# 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.
