Getting Started with OpenClaw
Deploying an AI bot used to require months of development, infrastructure setup, and ongoing maintenance. With OpenClaw, you can go from zero to a live AI assistant in under 5 minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Account
- Visit openclaw-portal.restai.vn
- Sign up with your email address
- Verify your email — you're in!
The Basic plan gives you a 14-day free trial to explore the platform.
Step 2: Create a Bot on Telegram
- Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
- Send
/newbotand follow the prompts - Choose a name and username for your bot
- Copy the bot token — you'll need it in the next step
Step 3: Connect Your Bot to OpenClaw
- In the OpenClaw dashboard, click Create Bot
- Paste your Telegram bot token
- Write a system prompt that defines your bot's personality
- Choose an AI model (we recommend Gemini 2.0 Flash for starters)
- Click Deploy
That's it. Your bot is live.
Step 4: Configure Skills
Enable the skills your bot needs:
- Web Search — let your bot browse the internet
- Code Runner — execute code snippets
- File Processing — analyze documents and images
- Calculator — perform calculations
Each skill extends what your bot can do — without writing any code.
Step 5: Test and Share
Send a message to your bot on Telegram. It should respond using the AI model and skills you configured.
Share your bot's username with friends, colleagues, or customers. They can start chatting immediately.
