What is OpenClaw?

@OpenClaw is a free, open-source autonomous AI agent with 300k+ GitHub stars. It runs on your machine and connects to the chat apps you already use - @WhatsApp, @Discord, @Slack, and 50+ more. It can read/write files, run shell commands, control browsers, and execute scheduled tasks.

What is KiloClaw?

@KiloClaw is a fully managed, hosted version of OpenClaw powered by @Kilo Code. It handles the infrastructure, security, updates, and monitoring so you can focus on what your agent actually does - not keeping it alive.

How is it different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT answers questions. KiloClaw does things. It runs shell commands, controls your browser, reads email, posts to social media, monitors repos, and remembers everything across sessions. It's not a chatbot, it's an assistant that acts on your behalf, 24/7.

How does pricing work?

$9/month (first month just $4). It includes a 1-week free trial with no credit card required. On top of hosting, you pay for AI inference through Kilo Gateway - 500+ models at zero markup, with free models included.

Which AI models are available?

All 500+ models available through Kilo Gateway, including @Claude by Anthropic, @OpenAI's GPT, @Gemini, @DeepSeek, @MiniMax, and local models. You can also bring your own API keys and centralize them through the Gateway - no subscription required, just pay for routing. Self-hosted OpenClaw typically locks you to one provider at a time. KiloClaw gives you all of them in one place.

Can I migrate my existing OpenClaw setup?

Yes. The team is building import tools that will let you bring over your existing OpenClaw configuration, memory, and automations. If you've already invested time in setting up your agent, that work isn't wasted.

Where does my data live?

Your agent's data is encrypted at rest and in transit. KiloClaw doesn't train on your data, doesn't sell your data, and you can export or delete everything at any time. Enterprise customers get dedicated instances with custom data residency options.

Is KiloClaw open-source?

@OpenClaw itself remains fully open source (Apache 2.0). @KiloClaw is a managed hosting service built on top of it - think of it like @GitHub is to Git, or @Vercel is to Next.js. You always have the option to self-host if you prefer.
