# Deploy OpenClaw on Railway

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that connects to 20+ messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, Teams, Matrix, and more). It runs on your own infrastructure, powered by AI models like Claude or ChatGPT, giving you a private, always-on assistant accessible through your favorite messaging apps or a web interface.

## Features

- **20+ messaging channels** — WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and more
- **Multi-provider AI** — Works with Claude, OpenAI, and other AI providers
- **Self-hosted & private** — Your data stays on your infrastructure
- **Always-on gateway** — Runs 24/7 on Railway with automatic restarts
- **Built-in health checks** — `/health` and `/readyz` endpoints for monitoring

## Getting Started

1. Click **Deploy on Railway**
2. The gateway will start automatically
3. Run `openclaw onboard` locally to configure channels and AI providers
4. Connect your messaging accounts

## Environment Variables

No required variables — the gateway starts in unconfigured mode and guides you through setup via the onboarding wizard.
