OpenClaw Setup Guide
Complete guide to setting up and using OpenClaw
Get Your Instance
After subscribing, navigate to 'My OpenClaw' and click 'Start OpenClaw' to allocate your personal instance.
Open Web UI
After getting the instance, click the 'Open Web UI' button in the Overview section to access your OpenClaw control panel.
Approve Device Access
After opening Web UI, seeing 'health offline' in the top right may still be normal until setup is finished. In newer OpenClaw versions: copy the Gateway token from My OpenClaw on this website, paste it into the Gateway token field in the Web UI, and confirm. When you are prompted that pairing is required, return to My OpenClaw on this website to complete device pairing.
Return to the 'My OpenClaw' page, find your device in the device list under the 'Security' tab, and click the 'Approve' button to grant access.
After device approval, return to Web UI and refresh the page. The 'health offline' in the top right corner will change to 'health OK', indicating successful connection!
Configure AI Models
After successful connection, go to the 'Models' tab and click 'Add Model'. Configure your preferred AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or custom).
Enter your API credentials and click 'Test Connection' to verify everything works correctly.
Start Using
After model configuration is complete, return to the Web UI main interface to start using! You can chat with your AI assistant and let it help you with various tasks.
