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.

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.

Connect Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp

Connecting your OpenClaw instance to messaging channels is how you turn a deployment into a working AI assistant. This tutorial covers all three major channels: Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp.

Telegram (Recommended Starting Point)

Telegram is the easiest channel to set up and offers the best OpenClaw experience.

Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot

Open Telegram and search for @BotFather

Send the message /newbot

BotFather will ask for a name (e.g. "My Assistant") and username (must end in bot, e.g. myassistant_bot)

BotFather will give you a token: 1234567890:ABCdefGhIJKlmNoPQRstuVWXyz

Keep this token — you'll paste it into MyOpenClaw.

Step 2: Add Token to MyOpenClaw

Go to your MyOpenClaw dashboard

Navigate to Integrations

Find the Telegram card and click Connect

Paste your bot token and click Save

MyOpenClaw automatically registers the webhook. No server configuration needed.

Step 3: Test It

Search for your bot username in Telegram

Click Start

Send "Hello" — your assistant should reply within a few seconds

Discord

Step 1: Create a Discord Application

Go to discord.com/developers/applications

Click New Application and give it a name

Go to Bot in the left sidebar

Click Add Bot → Yes, do it!

Under Token, click Copy (or Reset Token if needed)

Step 2: Enable Required Intents

Still in the Bot settings:

Scroll down to Privileged Gateway Intents

Enable Message Content Intent ← This is required

Save Changes

Important: Without Message Content Intent, OpenClaw cannot read messages and will fail silently.

Step 3: Invite the Bot to Your Server

Go to OAuth2 → URL Generator

Under Scopes, check: bot

Under Bot Permissions, check: Send Messages, Read Message History, View Channels

Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser

Select your server and click Authorize

Step 4: Add Token to MyOpenClaw

In your dashboard, go to Integrations → Discord

Paste your bot token

Set the Channel ID where your bot should respond (right-click any channel → Copy Channel ID)

Click Save

WhatsApp uses WASender (a WhatsApp API gateway) for integration.

Step 1: Get a WASender Account

Create a new session

Scan the QR code with your WhatsApp app (Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device)

Copy your API key and session name from the WASender dashboard

Step 2: Add to MyOpenClaw

In your dashboard, go to Integrations → WhatsApp

Enter your WASender API key and session name

Click Save

Step 3: Test

Send a WhatsApp message to the number you linked. Your assistant should respond.

Note: WhatsApp must stay linked on your device. If you unlink the session in WhatsApp, you'll need to re-scan the QR code.

Troubleshooting

Bot doesn't respond:

Check your instance is running (green status in dashboard)

Verify the token was saved correctly (try re-pasting it)

For Discord: confirm Message Content Intent is enabled

Discord error 4014:

This means Message Content Intent is missing from the Discord Developer Portal. Enable it under Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents.

Telegram webhook conflicts:

If you previously registered a webhook manually, run /deletewebhook via the Telegram Bot API before saving your token in MyOpenClaw.
