Show HN: TapnClaw – Deploy your own OpenClaw AI assistant in 5 min, zero config

If you've used OpenClaw, you know it's one of the most capable personal AI assistants out there. Proactive messaging, persistent memory, autonomous tasks, skill extensions, multi-platform communication. It's incredible.

But setting it up requires cloning repos, managing API keys, configuring Docker, setting up Telegram bots, and maintaining a server. That's fine if you're technical. Most people aren't.

TapnClaw wraps the full OpenClaw experience in a managed deployment that takes 5 minutes and zero technical knowledge:

1. Sign in, pick a plan 2. Choose your AI model (Claude or ChatGPT) 3. Connect Telegram

A dedicated server spins up with OpenClaw fully configured. Your AI assistant appears in Telegram like any other contact. All of OpenClaw's capabilities, none of the infrastructure work.

What you get: - An isolated dedicated server (not multi-tenant) running OpenClaw - Proactive messaging: it learns your patterns and reaches out with reminders, check-ins, and follow-ups - Persistent memory across conversations - Autonomous background tasks via OpenClaw's cron/heartbeat system - Daily backups, automatic security updates, web dashboard - $0 AI markup on model costs

The audience is everyone who would love OpenClaw but would never get through the setup. Your non-technical friends. Your parents. Busy professionals who want a proactive AI assistant without managing infrastructure.

What it doesn't do (yet): - Telegram only right now. Discord, WhatsApp, and Slack are planned. - Personal use, not teams. - Managed hosting only, no SSH access. The tradeoff is simplicity for control.

$19.99/mo or ~$15/mo quarterly. Setup fee waived on quarterly.
