FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is OpenClaw?
An open-source AI agent platform that runs on your own computer or server and connects to messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack. It can look after email, scheduling, tasks, research and custom workflows.
Is OpenClaw free?
OpenClaw itself is free and open source. You pay for AI model usage and a suitable PC or server, and setup, custom skills and support are quoted once we understand what you need.
Which messaging apps does it support?
WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Signal, Google Chat, iMessage and others. We confirm which ones suit your setup when we scope the project.
Can it handle voice notes, photos and documents?
Yes. It transcribes voice notes and acts on them, reads photos and documents, and can reply by voice.
Is our data safe?
OpenClaw runs on hardware you control, so its memory, files and connections stay with you. The AI model is reached over the internet; we document what is sent before go-live and limit access to what the agent needs.
Do we need technical skills?
No. We handle installation, setup, security and training, and you use the agent by sending it messages. We’re also happy to work alongside an in-house developer.
Do you work with New Zealand businesses?
Yes. We set up OpenClaw for New Zealand businesses remotely, with on-site sessions by arrangement.
