Clawdi
Run OpenClaw and Hermes agents in the cloud — zero setup required
The Panel's Take
Clawdi is a fully managed cloud platform for running AI agents like OpenClaw, Hermes, and Claude Code without any local configuration. Each user gets a sandboxed cloud VM with persistent memory, a browser, file editing, and terminal access — all running inside Phala's confidential compute infrastructure (TEE) for privacy and isolation. The platform decouples agent memory, API keys, skills, and app integrations from the underlying engine, so you can switch frameworks without losing your entire setup. It ships with OAuth integrations for Gmail and Slack, built-in cron job scheduling, browser automation, and long-term memory. Getting started takes roughly three minutes — no terminal, no YAML, no Docker. Built by Marvin Tong, Maggie Liu, and Xiaolu, Clawdi directly solves the agentic developer's most painful friction: rebuilding your setup from scratch every time you try a new agent framework. At $29/month flat, it targets individuals and small teams who want always-on cloud agents without managing infrastructure.

“This is the 'it just works' solution I've been wanting for months. Spinning up a persistent OpenClaw instance in the cloud without touching config files is genuinely liberating — and the Phala TEE backing means my API keys aren't just floating in someone's S3 bucket.”
“At $29/month you're paying for a single managed agent VM, which is expensive compared to just renting a small VPS and running it yourself. The lock-in to their specific supported frameworks (OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code) will bite you the moment you want something they don't support yet.”
“Clawdi is a prototype of what 'personal AI infrastructure' looks like when it matures. Persistent memory + always-on agents + confidential compute is a legitimate architectural unlock — the TEE angle alone makes this interesting for privacy-sensitive enterprise use cases.”
“For non-technical creators who want an agent that remembers context, stays online, and connects to Gmail and Slack without requiring a DevOps background, this hits a real gap. The three-minute setup promise is the key feature for this audience.”
