Unlocking 24/7 AI assistants for anyone — no servers, no setup, no $600 Mac Mini

OpenClaw went viral in early 2026 — an open-source AI assistant that runs 24/7 and can actually do things. Send emails, manage your calendar, browse the web, execute code, all through a chat on Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, or Discord. It's genuinely powerful technology.

The problem is getting it running. You need Node.js, Docker, SSH access, server management — or people are buying $600 Mac Minis just to host it. The OpenClaw creator himself put it bluntly: "It still isn't ready to be installed by normies."

I'm building ClawBase.ai to fix that. Managed OpenClaw hosting — sign up, connect your AI API key, pick your chat platform, and your instance is live in about five minutes. No terminal, no Docker, no hardware purchase.

Think WP Engine for WordPress. Nobody who just wants a WordPress site wants to SSH into a server and install dependencies. They want to log into a dashboard and start working. Same principle here — people just want their AI assistant running 24/7 without touching infrastructure.

Under the hood, each user gets their own fully isolated container on Kubernetes with a unique subdomain, persistent storage, and automatic TLS certificates. The entire infrastructure layer is managed through Terraform — provisioning, backups, monitoring, log aggregation, all automated. If something fails during instance creation, the system rolls back on its own. The stack is TypeScript end-to-end, with ElysiaJS on the API, Next.js for the marketing site, Supabase for auth, and full type safety from the database layer through to the frontend.

Security is a real consideration because OpenClaw can do powerful things — execute commands, access accounts, modify files. Every instance runs in complete network isolation with Kubernetes NetworkPolicies, and API keys go through a zero-trust configuration flow after provisioning. Nothing sensitive gets passed at deploy time.
