What is ClawdBot? It's Now OpenClaw
ClawdBot was the original name for the AI agent now known as OpenClaw. Deploy it on RunTheAgent and get a 24/7 always-on agent that browses the web, automates tasks, and messages you on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack.
ClawdBot — Where OpenClaw Began
ClawdBot was the first name given to the AI agent that is now OpenClaw. Named after the Claude AI model that originally powered it, ClawdBot was a proof of concept: could an AI agent actually browse websites, complete tasks, and report back via messaging apps?
The answer was yes. ClawdBot could open real browsers, navigate websites, fill forms, and send results to WhatsApp and Telegram. It wasn't a chatbot — it was a working agent. But it needed a server to run, and most people didn't want to manage one.
That's why ClawdBot evolved into MoltBot, and then OpenClaw — and why RunTheAgent exists. Today you can deploy OpenClaw on RunTheAgent in minutes and have a 24/7 AI agent running on managed cloud infrastructure for $32.50/month. No servers, no Docker, no SSH. Just deploy and start messaging your agent.
From ClawdBot's Promise to OpenClaw's Reality
Always-On Execution
ClawdBot ran on your machine and stopped when you closed it. OpenClaw on RunTheAgent runs 24/7 on managed infrastructure. It works while you sleep, browse, or do anything else.
Browser Automation at Scale
ClawdBot proved an AI agent could browse the web. OpenClaw perfected it with Playwright-powered headless browsers that navigate real websites, take screenshots, extract data, and fill forms autonomously.
Multi-Model Support
ClawdBot only used Claude. OpenClaw supports Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT models via BYOK (Bring Your Own Key). You choose the model, you control the cost.
Four Messaging Platforms
ClawdBot started with WhatsApp. OpenClaw connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and Slack. Text your deployed agent on any platform and it executes your request.
The ClawdBot → MoltBot → OpenClaw Evolution
ClawdBot (Original)
Claude-powered AI assistant with basic browser automation and WhatsApp integration. Required self-hosting on a VPS. Proved the concept of an AI agent that actually does work.
MoltBot (Second Name)
Added multi-model support, improved browser automation, and expanded to Telegram, Discord, and Slack. Still required self-hosting. Growing community of solopreneurs and freelancers.
OpenClaw (Current)
Refined agent with robust browser automation, natural language configuration, and managed deployment on RunTheAgent. $32.50/month for 24/7 always-on hosting. No DevOps required.
Deploy on RunTheAgent
One-click deployment. Add your API key, connect your messaging platform, and your OpenClaw agent starts working immediately. Isolated infrastructure, encrypted keys, automatic updates.
OpenClaw in Action — What ClawdBot Dreamed Of
Overnight Competitor Research
You message your deployed OpenClaw on WhatsApp at 10pm: 'Check the top 5 competitor websites and screenshot their pricing pages.' You wake up to a WhatsApp album with 5 screenshots and a text summary of pricing changes. OpenClaw opened real browsers, navigated each site, captured the pages, and sent you the results — all while you slept.
Continuous Job Board Monitoring
A freelancer deploys OpenClaw on RunTheAgent and configures it to check Upwork and LinkedIn for new projects every 2 hours. When a matching project appears, OpenClaw sends a Telegram alert with the job details, budget, and a link. The freelancer applies within minutes of posting — without ever opening a browser themselves.
Automated Form Submissions
A small business owner needs to submit weekly reports to 3 different government portals. Their deployed OpenClaw agent handles it every Monday morning: opens each portal in a real browser, logs in, fills the forms with the latest data, submits, and screenshots the confirmation pages. All sent via Slack.
Is ClawdBot Still Available?
No. ClawdBot has been fully replaced by OpenClaw. The name progression was ClawdBot → MoltBot → OpenClaw. All three are the same agent at different stages of development. OpenClaw is the current version with the most advanced browser automation, the broadest messaging platform support, and managed deployment on RunTheAgent.
If you discovered ClawdBot through an old link, blog post, or recommendation, know that the same team is behind OpenClaw and the mission hasn't changed: give everyone a 24/7 AI agent that actually does work.
Deploy OpenClaw on RunTheAgent — ClawdBot's Vision, Realized
ClawdBot showed that an AI agent could browse the web and complete tasks. OpenClaw on RunTheAgent makes that available to everyone — not just developers who can manage servers.
For $32.50/month plus your own API key (typically $5–30/month), you get a 24/7 AI agent that opens real browsers, navigates websites, fills forms, takes screenshots, and reports back on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack. Deploy in minutes, no technical skills required.
