ClawSimple

What is ClawSimple?

ClawSimple is an automated deployment platform designed to simplify running OpenClaw agents or bots on your own infrastructure. It provides a streamlined, one-click path to provisioning, installing, and booting an OpenClaw bot, whether you host it on your own server or use ClawSimple's hosted services. At its core, ClawSimple leverages the OpenClaw open-source brain and combines it with a managed deployment experience, allowing you to go from zero to a live bot in minutes. The project emphasizes transparency and control: the OpenClaw core is MIT-licensed (open-source), while ClawSimple handles the setup and lifecycle management so you can focus on building and refining your bot.

The platform positions itself around three pillars: open-source core, paid deployment delivery, and user-owned infrastructure. You maintain full control of your server and credentials, while ClawSimple provisions, installs, and boots the system, providing ongoing updates and monitoring to keep your bot running smoothly.

Key Features

• Open-source core with MIT license: The brain behind OpenClaw remains open and auditable, ensuring transparency and the possibility to host it yourself.
• Local-first control: You run the bot on your own infrastructure, keeping ownership of hardware, data, and credentials.
• Telegram first, multi-channel readiness: Default focus on Telegram for MVP with support for additional channels as you scale.
• Live Control Room: Real-time monitoring and management of your bot’s status and activity.
• OpenClaw Snapshot and Streaming: Tools to observe bot behavior and stream interactions for debugging and auditing.
• Clear deployment flow and logs: Structured deployment details and logs to help you track progress and troubleshoot.
• Simple, guided deployment: A three-step flow to get your first reply up quickly (see How to Use below).
• Deployment transparency: Clear visibility into how your bot is provisioned and hosted.
• Channel expansion: Start with Telegram and expand to other channels as needed.
• Creator and license: Developed within the OpenClaw ecosystem; MIT-licensed core ensures openness.
• Channel management and token handling: The system supports provisioning channel tokens and model keys securely during setup.
• Secure, private by design: Your keys are used only to initialize the deployment and are not stored by ClawSimple.
• Documentation and official docs: Access to official docs to help you self-serve and troubleshoot.
• Flexible hosting options: Host on your own server or opt for ClawSimple Managed hosting.
• Transparent pricing with clear plans: Multiple plans including Bring Your Own Keys, Standard, MaxPower, and Free Self-Hosted.

How to Use ClawSimple

ClawSimple is designed for a smooth, minimal setup with three simple steps:

1. Share your bot config

• Provide essential configuration: Telegram bot token, allowlist, and model API key. This information is used to securely provision the bot on your chosen server.

1. We set up the server

• A new server is created (if you chose hosted deployment) and the official installer runs automatically. The system provisions the environment, installs the gateway, and configures the bot to be ready for operation.

1. Start chatting

• Your OpenClaw bot goes live on Telegram (and other channels as configured). You can begin testing, training, and iterating immediately. The deployment status is visible in the Deploy Log, and ongoing updates keep you informed as the bot boots and becomes available.

Additional notes:

• Your Bot Status: Once deployed, the status will reflect live operation. The platform provides a clear, centralized view of provisioning progress and runtime status.
• Safe & Secure: Keys are used only to initialize the setup and are not stored by ClawSimple, preserving security and privacy.
• Documentation: If you prefer to handle deployment yourself, you can consult the official docs for OpenClaw and self-hosted guidance.

Use Cases

1. Quick Telegram Bot Deployment for Individuals and Small Teams

• A developer or entrepreneur can deploy an OpenClaw bot to Telegram in minutes with minimal server management, enabling rapid testing and iteration.

1. Self-Hosted OpenClaw Deployments for Privacy and Compliance

• Organizations that require data sovereignty can host the OpenClaw brain on their own infrastructure, ensuring control over data flows, access, and compliance requirements.

1. Managed Deployment with Clear Lifecycle Management

• Teams that want a hassle-free setup and ongoing updates get a managed deployment experience, reducing operational overhead while retaining ownership of credentials.

1. Channel Expansion and Multi-Channel Bots

• Start with Telegram and scale to additional channels as needs grow, enabling a unified AI assistant across platforms without re-architecting the deployment.

1. Open-Source First Projects with Commercial Convenience

• Open-source enthusiasts or researchers can leverage the MIT-licensed core while benefiting from the reliability and convenience of a deployment platform for rapid experimentation.
