Get ClawBox — €549Most AI hardware arrives as a bare board with a GitHub link and a prayer. You spend a weekend installing operating systems, pulling Docker images, configuring YAML files, and troubleshooting driver conflicts. By Monday, you still don't have a working AI assistant.
The ClawBox install experience is the opposite of that. Every device ships pre-loaded with OpenClaw software, pre-configured models, and a guided setup wizard that takes you from sealed box to working AI assistant in under five minutes. There is nothing to compile, nothing to configure, and nothing to debug. The entire ClawBox install process was designed so that anyone — regardless of technical background — can have a private, local AI running on their home network before their coffee gets cold.
This is possible because ClawBox is purpose-built hardware paired with purpose-built software. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB board, the 512GB NVMe storage, the power delivery, and the software stack are all tested and optimized together before the box ships. You're not assembling components — you're unboxing a finished product.
Follow these five steps to complete your ClawBox install. Total time: under 5 minutes.
Inside the package you'll find the ClawBox device, a USB-C power adapter, and a quick-start card with a QR code. That's everything you need — no extra cables, no SD cards, no accessories required.
💡 Keep the quick-start card handy — it has your device's unique pairing code.
Connect the USB-C power adapter to your ClawBox and plug it into any wall outlet. The device draws only 15 watts — less than a laptop charger. The status LED will turn solid green within 30 seconds, indicating the system is ready.
💡 ClawBox runs 24/7 for about €1.50/month in electricity at average EU rates.
Plug in an Ethernet cable for the fastest, most reliable connection. Alternatively, use the Wi-Fi setup: connect your phone to the ClawBox hotspot that appears during first boot, then select your home Wi-Fi network from the list. The device connects automatically and you'll never need to do this again.
💡 Ethernet is recommended for browser automation tasks. Wi-Fi works great for chat and messaging.
Once connected to your network, ClawBox displays a QR code on the connected monitor (or at its local IP address in your browser). Scan this QR code with your smartphone to open the OpenClaw pairing page. Choose your preferred messaging platform — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Signal — and link your account with one tap.
💡 No monitor? Find ClawBox on your network at clawbox.local or check your router's device list for the IP address.
That's it — your ClawBox install is complete. Send your first message through your linked messaging app and your private AI assistant will respond. Everything runs locally on the device. Your conversations never leave your network. Welcome to owning your own AI.
💡 Try asking ClawBox to browse the web, check your email, or set a reminder to explore what it can do.
When you complete the ClawBox install, you don't just get a bare AI model — you get a fully equipped digital assistant platform. Here's what's running on your device from day one:
Once your ClawBox install is complete and you've sent your first message, here are the best ways to explore what your new AI assistant can do:
Browse the web privately: Ask ClawBox to look something up, compare prices, or research a topic. It uses a built-in browser that runs on the device — no cloud proxy, no tracking, no data harvesting.
Manage your schedule: Connect your Google Calendar and let ClawBox check your upcoming events, create new ones, and send you reminders before meetings.
Automate repetitive tasks: Set up recurring jobs — daily news summaries, inbox checks, weather reports, or custom workflows. ClawBox runs 24/7 on your network, so it's always available.
Build custom skills: ClawBox is built on open-source OpenClaw software. Write your own skills in plain text to teach your AI new tricks — from smart home commands to API integrations.

Wait 60 seconds for the full boot sequence. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you connected to the ClawBox hotspot first (it appears as "ClawBox-XXXX" during initial setup). If using Ethernet, try a different port on your router. The status LED should be solid green when the device is ready.
Make sure your phone and ClawBox are on the same Wi-Fi network. Try opening the pairing URL manually in your browser — it's shown below the QR code on screen. If you don't have a monitor connected, navigate to http://clawbox.local or check your router for the device's IP address.
ClawBox checks for updates automatically and applies them in the background. You can also trigger a manual update from the admin panel. Updates are delivered over-the-air and never require a reinstall — your conversations, settings, and custom skills are preserved.
Yes. Hold the reset button for 3 seconds to enter network setup mode. ClawBox will broadcast its setup hotspot again, letting you connect to a new Wi-Fi network. Ethernet connections work immediately on any network.
A typical ClawBox install takes under 5 minutes. The device arrives pre-configured with OpenClaw software, so there are no operating system installs, no Docker containers to pull, and no configuration files to edit. You unbox it, plug in power, connect to your network, scan the QR code, and start chatting with your AI assistant immediately.
No technical skills are required. The ClawBox install process is designed for anyone — you never need to open a terminal, write code, or edit config files. If you can plug in a cable and scan a QR code with your phone, you can install ClawBox. The device ships with everything pre-configured and tested.
You need the ClawBox device (€549, ships with power adapter included), a Wi-Fi network or Ethernet cable, and a smartphone with Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord installed. Optionally, connect an HDMI monitor to see the on-screen setup wizard, but it's not required — you can also access the setup page via your browser at the device's local IP address.
Yes. ClawBox includes a factory reset option accessible from the admin panel. This wipes your conversations and custom settings, returning the device to its original state. A full ClawBox reinstall takes about 3 minutes and doesn't require any external tools or USB drives.
An internet connection is needed for the initial setup to download the latest AI models and link your messaging accounts. After the first ClawBox install is complete, the device can run entirely offline for local AI tasks. Cloud-connected features like web browsing and messaging naturally require internet access.
