How long does it take to set up MyOpenClaw?

Your personal AI assistant is ready in 60 seconds. Simply pick a username, and we handle everything else - provisioning, SSL, and configuration.

What messaging platforms does MyOpenClaw support?

MyOpenClaw supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, and more. Connect all your channels from one unified dashboard.

Do I need technical knowledge to use MyOpenClaw?

No! MyOpenClaw is designed for non-technical users. Zero DevOps required - we handle all the infrastructure, updates, and security.

Can I get my own custom subdomain?

Yes! Every user gets their own subdomain: yourname.myopenclaw.cloud with automatic SSL certificate.

What happens if I want to cancel?

You can cancel anytime. There are no long-term contracts or hidden fees. Your data remains accessible until the end of your billing period.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a chat interface you visit. OpenClaw is an autonomous AI agent that lives on your messaging apps and acts on your behalf. It can manage files, run code, browse the web, and integrate with your tools. It remembers everything across conversations and works 24/7.

What happened to Clawdbot and Moltbot?

OpenClaw was previously known as Clawdbot, and before that, Moltbot. The project has evolved significantly: same open-source community, much more powerful software. MyOpenClaw.cloud supports the latest version.

Do I need my own API key?

Yes, you'll need an API key from an AI provider like Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. This takes about 2 minutes to set up and gives you full control over your AI usage and costs. We walk you through it during onboarding.

Connect WhatsApp

From your dashboard, click "Connect WhatsApp". You'll see a QR code. Open WhatsApp on your phone, go to Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device, and scan the code.

How it works: Your WhatsApp stays on your phone. OpenClaw connects as a linked device, just like WhatsApp Web. No separate phone number needed.

Start chatting with your AI

That's it! Open any WhatsApp conversation and start messaging your AI. You can configure which chats it responds to: all messages, only when mentioned, or specific contacts only.

Try saying:

"What's on my calendar today?"
"Remind me to call mom at 5pm"
"Summarize my last 10 emails"

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate phone number?

No. OpenClaw connects to your existing WhatsApp account as a linked device, just like WhatsApp Web. Your regular WhatsApp continues to work normally.

Can other people see my AI assistant?

Only if you want them to. You control which chats the AI responds to. It can be private (only you), or you can enable it in group chats too.

Is my chat data private?

Yes. Your OpenClaw instance is isolated. Your conversations are processed on your dedicated server, not shared with anyone else.

What can the AI do beyond chatting?

With ClawHub skills, your AI can manage calendars, send emails, control smart home devices, browse the web, and much more.
