Deploy and Host OpenClaw - Personal AI Assistant on Railway

What is OpenClaw - Personal AI Assistant?

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that autonomously handles tasks across your
digital life. Unlike chatbots that just answer questions, OpenClaw actually does things — managing emails, scheduling appointments, automating workflows, coordinating AI agents, and running 24/7 background tasks. It operates through popular chat platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Discord, so you can interact naturally from anywhere. With Railway's one-click deploy and visual setup wizard, you'll have your own AI assistant running in minutes.

About Hosting OpenClaw - Personal AI Assistant

Hosting OpenClaw on Railway is incredibly simple. This template includes a web-based setup wizard that eliminates the need for command-line configuration. The wizard guides you through connecting your preferred AI provider (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Atlas Cloud, and 10+ others) and configuring messaging channels. Your OpenClaw instance runs continuously as a background daemon with 24/7 availability, maintaining persistent memory across all sessions while keeping your data private on your own infrastructure.

Common Use Cases
