OpenClaw Guide

What is OpenClaw? And how to use it without installing anything.

OpenClaw is an AI agent framework that automates tasks across 100+ apps — browsing the web, managing email, finding leads, updating spreadsheets — 24 hours a day. PinchClaw hosts OpenClaw for you in the cloud. No installation, no server, no coding.

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an AI agent framework — a system that lets an AI model take real action across software tools and websites, not just generate text. An OpenClaw agent can:

Browse any website with a full Chrome browser — filling forms, clicking buttons, logging in
Read, draft, and send emails via Gmail or any SMTP account
Update Google Sheets, Notion databases, Airtable, and more
Find and message leads on LinkedIn
Manage your Google Calendar — schedule, reschedule, check availability
Trigger workflows in Slack, Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Stripe
Run 24/7 on a schedule without you needing to be present

The problem with installing OpenClaw yourself

OpenClaw is powerful software — but self-hosting it on your own computer or a VPS requires significant technical work:

Server setup

You need a Linux server, SSH access, and the ability to manage a VPS or configure your local machine as a server.

Security risks

Running an AI agent locally with internet access creates exposure. Open ports, unmanaged credentials, and local file access are real risks.

Always-on problem

If your computer sleeps or loses power, your agent stops. A dedicated server is required for 24/7 operation.

Configuration complexity

Configuring API keys, integration credentials, Telegram bots, and agent permissions requires deep familiarity with the framework.

PinchClaw solves all of this. Every PinchClaw instance is a fully managed, private cloud server running OpenClaw — pre-configured, secured, and monitored. You get a working OpenClaw agent in under 5 minutes with no technical knowledge required.

Frequently asked questions about OpenClaw

Do I need to install OpenClaw on my computer?

No. PinchClaw hosts OpenClaw entirely in a private cloud server. Nothing is installed on your computer or local machine.

What can an OpenClaw agent do?

An OpenClaw agent can browse the web with a real Chrome browser, read and send email, update spreadsheets, post on LinkedIn, manage your calendar, find leads, and automate workflows across 100+ apps — all 24/7 without you being present.

How do I talk to my OpenClaw agent?

Via Telegram. Your agent has its own Telegram bot. You message it like you'd message a person — give it tasks, ask for updates, or just let it run on its own schedule.

What AI model does OpenClaw use on PinchClaw?

You choose. PinchClaw supports OpenAI Codex 5.3 (via your ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription), GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.6, and more. If you already pay for ChatGPT, you can use it at no extra API cost.

Is self-hosted OpenClaw secure?

Self-hosting OpenClaw exposes security risks — open ports, unmanaged credentials, and running AI on your local machine. PinchClaw hardens every instance with 9 security layers including key-only SSH, firewall-by-default, a private network tunnel, and encrypted secrets storage.

How long does it take to set up OpenClaw with PinchClaw?

Under 5 minutes. Sign up, choose your AI model, connect Telegram, and your OpenClaw agent is live. No terminal, no config files, no DevOps.
