Claw Studio Overview

We’re building an intelligent, customized, secure, and private operating system for families. We’re at the very beginning. Our early clients will tell us what we need, we’ll build it, and we’ll keep scaling to create a full-scale family office run by AI agents plus the essential humans who do the in-person work. Over the next ten years, AI agents and robots will take all the repetitive tasks, freeing you and your staff to do more important things. Before then, a single-family office will be within reach of anyone with just a few million dollars in assets - a completely new world for HNW families. 

HNW families should be the early adopters of this technology. They are best positioned to take advantage of all the exciting developments coming. Our goal is to give you the benefits and reduce the risk so you can experiment and keep building your agent teams. Over time, what we build together will benefit many new families who today don’t have the assets required to set up a single-family office.

We all know people who have been ripped off by humans they thought they could trust. The more they have access to, the more you can lose. Ultimately, it will be less risky to use technology than to keep using humans. You may not think you’re ready, but ask yourself: how safe am I right now? We will keep expanding what we can do for you while limiting the downside potential. 

This is a feature-by-feature overview of our service, along with options and pricing. For our bios and more marketing information, see our website. 

Open Claw

Claw Studio provides a managed server that hosts AI agents and their data. We set it up and maintain it for you. You own your data and all the files necessary to run the agents. We actively manage and secure that environment.

We use OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent platform that connects to applications, runs 24/7 and includes built-in storage. OpenClaw launched at the end of January 2026 and is still considered beta software. It is very much an experiment — one of the most popular experiments in history, but still the Wild West. Our goal is to help you harness its capabilities while keeping you safe.

Your setup depends on what you want your AI agent to do. We'll make sure you have the right processing power and storage, with backups and best-practice operations baked in. 

We charge a one-time setup fee, a monthly maintenance fee, and extra fees for additional functionality. 

How to think about your OpenClaw agents

Think of hiring a remote team. They speak 200 languages fluently. They master any software. They can program. You can have as many of them as you like working 24/7 on multiple projects simultaneously. They never get sick. They scale from 1 to 20 employees to meet your needs, then they scale back down just as quickly. They work as a team for a few thousand dollars a month.

They can also make mistakes. They can be manipulated, fooled, or bribed. Their systems can be hacked. You may trust them, but that trust may not always be warranted. You can't always know what they are thinking, and you don't know all the ways things can go wrong. Most of us know at least one story about a trusted employee who was secretly stealing. Since we’re building a system around software, we hope to reduce your exposure even more than if you had humans doing the same job. 

Agents are LLM instances that run autonomously and use tools. Your Chief of Staff (see below) can create and delete them on demand, or set them up for specific jobs and keep them around. At any one time, you can have no agents running or a dozen— it depends entirely on what needs to get done.

For now, agents don't get to know you the way a human does. They can't recognize your voice, for example. They can only see and use the data you've given them. But if someone else contacts them and claims to be you, they may believe it — which is why we build security measures into the system.

Your agents can work in any ecosystem you create. Here's a common one …

Level

Top

Middle

Lower

Since we use a single license for ChatGPT, that is the LLM that drives all your workers.

Personas

Your Chief of Staff is your primary interface to the entire team. Many clients give this agent a full persona — a name, a personality, even a backstory and cultural background. You can give them a face and a voice.

Choose a name that no one you regularly interact with shares, so you don't get confused. It shouldn't be easy to guess, but it should be easy to say out loud. Names like Apple, Argon, Alp, Byron, Benson, Bria, Chewie, Cap, Cord, Drop, Depp, Dusk, Ember, Egan, Fab, Fern, Ford, Freeman — you get the idea.

You don't need to name the rest of the team, though you can ask your Chief of Staff to do that. You can interact with lower-level agents directly, or let your Chief of Staff be the single input-output interface for the whole system.

