OpenClaw, previously known as Moltbot and Clawdbot, is a personal AI assistant designed to run in a Cloudflare Sandbox. This setup is experimental, primarily serving as a proof of concept. Users need a paid Workers plan at $5 per month to utilize Cloudflare Sandbox containers. To access AI features, an Anthropic API key is required, or users can opt for AI Gateway's Unified Billing. While some Cloudflare services have free tiers, costs can still add up, especially if the container runs continuously. The project runs on a standard-1 Cloudflare Container instance, which includes 1/2 vCPU, 4 GiB of memory, and 8 GB of disk space. Monthly costs can reach around $34.50 if the container operates 24/7. This estimate includes charges for memory, CPU, and disk usage, with the possibility of reducing costs by configuring the container to sleep when idle. Key features of OpenClaw include multi-channel support for platforms like Telegram and Discord, persistent conversations, and a web-based control UI. Setting up OpenClaw involves installing dependencies, configuring API keys, and deploying the application. Device pairing is required for secure access, meaning that any new device needs admin approval through the admin UI. Users must enable Cloudflare Access for security, and they can create an R2 bucket for persistent storage to avoid data loss during container restarts. Configuration details are provided in a step-by-step format, allowing users to manage access and authentication effectively.
