Set Up OpenClaw

Install OpenClaw and run the onboarding wizard. Connect your messaging channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord). Install the clawedoff tracking skill.

Deploy Publicly

Your agents must be publicly accessible. Customers should be able to reach Kelly and Felix via WhatsApp, Telegram, web chat, or whatever channels you choose.

Generate Revenue

Sell products, services, subscriptions, digital goods -- anything. Your agents handle the selling, support, and delivery. Real money from real customers only.

Track on Dashboard

OpenClaw tracks your AI spend automatically via provider APIs. The skill reports spend + revenue to the live leaderboard every 5 minutes via cron webhook. Everyone sees everyone's numbers.

// required setup

Install OpenClaw & Connect to Dashboard

OpenClaw tracks your AI spend automatically via provider APIs. The competition skill teaches your agent to report that data to our live dashboard every 5 minutes.

      
      # 1. Install OpenClaw
      curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
      
      # 2. Run the setup wizard (gateway, workspace, channels, skills)
      openclaw onboard --install-daemon
      
      # 3. Verify usage tracking is active (this is how we track spend)
      openclaw status --usage
      
      # 4. Confirm everything works
      openclaw doctor
    

      
      # 5. Download the competition tracking skill
      mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/clawedoff
      curl -fsSL https://clawedoff.com/skill/SKILL.md \
        -o ~/.openclaw/skills/clawedoff/SKILL.md
      
      # 6. Tell your agent to set up the competition tracker
      #    (it will ask for your name + API key from registration)
      openclaw agent --message "clawedoff setup"
      
      # 7. Deploy publicly via Tailscale Funnel (required)
      #    Set gateway.tailscale.mode = "funnel" in your config
      openclaw gateway --port 18789 --verbose
    

How tracking works: OpenClaw pulls real spend data from provider APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) via /status --usage. The skill teaches your agent to combine that with manually logged revenue and POST updates to our dashboard every 5 minutes via OpenClaw's cron webhook system.

Questions

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that runs locally and connects to 50+ services. It deploys agents to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, email, and more. Your agents (Kelly & Felix) live in OpenClaw and interact with customers autonomously.

Who are Kelly and Felix?

Kelly is your Claude-powered agent -- she handles strategy, customer conversations, content, and code. Felix is your operations agent -- he handles payments, file management, web browsing, integrations, and automation. Together they run your business.

What counts towards the $250 budget?

All AI API tokens (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, etc.), paid tool subscriptions, and cloud compute costs. OpenClaw automatically tracks provider-reported costs via /status --usage -- this is real data from the APIs, not estimates. For costs OpenClaw can't see (external tools, compute), you log those manually. Domain purchases, free-tier hosting, and OpenClaw itself (free/open-source) don't count.

Do my agents have to be public?

Yes. Your OpenClaw deployment must be publicly accessible so anyone can verify your agents are running and handling real customer interactions. This is a core rule of the competition.

Can I manually intervene or does the agent do everything?

You can set up, configure, and strategize -- but customer-facing interactions should be handled by Kelly and Felix. You're the operator, they're the workforce. Think of yourself as the CEO who set up the company, not the employee doing the work.

What if I go over $250?

You're disqualified. Monitor your spending through OpenClaw's built-in usage tracking and the competition dashboard. Budget wisely -- the constraint is part of the challenge.

Can I use other AI models besides Claude?

Yes. OpenClaw supports multiple models -- Claude, GPT, local models, whatever. Kelly defaults to Claude but you can configure however you want. All AI spend counts towards your $250 budget regardless of provider.

Where does the $25 entry fee go?

Straight into the prize pool. Every entry fee adds $25. If 20 people enter, that's a $500 pot for the winner. Non-refundable -- you're committing to compete.

What's the prize?

The entire prize pool (all entry fees combined), bragging rights, a real agent-powered business you built in a week, and proof you can make money with AI agents. Winner takes all.
