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?

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.

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 5: Unlock the Skill Tree

"If Day 4 was giving your assistant hands, today is handing it a whole toolbox. Screwdrivers, wrenches, power drills — grab what you need. That's the Skills system."

What Are Skills?

The App Store on your phone lets you install apps for specific needs — food delivery, navigation, video calling. The ClawHub skill marketplace is the same idea for your AI assistant.

Each skill adds a new capability:

weather — real-time weather forecasts

github — query repos, issues, and PRs

reddit — monitor subreddits and trending posts

notion — read and write to your Notion workspace

todoist — manage your task list

seo — keyword research and SERP analysis

Skills are open source, versioned, and pinned to specific versions by MyOpenClaw.cloud for security.

How to Install Skills

Go to your Control Panel → Configure → Skills

Browse available skills or search by name

Click Install — your assistant restarts with the new capability

Or ask your assistant directly: "Install the GitHub skill." It will guide you through any setup needed.

Essential Skills to Start With

For productivity:

brave-search — Already connected if you did Day 4

todoist or notion — Task and note management

github — Developer workflow automation

For research:

firecrawl — Deep web scraping and content extraction

arxiv — Academic paper search and summarization

For monitoring:

reddit — Track discussions in relevant communities

rss — Follow any blog, news site, or podcast feed

Combining Skills for Complex Tasks

The real power comes from combining skills. For example:

"Check my Todoist for any tasks tagged 'research', use Brave Search to gather information on each one, and create a Notion page summarizing what you found."

Your assistant coordinates all three skills in a single workflow — no code, just a natural language request.

Building Your Skill Stack

Start small. Add one or two skills that directly address your biggest friction points. Master those before adding more. A well-configured assistant with five skills beats a cluttered one with twenty.

Recommended starter stack:

brave-search — For researching anything

github (if you code) or notion — Your main work tool

todoist — Task management

Tomorrow we set up proactive automation. Your assistant will start reaching out to you.