Long-term memory

OpenClaw can remember everything you've ever told it, but you want to organize that data so it's easy to find later. For example, it can automatically pull every transcript from every Zoom call and log it word-for-word into a database — making it easy to mine later. You can feed it all kinds of information: contacts, schedules, children's education records, medical records, tax returns, detailed records of everything you own, vehicle and home maintenance history, and much more. You want to build a digital family brain everyone can access and use to find anything just by asking for it.

Internal apps

Your agent team can build and maintain its own apps and databases:

• CRM and dossier manager for people and companies

• Calendar

• To-do list

• Trip database

• Decision log

• Property management

• Subscription management

• API management

• Insurance database

• Contract database

These apps give agents a known place to look for specific information, rather than scanning everything they've ever stored. You set these up with your Chief of Staff. They can be simple databases or full-featured apps. They evolve over time.

Security

Just as no human-centered system is fully secure, no AI agent system is fully secure. OpenClaw is powerful but not immune to bugs or attacks. The main threat categories are impersonation, prompt injection, account spoofing, and phone-number spoofing.

This doesn't prevent you from getting tremendous value from your agents. It means you need to avoid obvious mistakes and maintain tight controls against sophisticated attacks. Our security principles:

Limit your exposure. The less you have at risk, the less you'll regret something going wrong. Don't give your agents access to your primary accounts. Give them their own accounts with limited permissions. If you want your agents to buy and sell things, give them their own account with controls that cap what they can do (see the list below to learn what’s possible today). More access means more power — and more potential damage.

Take small steps. Add functionality, then test it in stages before bringing it up to speed.

Use secret words. Including a special word in a message lets your agents know the message came from you. It's not foolproof, but an attacker would need to hack your email to get it. WhatsApp and Telegram are more secure than Gmail for this purpose. We’ll coach you through this and help you set up your protocol. 

Change passwords and secret words often. Ask your Chief of Staff to remind you regularly. Most people get lazy here.

Use encrypted email. We can configure this inside Gmail. There's a tradeoff between ease of use and security — we'll discuss what's right for you.

Confirm important requests through a separate channel. If your Chief of Staff receives a consequential request via WhatsApp, they can text you directly or message you on WhatsApp to confirm you sent it. A sophisticated attacker could theoretically spoof both your email and your phone number — which is equally true for human employees. The more important the action, the more safeguards you need.

Assume a hack will happen. You'll eventually give your agents' contact details out more freely than your own. Assume someone — or another AI agent — will try to attack those interfaces. Identity theft is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Plan for it.

Use tools designed for AI agents. There is already a debit card built specifically for agent use, and you can give your agents a Coinbase account for limited crypto operations. More options are coming. We'll test them, set them up, and train you on how to use them.

Privacy

How much personal information do you share with your agent team? Not everything. Your data is as secure as we can make it, but you can't fully prevent someone from talking your agents into revealing your secrets. If you own a private jet, you wouldn't want anyone to extract your travel schedule from your agents. Feeding your security cameras into the OpenClaw system would give your agents powerful property-management capability — and would also be a target for anyone wanting to know when you're home. We'll work with you to limit access to your most sensitive details while preserving as much functionality as possible.

One step at a time

Every day, you rely on critical open-source infrastructure: Darwin (Apple's macOS), Linux (Android), Apache (email), and many others. The OpenClaw ecosystem will continue to harden and mature. Within a year, your OpenClaw agents could be your entire accounting team and file your taxes automatically. If not in a year, then almost certainly within three.

That's why we don't rush. We plan to build each client a solid foundation and add functionality in stages. You'll always be asking us for the next thing, and we’ll always be working on making it safe for you. Your agent team should always be improving. We want to start with the minimum viable system and improve every month. 

The starter package

Virtual Private Server. We create and maintain this. This includes the right amount of processing power, memory, storage, 99% uptime, and automated backups. We'll adjust capacity as your usage changes.

OpenClaw installation. Standard configuration. 

