OpenClaw Launch is a fully managed deployment platform for OpenClaw, the open-source AI chatbot framework. It replaces the entire self-hosting workflow — servers, Docker, CLI, config files — with a visual browser-based editor and one-click deployment.

How it works

1. Configure — Pick your AI model and chat platform from a visual form. No YAML, no JSON, no terminal. Supported models include GPT-5.2, Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, DeepSeek V3.2, Kimi K2.5, and a free tier (Trinity Large Preview).
2. Deploy — One click. Your bot is live in under 30 seconds. OpenClaw Launch handles Docker containers, networking, SSL/HTTPS, and monitoring automatically.
3. Connect — Your bot is instantly reachable on Telegram, Discord, or the built-in Web UI. Manage everything — logs, start/stop/restart, configuration changes — from the dashboard.

What makes it different from self-hosting

• No hardware required — no Mac Mini, no VPS, no cloud VM
• No setup — no Docker install, no port configuration, no firewall rules
• No config files — visual editor replaces YAML/JSON editing and syntax debugging
• No deployment headaches — no SSH, no docker-compose, no praying
• No SSL management — HTTPS is included out of the box
• No monitoring scripts — built-in dashboard with real-time logs
• Time to launch: under 30 seconds vs. 2–6 hours for a manual setup

What people use it for

• WhatsApp and Telegram bots
• Email management
• Morning briefings
• Smart home control
• Web research
• Voice commands, calendar scheduling, meal planning, price tracking, competitor monitoring, and more

OpenClaw has access to over 5,700 community skills on ClawHub, covering everything from flight check-in and file management to Discord moderation and code review.

Security

• Each bot runs in an isolated Docker container with its own storage
• Gateway tokens are auto-generated and never shared
• Configurations are encrypted at rest
• All connections use SSL/HTTPS
• Your conversations, API keys, and data are never accessed or used for AI training

Pricing $20/month Pro subscription, which includes managed hosting, monitoring, and $10 in AI credits. AI usage is billed at the same rates as the original providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) — no markup. Cancel anytime, no early termination fees.

Platforms: Web (SaaS) — works in any browser. Deploys bots to Telegram, Discord, or the built-in web chat.
