Openclaw Cookbook

🦞 OpenClaw Cookbook

**Your AI agent gateway, running on your machine, talking to your users, using any model you choose.**

OpenClaw is a self-hosted, multi-channel AI agent gateway. This cookbook gives you production-ready recipes to go from zero to a fully deployed AI agent system — with real configs you can copy, real docker-compose files you can run, and real scenarios you can ship.

**This is not documentation.** The [official docs](https://github.com/anthropics/openclaw) cover every flag and option. This cookbook covers *how to actually build things* — the patterns, the gotchas, the recipes that work in production.
