Getting Started with Clawmachined

Welcome to Clawmachined — the fastest way to deploy your own AI agent powered by OpenClaw. This guide will walk you through the entire setup process, from sign-up to your first running instance.

What You'll Need

Before you begin, make sure you have:

An API key from your preferred LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or any compatible API)
A Clawmachined account (free to sign up)

That's it. No server configuration, no Docker, no infrastructure management required.

Step 1: Sign Up and Log In

Head over to the Clawmachined dashboard and create your account. You can sign up with your email or GitHub account.

Step 2: Add Your API Key

Once you're in the dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Keys and paste your LLM provider API key. Clawmachined encrypts your key at rest and never stores it in plain text.

Step 3: Deploy Your Instance

Click the Deploy button. Clawmachined will:

Provision a secure, isolated environment
Install and configure OpenClaw with sensible defaults
Set up outbound-only networking for maximum security
Generate your unique instance URL

The entire process takes about 30 seconds.

Step 4: Connect Your Channels

With your instance running, you can now connect it to your favorite platforms:

Slack — Add the Clawmachined bot to your workspace
Telegram — Link your bot token
Discord — Install the Clawmachined app to your server
And 500+ more — Browse ClawHub for additional integrations
