OpenClaw agents.
Zero setup.
OpenClaw builds the most capable autonomous agents available today. But running them yourself means buying hardware, fighting terminal configs, and hoping your internet stays up. CloudWorkers hosts the same agents for you. Sign up, create an agent, connect a channel.
The reality
OpenClaw is powerful. Running it yourself is hard.
OpenClaw agents are genuinely different. Persistent identity. Memory that survives restarts. Tools they choose to use on their own. The ability to improve over time. They're not chatbots. They're autonomous software.
But to run OpenClaw, you need to buy a Mac mini or rent a VPS. You need to be comfortable in a terminal. The setup involves multiple configuration steps that are easy to get wrong. Security is on you. And if your power goes out, or your WiFi drops, your agent goes dark.
OpenClaw was also recently acquired by OpenAI, which means the open-source project's long-term direction is uncertain. Self-hosters are left wondering what comes next.
CloudWorkers gives you the same agents on managed infrastructure. No hardware to buy, no terminal to learn, no single point of failure.

Capabilities
Real autonomous agents.
Not another chatbot builder.
Agents that know who they are
Each agent has a persistent identity file that defines their personality, and memory that carries across every session. They evolve and improve over time through real interactions.
Connect once, reach everywhere
Attach agents to Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, or custom webhooks. Paste a bot token, save. Webhooks register automatically. Your agent is live in seconds.
Agents that can actually do things
Sandboxed runtime with HTTP requests, file management, and data processing. Agents decide when to write and run code on their own — no manual triggers needed.
Every major AI model, one platform
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and hundreds more via OpenRouter. Switch models per agent. Bring your own API keys to reduce costs.
Dashboard-first, API-always
Everything you do in the dashboard, you can do via REST API. Create agents, trigger runs, manage files, read sessions — fully programmatic when you need it.
Transparent usage-based pricing
Prepaid credits, real-time balance, per-agent cost breakdown, spending limits. You see exactly what every run costs. No surprises.
How it works
Three steps to a running agent.
Create an agent
Give it a name and pick a model. CloudWorkers generates a bootstrap process that guides your agent through its first conversation — it establishes its identity and starts building memory.
Connect a channel
Paste your Telegram bot token, Slack app credentials, or Discord bot token. Webhooks register automatically. Your agent is reachable in under 30 seconds.
It runs
Messages arrive from any connected channel. Your agent loads its identity and memory, reasons through the request, uses tools if needed, and responds. Every interaction is logged and billed transparently.
For developers
Full REST API when you need it
The dashboard handles the common path. When you need programmatic control — creating agents in bulk, triggering runs from your backend, reading session data — the API covers everything.
Every dashboard action maps 1:1 to an API endpoint. Same auth, same data, same behavior.
# Create an agent
curl -X POST https://api.cloudworkers.ai/v1/agents \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
-d '{
"name": "support-agent",
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
"tools": ["execute_code", "http_request"]
}'
# Agent is live. Send it a message.
curl -X POST .../agents/ag_01/chat \
-d '{"message": "Hello"}'Pricing
