Why use managed OpenClaw hosting?

Running OpenClaw as your personal AI assistant requires careful setup of API credentials, messaging platform integration, and ongoing maintenance. OpenClaw Setup handles the infrastructure so you can focus on using your assistant.

  • No server management: We handle the OpenClaw gateway, updates, and monitoring for you.
  • Secure by default: Your API keys are encrypted and never exposed to your assistant runtime.
  • Multi-platform ready: Run your assistant on Telegram, Slack, or both simultaneously.
  • Free hosting: Bring your own API keys and run your personal AI assistant without hosting fees.