Initial integrations:

Free Gmail account for your Chief of Staff (other email platforms available): We will create an email account for your Chief of Staff and give them partial access to your calendar

Twilio phone number with text 

Voice input and output

LLM integration. Our standard LLM is an OpenAI ChatGPT pro subscription. This gives you a generous but not unlimited use of ChatGPT inside the system. We can integrate any number of LLMs for an extra charge. The main requirement is an API account for each LLM you want to use. These are different from the fixed-price subscriptions you probably have now. API accounts charge per token read and written, not per month. We'll set up those accounts and add a small percentage for managing the service. You'll automatically get the most current model available. 

Phone integration. We will set your Chief of Staff up with a Twilio phone number that allows text and voice messaging. This gives you a standard use of calls and text messages, but not unlimited. 

Communication channels

The starter package includes:

Phone number, voice, and text

Personal email

WhatsApp or Telegram

In WhatsApp and Telegram, your agent will have his/her own account. You'll have a direct one-on-one conversation with your Chief of Staff, and you can invite him/her to any group you want.

That's the starter package. Because we are voice specialists, we include voice capability that very few others offer.

Slack and Discord

Power users will want to work inside Slack or Discord, where they can run simultaneous conversations on multiple projects and invite family or staff members. Not everyone needs this. Slack costs much more than Discord does, but it’s easier to use. We'll discuss it after the starter package is running. 

Adding users

Many people eventually want their whole family and extended network in the system. We won't do that at the start. We’ll get it working for one or two people first.

Social media

Most people will want to start with one social-media account connected. Agents are powerful here — and so are the risks:

Account compromise. If the agent or its API keys are breached, your account can be hijacked.

Platform bans. Automation can trigger rate limits or policy violations.

Hallucinations and tone drift. The agent may post inaccurate or brand-damaging content.

Prompt injection. Malicious comments or DMs can manipulate the agent.

Data leakage. DMs, analytics, or CRM data can be exposed.

Brand erosion. Over-automation can degrade authenticity and audience trust.

There are also platform limits. Many networks won't allow API access on personal accounts — they require a business account. Here's where each major platform stands:

Instagram. We can convert your personal account to a Creator account. We'll walk you through that on a call.

Facebook. Requires a business account. We can't use agents on a personal Facebook account.

X (Twitter). Requires a Basic account at $100/month. A free account gives agents almost nothing to work with.

LinkedIn. Has a free personal API for posting. Setup requires a developer app and a company page, which can be a placeholder. The access token expires every two months and needs to be regenerated. We'll help set this up.

Snapchat. Requires a business account.

TikTok. Any personal account can register as a developer for free, but a mandatory app audit blocks public posts until approved. Until then, all posts are private and capped at five users per 24 hours. The review takes three to seven days.

For these reasons, social media is not part of the starter package. After the first month or two, you'll choose a network, and we'll discuss what it will take, how to get it going, and what we'll charge.

Number of users

The starter package is quoted for one user. Many people want a personal assistant or a spouse involved from the beginning. In that case, there’s an extra charge (see “Pricing”). We can add children and other staff later, after we get the system working well. 

Integrations

OpenClaw can integrate any service that offers an API key. Each platform has its own access rules. We charge extra to set these up. Most of them are easy to set up but tricky to use in practice. Consider these experiments you want to do and see how it goes.

Instagram - Limited access, creator account required

X/Twitter - Limited access, write-only is free; $100/mo for read access

LinkedIn - Open access, remarkably useful, placeholder company page required

TikTok - Limited access, audit is required before posts go public

These will change. More will become available. We’ll add them one at a time. We won't allow you to add integrations on your own — you'll work with us on each one. You could set up your own, but it would be a bad idea. We want to keep you safe at every stage.

Debit cards

Debit cards are a practical way to give agents spending ability. Agent-specific accounts are emerging with built-in controls that cap how much an agent can spend. We'll keep you current on the best options.

Crypto and stock trading

You wouldn't give an agent access to your primary stock-trading account — and it can't open its own, since it has no legal identity. But you can give it your portfolio data and connect it to signal providers, or have it do research and scanning and deliver trade recommendations for you to act on. You can also give it a Coinbase account with a limited crypto allocation and see how it performs.

