Fastest-growing GitHub repo ever - 9K to 195K stars in 66 days (18x faster than Kubernetes)

The most comprehensive, curated collection of OpenClaw resources, hosting guides, cost comparisons, security hardening, skills, tutorials, and community links.

OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot → Moltbot) is a free, open-source autonomous AI agent created by Peter Steinberger (@steipete). It runs on your own hardware, connects to 10+ messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Zalo), and orchestrates AI agent workflows with persistent memory and 24/7 operation.

OpenClaw is an agentic AI interface that:

• Runs locally on your own hardware (Mac Mini, VPS, Raspberry Pi, ESP32-S3, or serverless)
• Connects to 10+ messaging platforms simultaneously
• Has persistent memory across sessions (saves files, breadcrumbs, chat histories)
• Handles tasks spanning hours or days without losing context
• Operates 24/7 autonomously focusing on automation and integration
• Supports 5,700+ community-built skills via ClawHub
• Works with multiple AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, local LLMs)
• Features voice assistant, browser automation, home automation, and cron scheduling

When the team dropped the @clawdbot Twitter handle to transition to @moltbot, professional "handle snipers" immediately grabbed it. Scammers used the hijacked account to launch a fake CLAWD token on Solana.

npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw gateway --port 18789 --verbose

That's it. The wizard walks you through API key setup, channel configuration, and security settings.

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
openclaw onboard --install-daemon

npm install -g openclaw@latest
# or
pnpm add -g openclaw@latest

git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
cd openclaw
./docker-setup.sh

These providers handle ALL the setup for you - no Docker, no terminal, no DevOps required.

Hire someone to set it up for you.

Business Model Insight: "The move right now is doing free OpenClaw installs, upselling security/skill packages/custom builds. We still make money on a 'free' install because we get an affiliate commission from the hosting company." - @GanimCorey on X

The real cost of running OpenClaw is the AI model API, not infrastructure.

75x price difference between the most expensive (Claude Opus) and cheapest (Gemini Flash) options.

1. Use smart model routing - cheap models (Haiku/Flash) for simple tasks, expensive (Sonnet/Opus) for complex
2. Enable prompt caching - Anthropic auto-applies 5-min cache, reducing repeat costs
3. Use local LLMs via Ollama for zero API cost (requires 16 GB+ RAM)
4. Set budget alerts in your AI provider dashboard
5. Use OpenClaw Cost Calculator to estimate your spend

Moltworker is Cloudflare's official adaptation of OpenClaw for Workers.

• Container: Sandbox (standard-1: 1/2 vCPU, 4 GiB RAM, 8 GB disk)
• Storage: R2 for persistence (auto-sync every 5 minutes)
• Auth: Cloudflare Access (Zero Trust) + gateway token + device pairing
• Status: Proof-of-concept (not an official Cloudflare product)

git clone https://github.com/cloudflare/moltworker.git
cd moltworker && npm install
npx wrangler secret put ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
export MOLTBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
npx wrangler secret put MOLTBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN
npm run deploy

Access: https://your-worker.workers.dev/?token=YOUR_GATEWAY_TOKEN

Set SANDBOX_SLEEP_AFTER=10m for infrequent use to reduce costs significantly.

• Cannot support Telegram bots (requires persistent connection for long-polling)
• Containers hibernate when not receiving HTTP requests
• Use VPS deployment for Telegram integration

These sections summarize where current OpenClaw usage has moved beyond early setup and hosting guides. Keep these as a bridge between the original comprehensive README format and the newer gateway/plugin ecosystem.

OpenClaw is commonly used as a personal assistant reachable from existing channels: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, Matrix, Teams, Zalo, WebChat, Lark/Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, WeChat, and other channel plugins. The useful pattern is not just chat integration, it is durable access to files, shell, tools, memory, approvals, and long-running workflows from the messaging surface people already use.

OpenClaw use cases increasingly combine cron jobs, webhook triggers, Gmail Pub/Sub style event delivery, heartbeat/background tasks, and manual chat approvals. Good examples include daily briefs, source monitoring, repo checks, support triage, calendar/task reviews, and notification-driven automation.

Current projects around OpenClaw include active memory, Memory Wiki style systems, QMD memory, long-term memory plugins, skill collections, personas, and context databases. Directory entries in this area should explain what is stored, where it is stored, and what approval or deletion controls exist.

Current OpenClaw setups often include WebChat, Control UI pairing, Tailscale or trusted-proxy access, local browser automation, remote workers, and private dashboards. Public entries should avoid implying a hosted service is safe by default unless the source documents auth, network boundaries, and secrets handling.

Current OpenClaw operations include OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, dashboards, model-provider switching, fallback routing, auth rotation, sandbox/tool policy, and elevated-mode safeguards. Add monitoring/security tools only when there is a concrete public repo or docs page and the description is neutral.

• Prefer official OpenClaw docs, upstream source, public GitHub repos, package pages, and concrete guides.
• Treat search and social discovery as leads, not evidence.
• Preserve contributor PR credit first, then normalize or reorganize after merge.
• Keep old launch history and cost notes clearly historical when they are not current.
• Avoid unsupported star, pricing, uptime, benchmark, growth, or adoption claims.
• Add community resources at the end of the most relevant existing section instead of creating promotional top-level sections.
• Parallel discovery found active public work around channels, observability, memory, mobile/voice, hosting, and multi-agent coordination; add only entries with public repos, packages, or docs.
• Run python3 scripts/validate_static.py before opening or merging PRs.

PicoClaw is an ultra-lightweight AI assistant written in Go that runs on less than 10 MB RAM. Boots in 1 second on a $10 RISC-V board (Sipeed LicheeRV Nano with SOPHGO SG2002). Single binary - no Docker, no Node.js, no Python required.

Sipeed claims PicoClaw matches OpenClaw's core features with 1% of the code and 1% of the memory. 95% of the codebase was AI-generated.
