A personal AI that actually does things.

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own server. Talk to it via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, iMessage, or Signal. It reads emails, browses the web, manages files, runs code, and automates tasks — all under your control.

Think of it as having a brilliant personal assistant who never sleeps, never forgets, and never shares your data with anyone.

  • Connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, iMessage & more
  • Browses the web, reads documents, manages your calendar
  • Runs 24/7 on your VPS or Mac Mini — you own everything
  • 50+ installable skills: email, calendar, search, file management
  • Fully open source with 100k+ GitHub stars

Choose your setup.

Every installation includes Tailscale-secured access, security hardening, and a hands-on walkthrough so you're confident from day one.

From zero to running in under 2 hours.

Whether remote or in-person, the process is streamlined and transparent.

Consultation

Free 15-min call. We discuss your needs, choose VPS or Mac Mini, and pick the right package.

Provisioning

I set up your Hetzner VPS or configure your Mac Mini. Docker, Node.js, and OpenClaw are installed cleanly.

Security & Channels

Tailscale mesh VPN, gateway auth, sandboxing, and DM pairing. Your chosen messaging channels are connected and tested.

Handoff & Training

Live walkthrough of the dashboard, messaging, and key commands. You get all credentials and a quick-reference guide.

Two paths. Same great result.

Choose the hardware that fits your life. Both options get the same security treatment.

  • 99.9% uptime SLA
  • EU datacenter (Nuremberg/Falkenstein)

For power users who want native macOS features — iMessage, Shortcuts, screen control, and local AI models via Ollama.

  • One-time: CHF 700–1,500
  • ~CHF 3/mo electricity
  • Native iMessage + browser control
  • Local AI models (Ollama)
  • Can pair as node to VPS gateway

Hardened by default. Not an afterthought.

Every installation follows the official OpenClaw security guide. Your AI is powerful — and locked down tight.

🔐

Tailscale Mesh VPN

Zero public ports. Your gateway is only accessible through an encrypted Tailscale tunnel. No attack surface exposed to the internet.

🛡️

DM Pairing & Allowlists

Only approved contacts can talk to your AI. Unknown senders are blocked or require a pairing code before any interaction.

📦

Docker Sandboxing

Tool execution runs in isolated containers. Even if the AI is tricked, it can't touch your host system or sensitive files.

🔑

Gateway Auth Tokens

Strong, random tokens protect the gateway WebSocket. No token, no access. Rotation is built into the maintenance process.

🧪

Security Audit CLI

Built-in openclaw security audit --deep checks for misconfigurations, open surfaces, and permission issues.

📝

Log Redaction

Sensitive data is automatically redacted from logs. Custom patterns can be added for tokens, internal URLs, and secrets.

FAQ

Do I need any technical knowledge?+

Not at all. I handle the entire technical setup. You'll interact with your AI through WhatsApp, Telegram, or whatever messaging app you prefer — just like texting a friend. I provide a walkthrough so you feel confident using the dashboard.

Is my data really private?+

Yes. OpenClaw runs entirely on your own hardware (VPS or Mac Mini). Your messages, files, and data never pass through third-party servers. The only external call is to the AI model provider (Anthropic/OpenAI) for generating responses, and that traffic is encrypted.

What are the ongoing costs after installation?+

For a VPS setup: roughly €5–10/month for Hetzner hosting, plus your AI provider API costs (typically $10–30/month depending on usage). Tailscale is free for personal use. For Mac Mini: just electricity (~CHF 3/month) and the API costs.

Can I switch from VPS to Mac Mini later (or vice versa)?+

Absolutely. OpenClaw's state can be migrated between platforms. You can also run a hybrid setup: a VPS gateway for 24/7 uptime with a Mac Mini paired as a node for macOS-specific features like iMessage and browser control.

What happens if something breaks?+

Every package includes post-installation support (7 to 90 days depending on tier). After that, I offer an optional monthly retainer for ongoing maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting. OpenClaw also has a strong community and official docs.

How does in-person installation work?+

I come to your location in Basel or Zürich with everything needed. For Mac Mini setups, I configure the hardware on-site. For VPS, I set it up on your network and walk you through everything in person. Sessions typically take 1.5–2 hours.

I'm not in Switzerland. Can I still get help?+

Yes! Remote installations work just as well. We connect via screen-share (Zoom, Google Meet, or similar), and I guide you through the process or handle it directly via remote access to your VPS. Clients worldwide are welcome.
