OpenClawDirectHosting

OpenClaw Direct Hosting is a fully managed way to run a dedicated OpenClaw AI assistant for your team. It’s designed to get you live quickly: spin up an always-available assistant instance, connect your team to the chat apps you already use, and avoid the infrastructure work of self-hosting.

With OpenClaw Direct, you get your own isolated machine for your assistant. Your assistant runs 24/7 and is supported by built-in monitoring, so your team doesn’t need to babysit uptime. Updates are handled for you automatically, and you can also opt into manual update control if you prefer. The platform also supports common business use cases such as marketing and content, sales pipelines, and customer support workflows—using natural-language conversations with no special commands or training.

Set up is straightforward: create an account, add your Anthropic API key (encrypted and not stored on the platform), connect a messaging channel, and start chatting. Supported channels include Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, and Slack (and you can also use the OpenClaw dashboard).

Pricing starts at $19/month and includes free trial credits; cancel anytime from the dashboard. You’ll also need an Anthropic API key, billed separately based on your usage.

How fast can I deploy my OpenClaw AI assistant?

Most deployments complete within 2–5 minutes, and you’ll receive connection credentials once your instance is ready. The platform also describes getting your team deployed in about 5 minutes.

Which chat channels can I connect?

You can connect Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, and Slack, plus you can also use the OpenClaw dashboard.

Do I need to manage servers or infrastructure?

No. OpenClaw Direct is fully managed, handling infrastructure, updates, and 24/7 monitoring so you don’t need technical upkeep.

How are updates handled for my assistant?

OpenClaw updates are applied automatically with zero downtime. If you prefer, you can opt into manual update control.

What do I pay for, and what’s billed separately?

Plans start at $19/month and cover the dedicated machine, automatic updates, 24/7 monitoring, and the messaging integrations. You also need an Anthropic API key, which is billed separately based on your usage.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes—there are no contracts. Cancel with one click from your dashboard, and your subscription ends at the next billing date.
