An open-source AI assistant that runs 24/7 on dedicated infrastructure. It can triage email, schedule meetings, draft replies, monitor Slack, and automate workflows across your tools — proactively, without you asking. Think of it as a digital employee that never sleeps.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. We handle everything — you don't touch a terminal or write any code. Many of our customers are non-technical founders and executives. After setup, you talk to your bot through Telegram (or Slack/WhatsApp) just like texting an assistant.

Do I need to be in Australia?

No. Most customers are remote — we set everything up over a video call regardless of where you are. We have customers across Australia, India, Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, and beyond. In-person setup is available in Sydney, Mumbai, and Dubai.

Didn't OpenAI acquire OpenClaw?

Yes — and it validates the product. OpenClaw remains open-source, and the core innovations (always-on agents, heartbeats, cron jobs) are now table stakes that every major AI company is building toward. We'll continue supporting OpenClaw and any successor frameworks.

Can't I just set it up myself?

You can — it's open source. But every self-install we've seen has security gaps: exposed credentials, no audit trail, no sandbox. The installation is straightforward; the hardening is where most teams need help. If you've already set it up, we'll audit your security and fix what's missing.

What's included in implementation?

VPS or Mac Mini provisioning, security hardening (Docker sandbox, firewall, exec allowlists), Composio OAuth middleware setup, email and calendar integration, up to 3 workflows, documentation, and 14-day hypercare. You go live same day with a working bot you can message on Telegram.

What happens after I pay?

We reach out within 48 hours to schedule your kickoff call and create a dedicated Slack channel. The kickoff (20–45 min) covers your requirements. Then we do a live setup session (1–3 hrs) where your bot goes live. You're chatting with it the same day.

Is OpenClaw safe to run?

It's an AI with access to your email and calendar — so security is critical. We use Composio so the bot never sees your raw credentials, start with read-only permissions, configure Docker sandboxing, and give you an instant kill switch to revoke any integration.

What if the bot goes rogue?

We start with minimal permissions — read-only email, no send capability initially. The sandbox prevents arbitrary code execution. Composio gives you a kill switch: revoke any integration instantly from their dashboard. We expand access gradually as you build trust.

What about ongoing maintenance?

OAuth tokens expire, OpenClaw ships updates monthly, integrations break, workflows drift. Implementation includes 14-day hypercare. For ongoing monitoring, updates, and support, Managed Care keeps everything running so your team doesn't have to think about it.

Most customers use a cloud VPS ($5–10/mo) — more secure, easier to maintain, and we handle it remotely. Mac Mini is for teams that need iMessage integration or prefer owning the hardware (~$600 at cost).

Do you do multi-agent deployments?

Yes — this is the common case for 4–50 employee teams. We'll help decide which roles need their own agent vs shared workflows. Example: a CEO bot for email/calendar, a Sales bot for CRM and outreach, and a Finance bot for invoices and reporting.

OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework that runs 24/7 on dedicated infrastructure. Unlike chatbots, it acts proactively — checking your email, calendar, and connected tools every 30 minutes and taking action without you asking.

Is OpenClaw open source?

Yes. OpenClaw is fully open-source. You can self-host it on any VPS or Mac Mini. SetupClaw handles the deployment, security hardening, and ongoing maintenance for teams that don't want to manage it themselves.

Explainer

What is OpenClaw?

An open-source AI agent that works 24/7 — without you asking it to.

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant framework designed to run continuously on dedicated infrastructure. Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, which only respond when you talk to them, OpenClaw is proactive — it wakes up on a schedule, checks your email and calendar, takes action, and reports back.

Think of it less like a chatbot and more like a digital employee that never sleeps. It can triage your inbox, draft replies for your review, prep you for meetings, summarise Slack threads, update your CRM, and dozens of other tasks — all without you lifting a finger.

OpenClaw was built by the team behind openclaw.ai and featured in MacStories, Fast Company, and IBM.

Frequently asked questions

Is OpenClaw free?

OpenClaw itself is free and open-source. You pay for a VPS to host it ($5–10/month) and optionally for a professional setup service like SetupClaw to deploy and configure it securely.

How is OpenClaw different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT responds when you open it and type. OpenClaw runs in the background 24/7, checks your email and calendar on a schedule, and takes action proactively — without you initiating anything.

Do I need technical knowledge to use OpenClaw?

To self-install, yes — you'll need to set up a VPS, SSH, Node.js, Docker, and security hardening. With SetupClaw, no technical knowledge is needed. We handle everything; you just talk to your bot on Telegram.

Is OpenClaw safe?

Yes, when deployed correctly. We use Composio for secure OAuth (your bot never sees raw credentials), Docker sandboxing, firewall hardening, and read-only permissions by default. Most self-installs skip these steps — which is why we exist.
