Set up OpenClaw online.

Tools like ChatGPT and Claude are great for chat, but they’re not built to run in the background, hold a role, or take action while you sleep. OpenClaw is the leading open-source framework for always-on agents that actually do. The catch is that OpenClaw needs a computer to run on. You can run it on your laptop, but your agent dies when you close the lid. You can spin up a generic cloud VM yourself, but configuring OpenClaw from scratch is a multi-hour terminal project — and most generic cloud IPs get flagged on sites like LinkedIn and Reddit. Otto handles all of that for you.

A private virtual server, purpose-built for running OpenClaw agents. It comes pre-loaded with OpenClaw, all the standard CLIs, and a hardened security setup. You manage everything through the the platform app — no terminal required. Unlike a generic VPS, otto is configured specifically for agent workloads: isolated sessions, API key management, and real-time monitoring built in from day one.

You can spin up a VPS and install OpenClaw yourself — many people do. The difference is what you get out of the box. A raw VPS is a blank slate: you’re installing OpenClaw, hardening the config, wiring up CLIs, and debugging via SSH when something quietly breaks. Otto comes purpose-built: OpenClaw pre-installed and pre-configured, a proper management app, zero terminal required. Same underlying idea, none of the setup.

Yes. Upload your existing config through the app and it runs as-is. You can also build new agents from scratch in the platform without touching a terminal — either way works.

Otto Cloud is designed for small teams and solo operators — think exec assistant, biz dev, ops, finance monitoring. Multiple agents running concurrently is fully supported. Capacity scales with your plan.

Not at all. Otto runs OpenClaw under the hood — if you want to SSH in and use the CLI directly, that works exactly as it would on any other machine. The app is a service layer we built to make the 90% case easier: pre-built integrations, a dedicated messaging channel, and real-time observability. Use the app for some things and the CLI for others, or ignore the app entirely.

Your agent runs on a dedicated private server — not shared infrastructure. Your files, credentials, and browser sessions are isolated to your instance. The outbound traffic is whatever your agents do themselves — API calls, web browsing, emails sent — same as if you were doing it manually.

Free to get started. Otto Cloud is usage-based — we pass through LLM costs at a competitive margin, currently at or near cost. If you’d rather manage your own API keys, bring them and pay a flat $29/month for app access instead. No hardware to buy, no upfront commitment.
