Managed OpenClaw hosting · AI secretary Your AI secretarythat knows you best

OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent under the MIT license; Chinese-speaking users nicknamed it "the lobster". An AI assistant like ChatGPT answers when you open the window and ask, and stops when you close it. OpenClaw is a long-running program that stays on 24/7: it acts on a schedule without being asked, takes your messages on Telegram or Discord, operates a browser, remembers the habits you tell it about and picks up new abilities through Skills. Because it has to stay on, it needs a server: the project ships open-source software only, with no hosted tier, so you run it on your own computer, on a VPS you manage, or with a hosting service. RoamerHost is managed OpenClaw hosting run by a team in Taiwan; it is not an official OpenClaw service.

Most people use it as a personal secretary: each morning it pulls together your schedule and to-dos, picks out the emails that need you, reminds you before meetings and bill due dates, and drafts replies in your voice. It can also go online to compare prices, look things up and track page updates. It remembers the habits you tell it about and sends everything to your Telegram or Discord, where you just tell it what to do.

The first time, you authorize your lobster to access them: email connects over IMAP (Gmail works with an app password), and Google Calendar can be authorized for read access or shared through its private calendar address. The credentials stay in your own lobster container and are never shared with other members. You can also tell it to read only and never send, or to always check with you before sending. On Advanced, Roamer AI can help you set it up.

The OpenClaw software itself is free and open source, so you pay for two things: a server that keeps it running 24/7, and AI model usage. On RoamerHost, managed OpenClaw Pro is NT$599/mo with the server, your own subdomain, SSL and upkeep included; you bring your own model API key (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and more) and pay the provider directly for what you use. Advanced is NT$1,599/mo and includes Roamer AI usage: your lobster answers with the Roamer AI model by default, so there is no API key to sign up for, and the allowance resets daily at 00:00 Taipei time. Both plans are billed monthly with no contract and no cancellation fee.

Not on Pro: you bring your own API key for the language models your lobster uses while it works (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) and pay the provider directly. Advanced includes Roamer AI usage: your lobster answers with the Roamer AI model by default, no API key needed, and Roamer AI uses the same allowance when it sets up and builds your lobster. The allowance resets daily at 00:00 (Taipei time). Want a specific model? You can still add your own API key.

Both plans come with 10 GB of storage and browser automation; the difference is AI. Pro at NT$599 uses your own model API key and supports 1–5 custom agents, a good fit if you are happy to get a key and tune your secretary yourself. If you want it ready to go, choose Advanced at NT$1,599: AI usage included (your lobster can answer without your own API key), Roamer AI to set up your morning brief, reminder schedules and working rules for you, and 5–10 custom agents. You can upgrade at any time.

Once your OpenClaw instance is connected to Roamer AI, just say what you want: "send today's schedule and to-dos to my Telegram every morning at 7:30", "build me a customer-service agent", "it stopped replying, find out why". Roamer AI works inside your lobster to create agents, write their personality and rules, install skills, schedule jobs and read logs to debug, then tests the result. Every change can be undone, and it never sees your model API keys.

The browser is the big one. n8n works through APIs, so it can connect to anything that exposes one. OpenClaw can actually operate a web page (open it, click buttons, fill forms, read the screen), which covers systems that only have a web UI and no public API. For fixed, high-frequency automation n8n is cheaper, and plenty of people run both together.

It suits people whose days run on schedules, email and deadlines: employees, freelancers, small business owners. It speaks up before you ask: each morning it lines up your schedule and to-dos, picks out the emails you need to answer, reminds you before meetings and drafts replies in your voice, then sends it all to Telegram or Discord. If you only want to ask the occasional question or get a paragraph written, a chat tool like ChatGPT is enough. If you want to use it on LINE and want the same kind of task to get smoother each time, look at Hermes Agent, which learns as it works. If every service you need has an API and the flow is fixed, automating it with n8n costs less.

