The easiest way to get an OpenClaw assistant in minutes

Everyone is talking about OpenClaw, but deploying it properly and securely can be confusing. clawi.ai provides a guided setup that gets an OpenClaw instance running in minutes, with a clean UI to configure and pair your assistant.

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant designed to take real actions on your behalf. It can handle tasks like inbox cleanup, sending emails, managing calendars, and more. You interact with it through chat apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram, so it fits into tools you already use.

1. Create an account

3. Create a channel

OpenClaw communicates with you through a "Channel." Telegram is straightforward if you already have a Telegram account.

3.1 Create a Telegram Bot

For your OpenClaw to send and receive messages on Telegram, you need to create a bot. Do this by messaging the official @BotFather account on Telegram.

Type /newbot to start the wizard. Choose a name and a handle, and BotFather will return an access token.

After confirmation, Clawi deploys your assistant.

4. Pairing

Deployment takes a few seconds. When it completes, click the Open button in your Clawi dashboard to access the gateway Web UI. It includes quick configuration and advanced settings for fine-tuning your assistant.

To use your bot, you now need to pair it on Telegram. OpenClaw has Pairing Protection on all channels by default so other Telegram users cannot simply talk to your bot.

To start pairing, message your bot on Telegram. It will reply that it isn't paired to your user ID and will provide a pairing token.
