OpenClaw

Template · AI: bring your key

OpenClaw, live in minutes.

An AI assistant that talks through your channels, browses the web for you and works in the background. You bring the provider key; Vertra launches, protects and updates it.

You sign in and come straight back to the wizard.

AI: bring your key
What it is

An agent that works for you.

OpenClaw is an open source AI assistant (MIT license). It replies on Telegram, Discord, Slack and WhatsApp, opens pages in its own browser, fills in forms, schedules tasks and uses skills. Its panel runs at your app address, protected by a token.

Who it is for

For anyone who wants an always-on agent.

No computer left on and no server to assemble.

People who automate research and web tasks

The agent opens sites, reads, summarizes and fills in forms in a browser that already ships inside the app.

Small teams

A shared assistant on Slack or Discord, with a list of who may talk to it.

People who want their own agent, with their own key

You pick the provider and the model and pay for usage straight to them. Vertra does not host models or resell AI credit.

What comes ready

Everything wired up from the first boot.

What the wizard sets up for you.

Panel with terminal

The OpenClaw panel at the app address, protected by the gateway token, with chat, settings and a terminal.

Agent browser

Browsing, screenshots, forms and PDF, with nothing for you to install.

AI providers

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter and any endpoint compatible with the OpenAI API. Dozens more from the panel.

Messaging channels

Telegram, Discord and Slack wired in the wizard, each with its allowlist. WhatsApp through the QR in the panel.

Scheduling and skills

Recurring tasks (cron), ready-made skills and voice, which relies on your browser microphone and a speech provider.

First browser approved automatically

After you paste the token, the first browser is paired automatically. Later devices ask for approval.

What Vertra takes care of

You use it. Vertra handles the rest.

What applies to every catalog template.

Updates you can roll back

When a new version comes out, you choose when to update. Vertra takes a snapshot first and, if something goes wrong, you go back to the previous version with your data.

Backups

Snapshots of the app disk, like any Vertra app, according to your plan.

HTTPS

The subdomain is published from the start with a valid certificate. Custom domain, on plans that include it.

Generated secrets

Passwords, tokens and encryption keys are generated at creation and shown once, at the end of the wizard. No loose plain-text secret in the template.

Requirements

What you need to have.

The numbers come from the Vertra catalog and follow the current plans.

The exact requirements show in the wizard, before you create anything.

  • An API key from the AI provider you choose (or a compatible endpoint). Usage is billed by them.
  • The agent browser needs more memory than an ordinary bot: the minimum shows above.
  • The template runs from a Docker image and takes one image slot of your plan.
  • For Telegram, Discord or Slack, the bot token and the list of who may talk to it.
Walkthrough

From click to live app.

Pick the provider

In the wizard, pick the provider, paste the key and, if you like, the model (empty uses the provider default). With a compatible endpoint, give the base URL, the key and the model.

Turn on the channels

If you want, enable Telegram, Discord and Slack with the token and the list of who may talk. Without the list, the channel stays off.

Open the address

After the deploy, open the app address and paste the gateway token, shown once in the outputs. The first browser is paired within 15 seconds.

Talk to it

Ask for something that needs the web ("open site X and summarize") or scan the QR to connect WhatsApp.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an AI key?

Yes. OpenClaw uses the model of the provider you choose, with your key. Vertra does not host models or charge for AI: you pay usage straight to the provider.

Which providers work?

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter (any model, free ones included) and any endpoint compatible with the OpenAI API. Dozens more are in the panel, under Settings.

How long until it is ready?

The first boot takes about a minute without channels and one to three minutes with Discord or Slack, because OpenClaw prepares the channel plugins. After that, under a minute.

Is my data kept when I update?

Yes. Conversations and configuration live on the app disk. The update takes a snapshot first and rolling back brings the data along.

Who can talk to my agent?

Only people on the allowlist of each channel. The list is required: without it the channel is not turned on.

Can the agent reach my private network?

Not by default: the agent browser blocks private and local network pages.
