šŸš€ Getting Started: Install OpenClaw on a VPS in Under 10 Minutes
New here? This is the fastest way to get OpenClaw up and running on your own server. You'll need two things: 1. A VPS (I recommend Hostinger — it's what I use) 2. An API key from an AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or xAI) Step 1: Get a VPS If you don't have a VPS yet, grab one from Hostinger. They have a one-click OpenClaw template built right into their Docker Manager, so you don't need to mess around with the command line. šŸ‘‰ Get a Hostinger VPS here (20% off with this link) The KVM 2 plan is more than enough to run OpenClaw comfortably. Step 2: Deploy OpenClaw If you're buying a new VPS: • Head to the Hostinger VPS marketplace and select OpenClaw • Choose your plan, click Deploy • OpenClaw is automatically pre-selected as the application • Complete the purchase If you already have a Hostinger VPS: 1. Go to your hPanel → Docker Manager (install it if you haven't already) 2. Navigate to the Catalog section 3. Search for OpenClaw and click Deploy Step 3: Configure Your Environment During deployment, you'll see a configuration screen where you can add all your LLM API keys. āš ļø Important: Copy your OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN before moving on. You'll need it to log in. If you forget, you can find it later in Docker Manager → your project → Environment section. You only need ONE AI provider key to get started. You can always add more later. Step 4: Wait for Deployment Docker will pull the OpenClaw image and start the container. This usually takes 1-2 minutes. Wait until the status shows "Running".

What this community is for: šŸ› ļø Sharing your agent setups and workflows šŸ’” Swapping skills, configs, and ideas šŸ› Getting help when things break (they will) 🧠 Pushing the boundaries of what a personal AI assistant can do A few things to get started: 1. Introduce yourself below — who are you, what are you building, what got you into OpenClaw? 2. Share your setup — what are you running it on? What channels? What does your agent do for you? 3. Browse the categories — Getting Started, Show & Tell, Skills & Plugins, Help, and more House rules: Be helpful, be decent, don't be a spammer. We're all figuring this out together. Let's build some cool stuff. šŸš€ Cheers Jason
What I've built with OpenClaw in 3 days 🤯
I set up OpenClaw on Wednesday. It's Friday. Here's what my AI assistant (Manager Mike) has done so far — all through Telegram on my phone. šŸ¤– Built a team of AI agents Mike is my main assistant, but he manages a team of sub-agents that each have their own job: • Writer Will — writes SEO blog posts for my SaaS, generates featured images, and publishes drafts to our Ghost blog. He runs on a daily cron job at 6am, Mon-Fri, working through a keyword queue we built from competitor gap analysis. • Social Steve — handles social media content and scheduling. 1 per day on every channel. • Telephone Tina — an AI phone agent (via Vapi + ElevenLabs) who makes and receives real phone calls. She called 6 of my mates to organise a curry night, handled voicemails, sent follow-up texts, and takes inbound calls on a UK number 24/7. • Outbound Ollie — a cold email outreach agent. He searches Apollo.io for prospects, enriches them to get email addresses, checks their websites for existing chatbots (so we only target businesses that don't have one), then sends personalised emails with industry-specific templates. He sent 135 emails today across schools, hotels, and SaaS companies — all automatically. šŸ“ž Real phone calls Tina isn't a gimmick. She called my friends, had actual conversations, handled objections ("I'll need to check with the wife"), left voicemails, and sent SMS follow-ups. She answers inbound calls with "Hello, you've reached Jason West's office, this is Tina speaking." My assistant checks every 30 minutes if anyone's called in. šŸ“§ 135 cold emails in one afternoon I said "schools, UK, 50" and Ollie: 1. Searched Apollo for 100 prospects 2. Enriched them to get verified email addresses (98% hit rate) 3. Visited each website to check if they already have a chatbot 4. Filtered out the 15 that did 5. Sent 50 personalised emails with the right landing page Then I said "do hotels too" and "now SaaS." Same thing. All automated, all rotating across 6 SMTP accounts on 2 domains, all with industry-specific subject lines and copy.
