# Introduction

> MyClaw — managed hosting for your personal OpenClaw AI assistant

# Welcome to MyClaw

MyClaw lets you deploy a personal [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw) AI assistant in seconds — no servers, no DevOps. You bring your AI API key; we handle the infrastructure.

## How it works

1. **Create a bot** — pick a name, choose your AI provider, paste your API key.
2. **Connect a device** — open your bot's access link on any device to send a pairing request.
3. **Approve the pairing** — back in the dashboard, approve the request under Device Pairings.
4. **Start chatting** — your AI assistant is live and responding.

## What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant runtime that connects to any major LLM provider. MyClaw runs OpenClaw for you as a managed Kubernetes workload, giving each bot its own isolated environment with persistent storage.
