An open-source AI assistant that lives on a server and connects to your chat apps. Think ChatGPT, but it can actually do things — check your email, manage your calendar, write code, browse the web, and remember everything.
Discord
Telegram
Signal
WhatsApp
iMessage
OpenClaw is free and open source. We just make it stupid easy to get running.

FAQ
What is OpenClaw?
An open-source AI assistant that lives on a server and connects to your chat apps. It can check your email, manage your calendar, write code, browse the web, and remember everything across conversations. It's like having a really smart intern who never sleeps.
What do I need to run this myself?
Any Mac (Intel or Apple Silicon), Windows PC (10/11 with WSL), or Linux machine. Even that old laptop collecting dust works — OpenClaw is lightweight. Leave it plugged in and connected to WiFi, and you've got a 24/7 AI assistant. A $5/mo VPS works too if you'd rather run it in the cloud.
Do I need to keep my computer on?
Yes — your assistant lives on that machine. If it sleeps, your assistant sleeps. That's why we offer managed plans — we keep it running 24/7 so you don't have to.
Why not just set it up myself for free?
You absolutely can! OpenClaw is open source. Our $49 script just saves you the afternoon of googling error messages. And if you'd rather skip the terminal entirely, our managed plans exist.
Is my data safe?
Your instance is yours alone — dedicated server, not shared. We never access your data, conversations, or API keys. You get full VNC access to your machine.
What if I want to leave?
Export your data anytime. Cancel and we keep your instance running for 7 days so you can migrate. No lock-in, no guilt trips.
Can I use Opus instead of Sonnet?
On the Fully Managed plan, add Opus for +$25/mo. On BYOK and Self-Install, use whatever model your API key supports.
What's an API key?
It's like a password that lets your assistant talk to the AI. You get one from Anthropic (the company behind Claude) at console.anthropic.com. Takes 2 minutes. Our Fully Managed plan skips this — we provide the AI.
Can I re-run the install script?
Yes. The installer is idempotent. It checks what is already installed, avoids overwriting your config without asking, and backs up files before changes.
What happens after managed checkout?
We automatically provision your dedicated cloud instance. Most setups complete in around 10 minutes, and you receive connection details by email.
Is there a refund policy?
Self-Install includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Managed plans are monthly and can be canceled anytime, with time to export your data.
What updates are included?
Self-Install gets lifetime installer updates through the private repository. Managed plans include automatic runtime and infrastructure updates.
