests
+
+## Quick Start with Onboard Wizard
+
+The easiest way to set up multiple channels is using the onboard wizard:
+
+```bash
+praisonai onboard
+```
+
+The wizard now supports:
+1. **Multi-channel setup**: Add multiple bots for the same platform
+2. **Role-based naming**: Automatically generates `TELEGRAM_<ROLE>_BOT_TOKEN` environment variables
+3. **Agent routing**: Each channel routes to a different agent
+
+### Onboard Wizard Flow
+
+1. **Choose platform**: Start with your first platform (e.g., telegram)
+2. **Add more channels**: Wizard asks "Add another bot channel?"
+3. **Specify role**: Enter role name (e.g., "cfo", "ops", "content")
+4. **Configure tokens**: Each channel gets its own environment variable
+5. **Test connections**: Wizard tests each bot separately
+
+## Environment Variable Convention
+
+For multiple bots on the same platform, use this naming convention:
+
+| Channel | Environment Variable | Bot Purpose |
+|---------|---------------------|-------------|
+| `telegram_cfo` | `TELEGRAM_CFO_BOT_TOKEN` | CFO-related tasks |
+| `telegram_ops` | `TELEGRAM_OPS_BOT_TOKEN` | Operations tasks |
+| `telegram_content` | `TELEGRAM_CONTENT_BOT_TOKEN` | Content creation |
+| `telegram_support` | `TELEGRAM_SUPPORT_BOT_TOKEN` | Customer support |
+
+### Setting Up Tokens
+
+1. **Create bots in @BotFather**:
+   ```text
+   /newbot
+   Bot name: Company CFO Bot
+   Username: @company_cfo_bot
+   -> Copy token
+   
+   /newbot
+   Bot name: Company Ops Bot
+   Username: @company_ops_bot
+   -> Copy token
+   ```
+
+2. **Set environment variables**:
+   ```bash
+   export TELEGRAM_CFO_BOT_TOKEN="123456789:ABC..."
+   export TELEGRAM_OPS_BOT_TOKEN="987654321:DEF..."
+   export TELEGRAM_CONTENT_BOT_TOKEN="456789123:GHI..."
+   ```
+
+3. **Or use `~/.praisonai/.env`**:
+   ```env
+   TELEGRAM_CFO_BOT_TOKEN=123456789:ABC...
+   TELEGRAM_OPS_BOT_TOKEN=987654321:DEF...
+   TELEGRAM_CONTENT_BOT_TOKEN=456789123:GHI...
+   TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS=123456789,987654321
+   ```
+
+## Example Configuration
+
+See `multi-telegram-hermes-workforce.yaml` for a complete example.
+
+### Key Features
+
+1. **Multiple Channels**:
+   ```yaml
+   channels:
+     telegram_cfo:
+       platform: telegram
+       token: ${TELEGRAM_CFO_BOT_TOKEN}
+       routes:
+         default: cfo
+     
+     telegram_ops:
+       platform: telegram
+       token: ${TELEGRAM_OPS_BOT_TOKEN}
+       routes:
+         default: ops
+   ```
+
+2. **Specialized Agents**:
+   ```yaml
+   agents:
+     cfo:
+       instructions: "You are a CFO agent. Help with financial analysis..."
+       model: gpt-4o-mini
+     
+     ops:
+       instructions: "You are an ops agent. Help with system monitoring..."
+       model: gpt-4o-mini
+   ```
+
+## Validation with Doctor
+
+Use the doctor command to validate your multi-channel setup:
+
+```bash
+praisonai doctor
+```
+
+The doctor checks for:
+- ✅ **Unique tokens**: Each channel uses a different bot token
+- ✅ **Naming convention**: Follows `PLATFORM_ROLE_BOT_TOKEN` pattern  
+- ✅ **Missing tokens**: All referenced environment variables are set
+- ❌ **Duplicate tokens**: Same token used by multiple channels (fails)
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Start Gateway
+
+```bash
+# Start the multi-bot gateway
+praisonai gateway start --config multi-telegram-hermes-workforce.yaml
+
+# Or install as daemon
+praisonai onboard  # Wizard installs daemon automatically
+praisonai gateway status
+```
+
+### Verify Setup
+
+1. **Check health**: `curl http://127.0.0.1:8765/health`
+2. **View dashboard**: `praisonai claw` → http://127.0.0.1:8082
+3. **Test bots**: Send messages to each bot to verify routing
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Basic Multi-Role Setup
+```yaml
+# Single platform, multiple roles
+channels:
+  telegram_support:
+    token: ${TELEGRAM_SUPPORT_BOT_TOKEN}
+    routes:
+      default: support_agent
+  
+  telegram_sales:
+    token: ${TELEGRAM_SALES_BOT_TOKEN}
+    routes:
+      default: sales_agent
+```
+
+### Cross-Platform Workforce
+```yaml
+# Multiple platforms, multiple roles
+channels:
+  telegram_cfo:
+    platform: telegram
+    token: ${TELEGRAM_CFO_BOT_TOKEN}
+    routes:
+      default: cfo
+  
+  discord_ops:
+    platform: discord
+    token: ${DISCORD_OPS_BOT_TOKEN}
+    routes:
+      default: ops
+  
+  slack_content:
+    platform: slack
+    token: ${SLACK_CONTENT_BOT_TOKEN}
+    routes:
+      default: content
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **"Token is used by multiple channels"**
+   - Each bot needs its own unique token from @BotFather
+   - Check environment variables for duplicates
+
+2. **"Channel skipped - no token"**
+   - Set the environment variable: `export TELEGRAM_CFO_BOT_TOKEN="..."`
+   - Or update `~/.praisonai/.env`
+
+3. **"Bot not responding"**
+   - Verify token is correct: `praisonai doctor`
+   - Check bot is not already running elsewhere
+   - Ensure allowlist includes your user ID
+
+### Debugging Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check configuration
+praisonai doctor
+
+# View logs
+praisonai gateway logs
+
+# Test connection
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
+     http://127.0.0.1:8765/info
+```
+
+## Migration from Single-Bot Setup
+
+If you currently have a single bot setup, you can add more channels:
+
+1. **Run onboard wizard**: `praisonai onboard`
+2. **Add new channels**: Wizard will preserve existing setup
+3. **Update configuration**: New channels added to existing `bot.yaml`
+4. **Restart gateway**: `praisonai gateway restart`
+
+The wizard preserves backward compatibility with single-bot configurations.
