Your AI Agent . We deploy and adapt OpenClaw and Hermes Agent inside your environment. You own it.
ClawStaff deploys and adapts open-source AI agents inside your environment. OpenClaw by default. Hermes Agent (Nous Research) when persistent memory and multi-channel reach matter. Or any other agent framework you already have in mind. Cloud, on-prem, or hybrid. We integrate the APIs, debug the orchestration, harden the deployment, and stay close until it actually runs your workflow.
Open infrastructure.
Built the right way.
Your AI Agent Forward Deployed Engineer personalize your OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, the open-source agent framework. Every component, every connection, every API key lives on infrastructure you own and control. No shared clouds. No black boxes.

You already know AI can help.
The problem is nobody set it
up properly for you.
You tried. It did not stick.
ChatGPT, Copilot, generic AI tools. You used them for a week, then stopped. They were not connected to your tools, did not know your context, and did not actually reduce your workload.
Deploying agents in a real environment is hard.
OpenClaw and Hermes Agent is powerful. But setting it up correctly, VPS provisioning, server hardening, SSL, API keys, WhatsApp Business API, webhook configuration, takes hours of technical work most founders and company should never have to do themselves.
You cannot trust a generic AI with sensitive business data.
Public tools share infrastructure. Your conversations, your leads, your financials, you do not know where that data goes. A properly installed private OpenClaw and Hermes Agent instance means only you have access, full stop.

Discovery Call
Free • 30 minWe map your workflow, the stack, the data you need, and the integration surface. We scope exactly what your OpenClaw and Hermes Agent will handle from day one.
We Build It
48 hrsWe provision your VPS, install and configure OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, integrate the APIs, wire the channels, write the agent prompts, and ship audit logs, and harden the server. You receive audit logs and encrypted key storage from the start.
Go Live & Iterate
7-day hypercare; 14-day on EnterpriseYour AI Agent is live on your own server. We monitor, debug across infra/orchestration/model layers and adjust for 7 days based on real usage. After hypercare, you own it completely, or retain us for monthly maintenance.
You pay your own server bill (~$15–40/mo direct to your VPS provider) and your own AI API costs (Claude, GPT, or Open Router, your key, your bill). ClawStaff charges only for the setup work and integration expertise.

I have absolutely no technical background, I didn't even know what GitHub was when we started, but the team at ClawStaff made everything seamless. They even took the time to understand my specific needs and designed the perfect AI agent setup for my workflow. They handled the complex deployment so I could focus entirely on my business.

Frequently asked questions
About setup, ownership, security, and everything in between.
What exactly is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework. It is our default platform for most engagements: private agent on your server, connected to WhatsApp, Telegram, and your tools, live in 48 hours.
What's Hermes Agent and when would I pick it over OpenClaw?
Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous agent from Nous Research (MIT licensed). It is built around persistent memory and auto-generated skills, lives across more channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email, CLI), runs scheduled automations, and sandboxes work in isolated subagents. Pick it when you want an agent that runs unattended over weeks or months and accumulates skill, not just one that answers prompts. We help you decide on the discovery call.
What if I already have a different agent framework in mind?
We deploy that too. OpenClaw and Hermes Agent are the two we work with most often, but the deployment work (provisioning, hardening, integration, debugging, hypercare) applies to whatever framework fits your workflow: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, an internal one, or something newer. Bring what you want; we make it run.
What does 'forward deployed' actually mean?
We deploy inside your environment, integrate with your real systems, debug live with your team, and stay close until the agent does the work it was scoped for. Not a hand-off-and-disappear engagement.
Do I pay ClawStaff every month?
No. You pay ClawStaff a one-time setup fee for the installation and configuration work. After that, your only ongoing costs are your VPS server bill (~$15–40/mo paid directly to the provider) and your AI API usage (your own Claude, GPT, or Gemini key). The optional monthly retainer is only if you want us to handle maintenance and updates for you.
Who owns the server and the data?
You do. Completely. We set everything up on infrastructure you own and control. We do not have ongoing access after handover unless you retain us for maintenance.
Is my business data safe?
Yes. Your OpenClaw instance runs on a dedicated server assigned only to you. We implement PII scrubbing, encrypted key storage, and network access controls during setup. Your data never passes through shared infrastructure.
What messaging apps does it work with?
WhatsApp (via Business API), Telegram, and Discord. For most Indonesian business owners we recommend WhatsApp-first since that is where business communication already lives.
What tools can it connect to?
Google Calendar, Gmail, WhatsApp Business API, Telegram, Notion, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and most REST API-compatible CRMs. We assess your specific stack in the discovery call.
How long does setup take?
Starter: 24–48 hours from confirmed booking. Executive: 48–72 hours. Company: 5–7 business days depending on workflow complexity.
Do I need any technical knowledge?
None. You interact with your AI agent on WhatsApp or Telegram exactly like messaging a team member. We handle everything technical before handover.
