The Fastest Way to Get OpenClaw Running

One-click Railway template for a 24/7 personal AI assistant. A friendly setup UI walks you through model selection, channel pairing, Google Workspace OAuth, and GitHub backups — go from deploy to live Telegram/Discord assistant in minutes.

What You Get

24/7 OpenClaw Gateway with a web control panel for onboarding, credentials, channels, and status
Everything version controlled — config, cron jobs, workspace, and memory auto-backed up to GitHub
Telegram or Discord configured out of the box, add/remove channels anytime
Google Workspace integration — Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, and Sheets via built-in OAuth
Secrets never committed — API keys stored as env vars, replaced with ${ENV_VAR} refs in git
Single-port deployment — setup UI and gateway routing all in one place

Common Use Cases

Run a personal AI assistant 24/7 and message it from Telegram or Discord.
Create automated Google workflows (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, Docs, Meet)
Keep agent config, memory, and workspace continuously backed up in GitHub.

Requirements

A Railway project with persistent volume support (/data).
A GitHub account and a repo for backing up your agent's state.
A Telegram or Discord account (to create a bot and chat with your assistant).
At least one AI provider credential (Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini or Codex OAuth).

Only one env var is needed at deploy time: SETUP_PASSWORD. Everything else (OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN, WEBHOOK_TOKEN, PORT) is auto-generated by the template.