Telegram and Discord are supported. Once connected, you can give it instructions and get task updates right in the chat window instead of keeping a dashboard open.

Yes, it is what most people use their secretary for. Just tell it in plain language, like "give me today's schedule every morning at 7:30" or "check my inbox every 30 minutes and ping me when a client writes", and it will create a scheduled task, run it on time and push the result to your Telegram or Discord.

Stopping only pauses the container; all data stays and picks up where it left off when you start it again. After you cancel, the instance is suspended at the end of the current billing period and your data is kept for 3 months from the day of suspension. Renew within that window and everything comes back as it was; after 3 months it is permanently deleted. A "format and rebuild" also wipes the container data, and that action requires your own explicit confirmation.

Not on RoamerHost. About 60 seconds after payment you get an isolated OpenClaw container with its own HTTPS subdomain and SSL already set up, with no server, Node.js or Docker to touch. On Pro you then add your model API key and connect Telegram, which takes an evening with the post-install setup guide; on Advanced you can simply ask Roamer AI to set it up. To install it yourself, the project provides an install command and an onboarding wizard and needs Node.js 24.16 or later. It stops whenever your laptop sleeps or goes offline, though, so for 24/7 messaging and schedules the official docs recommend a VPS, and then the reverse proxy, SSL, updates and security settings (never expose the gateway admin port to the public internet) are all on you.

Self-hosting starts with buying a Mac Mini (an M4 starts at NT$19,900) or renting a VPS (about NT$500–2,000/mo), then handling Docker, a reverse proxy, SSL, backups and system updates yourself. On your everyday work computer it is a security risk, because the agent touches your API keys, browser cookies and company data; at home or in the office, a power or network outage stops it cold. Counting hardware, electricity and your time, self-hosting comes to roughly NT$1,500–3,000+ a month. Here, Pro starts at NT$599/mo in an isolated container that runs around the clock, and we run the infrastructure for you.

There is no official one. The OpenClaw website states there is no subscription and no hosted tier, so every managed OpenClaw service is a third party, and pricing, currency and how much upkeep they cover differ from host to host. What sets RoamerHost apart: monthly billing with no contract and company invoices available; each lobster runs in an isolated container with its own subdomain and SSL; and Advanced includes AI usage, so no API key is needed, plus Roamer AI can work inside your lobster to build agents, set up your morning brief and reminder schedules, and read logs to debug. For a side-by-side of self-hosting options and managed hosts with their prices, see our guide "How to Host OpenClaw: Local, VPS or Managed (2026)".

Each instance is an isolated Docker container: your lobster's files, memory and API keys live only inside your container, instances are fully isolated from one another, and the platform cannot read your keys. Roamer AI cannot see your model API key either when it works on your lobster. Every connection uses HTTPS.

Yes. Monthly billing with no contract: cancel in one click from the dashboard and billing stops at the end of the current term, with no termination fee; fees already paid for that term are not refunded. The best way to evaluate is to run the tasks you actually want to automate for a month; one full cycle tells you whether it fits.

Yes. At checkout, choose "Company invoice" under E-invoice and enter your company name and Taiwan Tax ID to receive a triplicate company invoice; individuals can choose "Personal receipt".

Your instance is live about 60 seconds after payment. On Pro, first-time setup means getting a model API key, connecting Telegram, authorizing your email and calendar and handing over your first tasks; following the post-install setup guide you can finish in an evening, no code required. Advanced comes with Roamer AI already connected, so you can skip the API key and simply ask Roamer AI in plain language to set up your morning brief, reminder schedules and working rules.

Yes. On the Free Trial page, pick OpenClaw and leave your contact details: no credit card, nothing to install. Our team sets up a trial environment so you can try it before you decide.

Start with the dashboard: you can restart or rebuild the instance yourself, and a restart fixes most connection problems. For how-to questions, ask Roamer, the chat assistant in the bottom-right corner, or use Roamer AI support in your dashboard.
