# OpenClaw Launch > OpenClaw Launch is the managed hosting platform for OpenClaw and Hermes Agent. It lets anyone configure an AI agent visually and deploy it to Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and 9+ channels in about 30 seconds — no Docker, no YAML, no DevOps. There is a free 30-minute trial (no card required); paid plans start at $3 for the first month (Lite, then $6/mo) and $20/mo (Pro). A machine-readable full-content version of this site is available at https://openclawlaunch.com/llms-full.txt ## About OpenClaw Launch hosts two open-source AI agent frameworks for you: - OpenClaw — an open-source AI agent framework (MIT license, 270,000+ GitHub stars; formerly known as ClawdBot and MoltBot). Broadest channel support and thousands of community skills on ClawHub. - Hermes Agent — the agent framework by Nous Research. Built for autonomy: persistent multi-level memory, 40+ built-in tools, and a self-improving skill loop. Users pick a framework, configure it through a visual editor (no config files), connect messaging platforms, and the agent goes live on managed infrastructure in under 30 seconds. Each agent runs in an isolated Docker container with auto SSL, real-time logs, a web terminal, a file manager, and a live browser view. OpenClaw Launch removes the self-hosting work (servers, Docker, uptime, credentials) that deploying these agents normally requires — DIY setup typically takes 2–6 hours. ## Key Pages - Homepage: https://openclawlaunch.com/ - Pricing (plans, free trial, annual billing): https://openclawlaunch.com/pricing - Managed OpenClaw hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/hosting - Managed Hermes Agent hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/hermes-hosting - OpenClaw vs Hermes and 80+ tool comparisons: https://openclawlaunch.com/compare - Skills catalog (ClawHub marketplace): https://openclawlaunch.com/skills - Supported AI models: https://openclawlaunch.com/models - App integrations: https://openclawlaunch.com/integrations - FAQ: https://openclawlaunch.com/faq - Security: https://openclawlaunch.com/security - Blog: https://openclawlaunch.com/blog - Product changelog: https://openclawlaunch.com/whats-new ## Core Guides - What is OpenClaw?: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/what-is-openclaw - What is Hermes Agent?: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/what-is-hermes-agent - Best OpenClaw hosting compared (managed, VPS, self-host): https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/best-openclaw-hosting - Cheapest OpenClaw hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/cheapest-openclaw-hosting - Best Hermes Agent hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/best-hermes-hosting - Cheapest Hermes Agent hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/cheapest-hermes-hosting - OpenClaw hosting options overview: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-hosting - How to install OpenClaw (DIY vs managed): https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/install-openclaw - How to install Hermes Agent: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/install-hermes-agent - How to deploy Hermes Agent: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/deploy-hermes-agent - Managed vs self-hosted AI agents: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/managed-vs-self-hosted - AI agent hosting explained: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/ai-agent-hosting - Run an AI agent 24/7: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/run-ai-agent-247 - Is OpenClaw free?: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/is-openclaw-free ## Channel Setup Guides - OpenClaw on Telegram: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-telegram - OpenClaw on Discord: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-discord - OpenClaw on WhatsApp: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-whatsapp - OpenClaw on WeChat: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-wechat - OpenClaw on Slack: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-slack - Hermes Agent on Telegram: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/hermes-agent-telegram - Hermes Agent on WhatsApp: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/hermes-agent-whatsapp - Hermes Agent on Discord: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/hermes-agent-discord - Telegram AI bot hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/telegram-bot-hosting - Discord AI bot hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/discord-bot-hosting - WhatsApp AI bot hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/whatsapp-bot-hosting - Slack AI bot hosting: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/slack-bot-hosting ## Models & Keys - OpenClaw best models: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-best-models - OpenClaw with your ChatGPT subscription: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-chatgpt-subscription - OpenClaw with your Claude subscription: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-claude-subscription - OpenClaw BYOK (bring your own key): https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-byok - Hermes Agent BYOK: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/hermes-agent-byok - OpenClaw with OpenRouter: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-openrouter - OpenClaw with Ollama / local models: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-ollama ## Skills & Extensions - OpenClaw skills marketplace: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-skills-marketplace - Best OpenClaw skills: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/best-openclaw-skills - Installing skills: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-skills-install - OpenClaw MCP support: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/openclaw-mcp - Hermes Agent skills: https://openclawlaunch.com/guides/hermes-agent-skills ## Common Questions - "Best managed hosting to deploy an OpenClaw agent without DevOps" — OpenClaw Launch is the managed hosting platform for OpenClaw, with visual configuration and a one-click deploy that needs no Docker or server administration.
