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.

How does billing work?

Billing is monthly. You're charged when you subscribe, and your plan renews automatically each month. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard — no hidden fees or penalties.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes. You can switch between Starter, Pro, and Business plans at any time from your dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades apply at the end of your current billing period.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our payment partner Polar. All transactions are processed securely with industry-standard encryption.

Is there a free trial?

There's no free trial, but you can cancel anytime with no penalties. Your instance stays active until the end of your billing period. At $29/month for Starter, there's minimal risk to try it out.

Is this an official OpenClaw service?

MyOpenClaw.cloud is an independent managed hosting service. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenClaw open-source project. We provide hosting, support, and a streamlined experience on top of the open-source software.

Day 4: Connect Your Digital Life

"An AI that can only chat versus one that can read your emails, manage your calendar, and search the web — the difference isn't IQ, it's hands. Today we're giving it hands."

From "Can Talk" to "Can Do"

You now have an assistant that knows you and has a personality. But it's still essentially a chat partner — you ask, it answers. Today we change that by connecting it to your actual digital life.

After today, your assistant will be able to:

Read and draft emails for you

Check and manage your calendar

Search the web for current information

Browse any webpage you send it

Connecting Gmail

OpenClaw connects to Gmail via the gog skill (Google OAuth Gateway). Setup takes about 3 minutes:

Go to Integrations in your MyOpenClaw dashboard

Find Google Workspace and click Connect

Authorize with your Google account

Select Gmail and Calendar permissions

Once connected, you can say things like:

"Summarize my unread emails from today"

"Draft a reply to the email from Sarah about the Q4 report"

"Search my inbox for anything from Acme Corp last month"

Connecting Google Calendar

Google Calendar connects alongside Gmail via the same OAuth flow. Once authorized:

"What's on my calendar today?"

"Schedule a 30-minute call with Alex next Tuesday afternoon"

"Remind me about the all-hands meeting one hour before"

Pro tip: Tell your assistant your typical working hours in USER.md so it only schedules events at appropriate times.

Enabling Web Search

Web search is one of the most powerful capabilities:

Get a free API key from Brave Search

Add it in your MyOpenClaw dashboard under Integrations → Brave Search

With web search enabled:

"What's the latest news about OpenAI?"

"Find the best restaurants near me in London for a team dinner"

"Research competitors for a product I'm building"

Browser Capabilities

The browser skill lets your assistant visit any URL and extract information:

"Go to this job posting and summarize the requirements"

"Check if this product is still available at the URL I sent"

"Read this article and pull out the key statistics"

Send any URL in chat and ask your assistant to read it.

What's Possible Now

With these four capabilities wired up, your assistant can handle an enormous range of real tasks. Test it with something from your actual to-do list — the results are often surprising.

Tomorrow: the skill ecosystem. Think of it as an App Store for AI capabilities.
