OpenMate: Infrastructure as a service for OpenClaw - Preconfigured

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I've been running my own AI assistant for a while using OpenClaw (open-source AI agent framework). It connects to my Slack, Telegram, and WhatsApp. It remembers every conversation. It runs 24/7 on its own VM. It's genuinely changed how I work. The problem? I didn't want to set it up on my computer (don't do this) or have a spare computer lying around. Setting it up took hours of SSH, config files, security hardening, and DevOps knowledge most people don't have. Theres no way my wife could set this up. So with a couple of friends - we decided to build OpenMate. The idea is simple: You get your own private AI assistant running on a dedicated Google Cloud VM but you never touch a terminal. Sign up, pick a persona (or build your own), connect your apps, and you're live in minutes. We've also done all the hidden work that actually makes running OpenClaw more cost effective, some security enhancements, as well as pre-defined rules that makes OpenClaw a little more on tracks. We're early stages. I'd love your feedback on the concept, the landing page, and what features matter most to you. Happy to answer anything. Yes I know Peter Steinberger is heading to OpenAI (announced today the 16th of February 2026). We'll see what happens there. OpenMate won't force users to use one AI companies models over others. Personally, I mix and match depending on the task.