Maintenance

We maintain your server, all APIs, connections, and integrations. We stay current with the latest OpenClaw versions and keep backups running. We can also help maintain and evolve the prompts that shape how your agents behave — and we actively research what works best. You shouldn't need anything special from us unless a new integration requires attention. If you ever want a backup of all your data, just ask your Chief of Staff to generate one.

Support

You get ten hours of support per month via WhatsApp or a dedicated Slack or Discord channel. Hours above that are billed separately, but ten hours covers most of your needs comfortably.

Timeline

In the first few months, take baby steps. More and more will be developed each week, and we’ll bring you new functionality and options all the time. We’ll host a weekly zoom call for all clients and assistants to show what’s new, answer questions, and keep you building your dream system. 

Month 1
Enter your initial personal data and family data, organize your team, have your CoS do small projects. Get your calendar working and hand off scheduling to your CoS. Use phone and Telegram or Whatsapp.

Month 2
Send it emails automatically and have it deal with them.Set up your daily briefing, to-do lists, initial projects and agents. Set up Slack or Discord. Invite one or two people from your family or staff. 

Month 3
Do experiments with your most important project: social media, travel, schedule, etc. 

Month 4
Add features to your main project. Set up the next one. 

Month 5
Start fleshing out your back office team and getting them going on projects that will turn into procedures. 

Billing and account management

We set up most third-party accounts and pay for them on your behalf. We send an itemized bill each month for any additional third-party costs. We stay in touch via Slack, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, or email — whichever you prefer.

Included in the monthly maintenance fee:

• Hosting

• Backups

• ChatGPT plan that is very generous but not unlimited

• Security monitoring and protocol updates

• Ten hours of human customer support

• Phone bill (domestic calls and texts)

• Discussions about what to integrate next

Third-party services you’ll pay for as you use them: 

• More LLMs if needed

• Integrations as requested

Starter package setup, one user - $10,000

Starter package setup, two users - $12,000

Monthly maintenance - $3,000/mo

Extra fees for services used - As quoted

More integrations, customization - As quoted

Economics

The setup just gets you started. In general, you’ll pay us about $20-30k per year to: 

• Maintain your Open Claw platform

• Keep you backed up

• Keep you safe

• Keep making new agents that can do new tasks

• Keep adding features that give you more power

• Have the equivalent of 10-20 humans working for you around the clock 

We want to keep growing, giving you more and more capability each month. Tell us what you want and we’ll build it for you. 

Contract

We’ll need to sign a contract. Here’s a summary …

• We’ll specify exactly what we will deliver. 

• We need the full starter package amount in full to begin your installation. We’ll send you a Stripe payment link. 

• We need some basic information from you: email accounts, which options, etc. 

• We’ll Set up your server and install everything. 

• We’ll get your agent’s email and phone number. 

• We’ll connect your agent’s Gmail account to your calendar. 

• We’ll connect your agent to your chosen channels.

• You’ll be able to call it, message it, and get started having it do work for you. 

• You’ll want to spend the first week or so uploading a lot of information to it: contacts, documents, information about yourself and your family. We’ll help you connect various tools you want to work with. 

• We’ll provide in-person and video training on how to get going. 

• We’ll let you start working with your team and be ready to support you as you grow. 

• We do not have a money-back guarantee, any more than a contractor would to add a new room to your house. Our expenses are significant; we don’t make that much money on your Starter Package. We do guarantee that we’ll do what we said we would do, and if anything breaks, we’ll fix it. 

OpenClaw is cutting-edge technology. Things will break! Things will change. We’ll work with you to make sure everything is working as well as possible at all times. 

We’ll bill you once a month for your maintenance fee and all software usage we agreed to set up. You’ll receive updates showing how you are using your system, what it’s costing, and recommendations for saving money on outside services.
