The AI Agent Behind Your Bot
OpenClaw is the open-source AI agent framework that powers every ClawHost bot. It's one of the most popular AI agent projects in the world — and ClawHost makes it effortless to deploy.
OPENCLAW AT A GLANCE
A BRIEF HISTORY
Born as an experiment
Created as an open-source personal AI assistant with Telegram integration.
Rapid community growth
Reached 100K+ GitHub stars. Hundreds of community-built skills and plugins.
Enterprise-grade architecture
Multi-provider support, persistent memory, proactive automation, and Docker packaging.
ClawHost makes it easy
One-click deployment, managed infrastructure, and credit-based billing.
HOW OPENCLAW WORKS
OpenClaw is built around a gateway architecture. A central gateway handles connections, routing, and session management, while plugins (skills) provide specific capabilities.
WHERE OPENCLAW LIVES
ClawHost currently supports Telegram deployment. More channels coming soon.
MULTI-PROVIDER ARCHITECTURE
OpenClaw supports any OpenAI-compatible API. ClawHost routes all requests through our proxy, which translates between providers seamlessly.
WHAT YOUR BOT CAN DO
OpenClaw comes with 700+ built-in skills. Here are the core tools available on ClawHost:
Assign specific tool sets to your bot. A support bot might only need web browsing and email, while a personal assistant gets the full toolkit.
IT REMEMBERS EVERYTHING
OpenClaw stores conversation history and learned facts in persistent memory. Your bot remembers what you discussed yesterday, last week, or last month.
DEFINE YOUR BOT'S SOUL
SOUL.md is a special file where you define your bot's personality, communication style, expertise, and behavioral boundaries. It's like a job description for your AI.
HEARTBEAT & CRON JOBS
The bot "wakes up" every 30 minutes to check on things: inbox, notifications, websites. Reports back only when needed.
Schedule tasks at specific times. Daily reports, weekly summaries, price monitoring — the bot acts on its own.
