Question 1

What is ClawInst?

Accepted Answer

ClawInst is a managed platform that lets you deploy OpenClaw AI assistants in under 30 seconds. No terminal, no Docker, no config files — just pick an AI model, connect your Telegram bot, and deploy. Your assistant runs 24/7 on private cloud infrastructure.

Question 2

How do I deploy OpenClaw without Docker or command line?

Accepted Answer

With ClawInst, you deploy OpenClaw entirely from your browser. Sign up with Google, pick an AI model (free models included), paste your Telegram bot token, and click deploy. ClawInst handles all the Docker, server setup, and configuration automatically. No terminal needed.

Question 3

Is ClawInst free? Do I need to pay for API keys?

Accepted Answer

ClawInst offers a 3-day free trial with free AI models — no credit card required. API keys are included in your subscription. You don't need to sign up for OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other provider. Pro plan is $12/month with premium models and $10 in AI credits.

Question 4

Is my data private and secure on ClawInst?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every user gets their own isolated container with a unique auth token. Your conversations, files, and API keys are never shared with other users. Containers run with gateway authentication, tool restrictions, and filesystem sandboxing enabled by default.

Question 5

What AI models does ClawInst support?

Accepted Answer

ClawInst supports multiple AI models including Claude Sonnet, GPT-4, GPT-5, Gemini, and free open-source models. You can hot-swap models from the dashboard at any time — no downtime, no container restart.

Question 6

What channels can I use with my ClawInst AI assistant?

Accepted Answer

ClawInst supports Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, and a built-in Web Chat UI. Free trial users get Telegram and Web Chat. Pro subscribers unlock all channels.

Question 7

What can my OpenClaw assistant do on ClawInst?

Accepted Answer

Powered by OpenClaw, your assistant can browse the web, run code, read & write files, manage your calendar, search the internet, generate images, control smart devices, and much more — with 59+ skills available out of the box.

Question 8

How is ClawInst different from self-hosting OpenClaw?

Accepted Answer

Self-hosting OpenClaw requires Docker, terminal access, server management, API key setup, and ongoing maintenance. ClawInst eliminates all of that — deploy in 30 seconds from your browser, with managed infrastructure, automatic updates, built-in fallback models, and included API keys.

Question 9

Do I need any technical knowledge to use ClawInst?

Accepted Answer

None at all. Pick a model, create a Telegram bot (we guide you step-by-step), and hit deploy. No terminal, no SSH, no config files. The entire setup takes under 30 seconds.

Question 10

Can I cancel my ClawInst subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

The free trial doesn't require cancellation — it simply expires after 3 days. For Pro, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. After that, cancel anytime from your dashboard. No lock-in, no hidden fees.
