The stack: two agents on separate boxes. The public one (nullclaw) is a 678 KB Zig binary using ~1 MB RAM, connected to an Ergo IRC server. Visitors talk to it via a gamja web client embedded in my site. The private one (ironclaw) handles email and scheduling, reachable only over Tailscale via Google's A2A protocol. Tiered inference: Haiku 4.5 for conversation (sub-second, cheap), Sonnet 4.6 for tool use (only when needed). Hard cap at $2/day. A2A passthrough: the private-side agent borrows the gateway's own inference pipeline, so there's one API key and one billing relationship…

ClawSimple▲113Hi HN, I’ve been following the OpenClaw project and noticed frictions for non-expert users: most discussions and docs are too nerdy... Installing OpenClaw costs lots of brain cells. Uninstalling costs even more! Besides, security/privacy risks exist for non-technical users. 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…

The Setup: I built 3 apps in 2025. Spent months on each. Made $0 total. I was about to give up on indie hacking. The Opportunity: Then OpenClaw (self-hosted AI assistant) went viral in January. My entire Twitter feed exploded with it. Hundreds of people trying it, struggling with setup. I saw the pattern: massive interest + technical barrier = opportunity. What I Built: ClawdHost – managed hosting for OpenClaw. Think Heroku but specifically for this one AI assistant. Lets see how this one goes!

Hey HN, I'm Daniel, solo dev from Germany. I built ClawHosters (https://clawhosters.com), a managed hosting platform for OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. Quick timeline: domain registered February 5th. First paying customer six days later. I probably should have spent more time on it, but it works. If you haven't seen OpenClaw, it lets you run a personal AI assistant that connects to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. Self-hosting it is absolutely possible, but it's a pain. You're dealing with Docker setup, SSL certs, port forwarding, security hardening, keeping…

The goal is simple: remove setup friction and make deployment easy and approachable. With SimpleClaw Shop, users can: - get a server ready in minutes - deploy OpenClaw through a guided setup - interact with their bot directly via Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc (all the core features, made easier top setup) It’s designed for solo operators, creators, and small teams who want a dedicated OpenClaw bot without dealing with infrastructure complexity. I’d really appreciate your feedback :)
