Quick Start
Get your personal AI assistant running in under 5 minutes.
This guide walks you through the full setup process from account creation to your first conversation.
Prerequisites
- A Claude Pro or Max subscription from Anthropic
- A Telegram or Discord account
- About 5 minutes
Step 1: Create your account
Go to clawcloud.me/register and sign up with Google or email.
Step 2: Choose your messaging channel
After signing in, the setup wizard will ask you to pick a channel:
- Telegram — Create a bot via @BotFather and paste the token
- Discord — Create a bot in the Discord Developer Portal and paste the token
See the detailed Telegram setup or Discord setup guides if you need help creating a bot token.
Step 3: Deploy your server
Click Deploy and wait about 3 minutes. ClawCloud will:
- Provision a dedicated cloud server (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB storage)
- Install all dependencies (Node.js, Chrome, Docker, AI tools)
- Configure security (auto-TLS, firewall, auth)
You'll see a progress bar with each step. You can safely refresh the page — it will pick up where it left off.
Step 4: Connect your Claude account
Once the server is ready:
- Click Connect Claude
- Sign into your Claude account in the popup
- Authorize ClawCloud to access your subscription
- Copy the authorization code back into the wizard
Your Claude subscription continues to be billed by Anthropic. ClawCloud only charges for the cloud hosting.
Step 5: Start chatting
Your assistant is now live. Open Telegram or Discord and send it a message. Try something like:
- "What can you do?"
- "Search the web for the latest news about AI"
- "Write a Python script that downloads a webpage"
- "Analyze this spreadsheet" (attach a file)
