So I built ClawSimple, a tool that make deploy and run your own OpenClaw-based assistant easier.
With ClawSimple you can:
- Spin up one or multiple OpenClaw robots in a few minutes;
- Focus on using the assistant instead of wrestling with deployment details.
For people who don’t want to pay for a managed service, I also provide a free, self-hosted option: the same deployment logic packaged as a one-line install script that you can run on your own cloud server.
Because this is handling personal conversations, I designed the server-side with a zero-access approach: deployment uses one-time credentials so that I, as the developer of the site, cannot access your content or conversations. -- I’d especially love feedback on this part from people who care about security and privacy.
If you’re interested in OpenClaw but have been put off by the complexity of installation and cleanup, I’d be grateful if you could try this and tell me:
- Is the setup flow actually simple enough?
- Does the “few minutes to first conversation” promise hold for you?
- What would make you trust (or distrust) the zero-access design?
Happy to answer any questions about the implementation details or tradeoffs in the thread.
I soft-launched this on ProductHunt and got some early users, but I'm interesting in feedback from HN on the 'deployment model' and security assumptions.
