Clawputer

What is Clawputer?

Clawputer is a persistent AI assistant that runs continuously inside an OpenComputer cloud sandbox. It routes queries to Claude through OpenRouter, integrates with gbrain for long-term memory, and exposes a Telegram bot interface so you can chat with your always-on assistant from anywhere on any device.

Top Features:

• Always-on sandbox: runs in the cloud 24/7 with no local install or laptop required.
• Claude routing: uses OpenRouter to call Claude models for reasoning, drafting, and tool calls.
• Memory layer: integrates with gbrain to remember past chats, files, and preferences.
• Telegram interface: chat with your assistant from any device using a private Telegram bot.
• Automation hooks: trigger background tasks, scheduled jobs, and indexing of personal knowledge.

Use Cases:

• Personal assistant: ask Claude on the go through a Telegram chat that remembers context.
• Knowledge indexing: feed documents to gbrain and query them later from any chat session.
• Background research: kick off jobs that run while you sleep and report results in Telegram.
• Long-running tasks: run agentic workflows that survive restarts thanks to persistent storage.
• Code automation: wire Claude into scheduled scripts, cron jobs, and backend workflows.

Who Can Use Clawputer?

• Developers: engineers who want a persistent Claude-powered agent running in the cloud.
• Indie makers: solo builders who need an always-on assistant for product and admin tasks.
• Power users: people who chat with Claude all day and want memory across sessions.
• Researchers: teams running long, multi-step agent jobs that need durable execution.

Pricing

• Cloud sandbox (paid): hosted on OpenComputer infrastructure with usage-based cloud sandbox fees.
• OpenRouter usage: pay per Claude token used, charged through your OpenRouter account directly.
• BYO API keys: you bring keys for Claude, OpenRouter, and gbrain, then pay each provider directly.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Persistent runtime: the assistant lives in the cloud and survives restarts and disconnections.
• Telegram-first UX: chat with your AI from any device through a familiar messaging interface.
• Memory built-in: gbrain integration gives the agent long-term recall across conversations.

Cons:

• Technical setup: connecting OpenRouter, gbrain, and a Telegram bot requires developer skills.
• Multiple providers: you pay OpenComputer, OpenRouter, and gbrain separately for usage.
• Limited UI: Telegram is the main interface, so visual tools are minimal compared to a web app.
