Getting Started

Go from sign-up to a running OpenClaw bot in under five minutes.

How ClawBlitz Works

ClawBlitz gives you a fully managed OpenClaw instance running in the cloud. You bring your own AI provider API key, and we handle deployment, uptime, storage, and updates. Your bot is accessible via a unique URL protected by a gateway token.

Everything is configured through your dashboard at clawblitz.com — no terminal access, no SSH, no pip installs. The monthly cost is $58/mo, which covers managed hosting, persistent storage, and all platform features.

1

Create Your Account

Head to clawblitz.com/signup and create an account with your email. After verifying your email address, you will land on the setup wizard.

2

Choose Your AI Provider

Select one of the supported AI providers. Each provider has different models and pricing — you pay the provider directly for token usage.

OpenAI

GPT-4o, o1, o3

Anthropic

Claude 4, Sonnet

Google

Gemini 2.5 Pro

OpenRouter

Multi-provider

See the AI Providers & Models page for details on each.

3

Paste Your API Key

Grab an API key from your chosen provider and paste it into the dashboard. ClawBlitz encrypts and stores the key securely — it is only used to make inference requests from your bot.

# Example: OpenAI key format
sk-proj-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Your API key is never shared. All inference costs are billed directly by your provider.

4

Your Bot Is Live

Once the setup wizard completes, your OpenClaw bot goes live. Within a few seconds you will see a status indicator turn green on your dashboard. Your bot is now reachable at a unique URL.

https://<your-subdomain>.clawblitz.com
5

Share Your Bot URL

Your bot URL is protected by a gateway token. Anyone who has the URL with the token can interact with the bot through the web UI. You can find the full URL (with token) on your dashboard and copy it with the Copy URL button.

https://<your-subdomain>.clawblitz.com?token=a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4

You can regenerate the gateway token at any time from the dashboard if you need to revoke access.
