OpenClaw AI Assistant Setup

Your Own AI Assistant, Configured Exactly How You WantHand gesture icon

Imagine waking up to find your emails sorted, calendar organised, and messages handled. That's OpenClaw. We set it up on your own hardware or a VPS of your choice, configure it to your needs, and you get an AI assistant that actually understands how you work.

Why People Are
Switching to OpenClaw

Most AI assistants live on someone else's server, reading your data, charging monthly fees. OpenClaw runs on YOUR infrastructure - your own hardware or a VPS you control. Your data stays yours. And honestly? It's more capable than the subscription services anyway.

Complete Privacy

Everything runs on your own machine or a VPS you control. Your conversations, your data, your business information - none of it leaves your infrastructure unless you want it to. No corporate servers snooping through your stuff.

Actually Does Things

This isn't a chatbot that just answers questions. OpenClaw takes action. Books appointments, sends emails, updates your CRM, posts to social media. You tell it what to do, it does it. Simple as that.

Works Where You Work

WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, email - wherever you communicate, OpenClaw is there. Send a message from your phone at 2am, your AI handles it. Group chats, DMs, all of it.

No Monthly Fees

One setup cost, then just pay for AI usage (typically £5-30/month depending on how much you use it). No £50/month subscriptions. No 'upgrade to pro' nagging. It's yours.

What Your AI Assistant
Can Actually Do

Here's the thing - most people don't realise how much of their day could be handled by AI. These are real tasks our clients have automated. The boring stuff disappears, leaving you time for work that matters.

  • Email Triage & Drafting

    Wake up to an organised inbox. Important emails flagged, spam filtered, and draft replies waiting for your approval. Your AI learns your tone and handles the routine responses automatically.

  • Calendar & Scheduling

    No more back-and-forth trying to find a time that works. OpenClaw checks your calendar, proposes times, sends invites, and even reminds you when meetings are coming up. Across all your calendars.

  • Customer Communication

    First responses to enquiries sent immediately, any time of day. Common questions answered, appointments booked, leads qualified - all before you've had your morning coffee. Personal touch, AI speed.

  • Research & Summaries

    Need to know what happened in your industry this week? Want a competitor analysis? Ask your AI. It browses the web, compiles information, and gives you the summary. No more tab hell.

  • Task Automation

    Run reports, update spreadsheets, sync data between systems, trigger workflows. Tell your AI what you need done, it figures out how. Custom scripts, API calls, whatever it takes.

  • Smart Reminders

    Not just 'remind me at 3pm' - context-aware reminders. 'Follow up with Sarah after her holiday' or 'remind me about this when I'm near the office'. Your AI remembers so you don't have to.

Security That
Actually Makes Sense

Running an AI with access to your systems sounds scary. We get it. That's why we configure OpenClaw with multiple layers of protection - defence in depth, not just hope.

  • Docker Container Isolation

    Your AI runs inside an isolated Docker container. Even if something goes wrong, it can't touch the rest of your system. The container has only the permissions it needs and nothing more.

  • Localhost Only by Default

    The gateway binds to 127.0.0.1 - your machine only. No external connections unless you explicitly enable them. Nobody on your network can reach it, let alone anyone on the internet.

  • Pairing & Allowlists

    Unknown senders can't just message your bot. New contacts go through a pairing process you approve. Or set strict allowlists - only specific phone numbers or usernames get through.

  • Token Authentication

    Every connection requires a cryptographic token. No token, no access. Tokens are generated during setup and stored securely on your machine.

  • Sandboxed Code Execution

    When the AI runs commands, it does so in a sandbox. File access is restricted, network calls are controlled, and dangerous operations require explicit approval.

  • Fail2Ban Protection

    Repeated failed attempts get blocked automatically. Brute force attacks, credential stuffing - they hit a wall before they get anywhere.

OpenClaw FAQ

Everything you need to know about getting your own AI assistant. Still have questions? We're happy to chat.

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant (you might have heard of it as ClawdBot or Moltbot - same thing, new name). It runs on your own hardware - could be a Mac mini, Windows PC, Linux server, even a Raspberry Pi. It connects to your messaging apps, email, calendar, and over 100 other services. Unlike ChatGPT or other cloud AI, everything stays on your machine.

Nope. That's where we come in. The installation and configuration can be fiddly if you're not technical - that's why we offer setup services. Once it's running, you just talk to it like you would any assistant. Through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, whatever you prefer. If you can send a text message, you can use OpenClaw.

Almost anything works. You can run it on your own hardware - a Mac mini, Windows PC, even an old laptop. Or we can set it up on a VPS (remote server) of your choice if you prefer a cloud setup. We'll assess your situation and recommend the best approach. Most people don't need to buy anything new.

Three big differences. First, OpenClaw DOES things - it's not just a chatbot. It can send emails, book appointments, control your computer. Second, it runs locally so your data stays private. Third, it's always available through your messaging apps, not just a website you have to visit.

Just AI API usage - typically £5-30 per month depending on how much you use it. That's it. No subscription fees to us, no 'pro tier' to unlock features. The AI providers (Claude, OpenAI, etc.) charge per use, and that's your only recurring cost.

Almost certainly. OpenClaw has native integrations with 100+ services - Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, GitHub, Slack, and many more. If there's an API, we can usually connect it. During setup, we'll configure all the integrations you need.

We install OpenClaw on your hardware, configure your AI provider (Claude, GPT, whatever you prefer), connect your messaging apps, set up your integrations, create custom automations based on your needs, and train you on how to use it. Plus ongoing support if anything goes wrong.

Basic setup is usually done within a day. More complex configurations with lots of integrations and custom automations might take 2-3 days. You'll have a working AI assistant quickly - then we refine it based on how you actually use it.

Ready for an AI assistant that
actually works for you?

Most AI tools are impressive demos that don't fit into real workflows. OpenClaw is different - it's designed to slot into your existing routine and take work off your plate.

Tell us what's eating your time. We'll configure an AI assistant that handles it. No ongoing contracts, no complicated software to learn. Just results.
