Getting Started
ClawTank deploys a personal OpenClaw AI assistant in under 1 minute. No Docker, no SSH, no terminal required.
Step 1: Choose Your AI Model
Select the AI model that powers your assistant. Currently available:
- Claude Opus 4.6 — Anthropic's most capable model
More models (GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Flash) coming soon.
Step 2: Connect Telegram
Click Telegram to open the setup guide. You'll need to create a Telegram bot:
- Open @BotFather in Telegram
- Send
/newbotand follow the prompts - Copy the bot token (looks like
123456:ABC-DEF...) - Paste it into the token field
You can skip this step and set it up later from the dashboard.
Step 3: Sign In & Deploy
Click Sign in with Google to create your account. Your OpenClaw instance will be provisioned automatically — you'll see a progress screen with build steps completing in real-time.
Dashboard
After deployment, the dashboard is your control center.
Status & Trial
The top of the dashboard shows your container status:
- Running — your assistant is online and ready
- Stopped — manually stopped or awaiting restart
- Creating — build in progress
- Error — something went wrong during provisioning
Your free trial lasts 7 days. The remaining time is displayed as a countdown badge.
Build Progress
While your container is being created, you'll see a live progress tracker:
- Entrypoint started
- Setting up OpenClaw
- API keys configured
- Starting gateway
- Finalizing
This typically takes 30–60 seconds.
Gateway Connection
Once running, connect to your assistant's web interface:
- Copy the Gateway Token — click the copy button next to the token
- Open Gateway UI — click the link to open your assistant's web interface in a new tab
- Approve Devices — when your browser connects for the first time, come back to the dashboard and click Approve Devices to authorize the connection
Telegram Pairing
To connect your Telegram bot to your assistant:
- Send any message to your bot (in a group or DM)
- The bot will reply with a pairing code (6–8 characters)
- Enter the code on the dashboard and click Pair
Once paired, you can chat with your AI assistant directly in Telegram.
Container Actions
- Stop — pause your instance (preserves data)
- Start — resume a stopped instance
- Restart — stop and start again
- Rebuild — recreate the container from scratch (use if something breaks)
- Delete — permanently remove your instance and all data
Resource Stats
The dashboard displays real-time resource usage:
- CPU Usage — percentage with progress bar
- Memory — current usage vs. allocated limit
Memory
The Memory page shows an interactive knowledge graph of everything your AI assistant has learned from conversations.
- Memories are automatically extracted from your chats
- Related facts are connected as nodes in a graph
- You can view and manage all stored memories
The graph updates every 30 seconds. If you don't see any memories yet, start chatting with your assistant — it builds its knowledge over time.
Logs
The Logs page provides a live terminal view of your container output.
- Live streaming — logs appear in real-time via server-sent events
- Filter — search logs with real-time highlighting and match count
- Auto-scroll — automatically follows new output (disables when you scroll up)
- Download — export filtered logs as a
.logfile - Clear — remove all displayed logs
Up to 5,000 lines are kept in view. The connection reconnects automatically if interrupted.
Settings
Domain
Gateway Subdomain
Your assistant is accessible at your-name.onlymake.ai. You can change the subdomain:
- Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens allowed
- Changes take effect immediately
- You'll need to reconnect to the Gateway UI after changing
Custom Domain Point your own domain to your assistant:
- Enter your domain (e.g.,
chat.yourdomain.com) - Add a DNS A record pointing to
108.61.182.112 - TLS certificate is provisioned automatically via Let's Encrypt
API Keys
Configure the services your assistant can use:
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Anthropic API Key | Powers the AI model (required) |
| Telegram Bot Token | Connects your Telegram bot |
| Telegram Group ID | Links a specific Telegram group |
| OpenAI API Key | Enables multimodal capabilities |
| Gemini API Key | Alternative AI model support |
| ElevenLabs API Key | Voice synthesis |
| OpenClaw Model | Override the default model |
The Telegram Group ID can be auto-detected — click the detect button if your bot is already in a group.
After changing API keys, a rebuild is required for changes to take effect.
Password
If you signed up with email/password (not Google), you can change your password from this section. Minimum 8 characters.
