KiwiClaw gives you one persistent place for memory, browser work, code execution, reusable skills, channels, and scheduled tasks. We manage the runtime, routing, monitoring, and backups behind it.
OpenClaw has 180,000+ GitHub stars because people watched the demo and saw an AI operate a computer — not just chat. Browse websites. Execute code. Automate workflows. Connect to Slack, Discord, Telegram.
Then they tried to self-host it.
Docker configuration. API key management. Security hardening. Rate limit tuning. Keeping up with upstream releases. Vetting skills for malicious code (341 malicious skills have been found in the wild). Setting up channel integrations. And that's before you think about team access, audit logs, or compliance.
The typical self-hosting journey takes 5-10 hours of setup, costs $40-70/month in server and API costs, and demands 2-4 hours of monthly maintenance. Most people give up before finishing.
KiwiClaw stays compatible with OpenClaw while adding the platform integration required for managed operation: trusted-proxy authentication, generated configuration, LLM routing, health checks, and network enforcement.
Runtime images are immutable and explicitly pinned. Upstream changes are tested and deployed deliberately; customers should not expect every upstream release to appear automatically or without a maintenance window.
The management plane handles authentication, billing, orchestration, tenant isolation, credential delivery, and operational controls.
How it works
Cloudflare DNS (*.kiwiclaw.app)
Dashboard (Next.js) — auth, billing, onboarding
Caddy edge — TLS and tenant subdomain routing
Orchestrator + node agent — config and lifecycle
gVisor-isolated tenant containers on a dedicated host
LLM + egress proxies — model routing and network policy
Provider-neutral Auto + MAX modes
Compute
Dedicated Hetzner host in Falkenstein, Germany. One gVisor-isolated container and persistent directory per tenant.
LLM
Provider-neutral Auto and MAX routing. Managed model identities stay inside the routing and metering layer.
Dashboard
Next.js 15 on Vercel. Clerk for auth. Stripe for billing. Tailwind v4.
Data
PostgreSQL (Neon) for persistence and authoritative managed-usage entitlements. Redis (Upstash) for caching and rate limiting.
Routing
Cloudflare DNS + TLS. Caddy reverse proxy for wildcard subdomain routing.
Sandbox
gVisor runtime isolation, explicit resource limits, authenticated ingress, and enforced outbound network policy.

Building KiwiClaw because AI agents are too useful to be gated behind DevOps expertise. The best tools should be accessible to everyone — not just people who enjoy debugging Docker Compose files at 2am.
@AireVasant on XKiwiClaw is a persistent AI agent that remembers context, browses the web, runs code, uses reusable skills, works across messaging channels, and completes scheduled tasks. The managed runtime is OpenClaw-compatible, but customers use KiwiClaw as a product—not as a hosting control panel.
No. KiwiClaw uses a managed OpenClaw-compatible runtime with platform-specific configuration, trusted-proxy authentication, LLM routing, and operational controls. Runtime images are pinned and upgraded deliberately rather than following upstream automatically.
