OpenClaw is the most talked-about open-source AI agent framework on the planet — 180,000+ GitHub stars, the ability to send your emails, manage your calendar, monitor the web, and run autonomous tasks 24/7. The catch? Actually getting it installed, secured, and configured properly is a nightmare for most people. We're here to fix that.
If you've been following the AI space, you've seen OpenClaw everywhere. It's the framework that turns a large language model into a genuine personal AI agent — one that doesn't just answer questions, but actually does things on your behalf. It handles email, schedules meetings, watches websites, runs cron jobs, remembers your context across conversations, and connects to dozens of apps through its plugin ecosystem.
The problem isn't the software. The software is free and open-source under the MIT licence. The problem is everything around it: provisioning servers, configuring Docker containers, hardening security, setting up OAuth integrations, managing API keys, handling SSL certificates, debugging at 2am when a workflow breaks. For most people, it's a second job.
That's where we come in. agenti.nz now offers professional OpenClaw installation and deployment — locally in Christchurch and Canterbury, remotely across New Zealand and Australia, and worldwide.
The San Francisco Tax Is Real
Here's what OpenClaw installation services cost around the world right now:
The SF pricing is extraordinary — a single company charges up to US$6,000 for an on-site setup in the Bay Area. That's roughly NZ$10,000 to install free, open-source software. Even their remote option starts at US$5,000. We think that's absurd, and we're offering a genuine alternative from the other side of the Pacific.
What We Actually Do
This isn't just clicking "install." A proper OpenClaw deployment involves server provisioning, security hardening, integration configuration, workflow setup, and ongoing support. We handle it end-to-end so you can start using your AI agent on day one.
Hardware Setup
Mac Mini, Mac Studio, Linux server, Windows PC, or cloud VPS — we deploy on whatever you've got.
Security Hardening
Docker sandboxing, firewall rules, exec allowlists, OAuth middleware, and read-only defaults. No exposed credentials.
Integrations
Email, calendar, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack — connected and tested. Up to 5 channels included.
AI Model Config
We set up your preferred LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or local models via Ollama — with prompt caching to cut costs by 50–70%.
Workflow Automation
Custom cron jobs, heartbeat triggers, and task automations tailored to your actual use case.
Training & Handover
1-on-1 walkthrough so you understand your system. Includes documentation specific to your setup.

What Does Support Actually Cover?
All support covers the OpenClaw deployment we built for you — not general IT support, unrelated software, or rebuilding from scratch if something is modified outside our setup. Here's how the tiers differ:
7-Day Support (Essentials)
A safety net. If something we configured breaks or doesn't work as expected within the first week, we fix it. Reach us via email for troubleshooting and quick config questions.
14-Day Hypercare (Professional)
Reactive support focused on stability. We fix config issues that arise, troubleshoot broken workflows, patch anything affected by OpenClaw updates, and answer "how do I do X" questions via email or a shared channel. Think of it as a warranty period — if something we set up fails, we fix it.
30-Day Guided Onboarding (On-Site)
Everything in hypercare, plus proactive support. We check in at day 7 and day 21, help you add one or two new workflows as you discover what you need, make minor config adjustments as you settle in, and run a brief health check before the support window closes. This is guided onboarding — not just a safety net, but a partner making sure you're getting real value from your setup.
What About Ongoing Costs?
Our installation fee is one-time. After that, the only recurring costs are the ones inherent to running OpenClaw itself: your server hosting (typically NZ$8–25/month for a VPS) and your AI model API usage. Most personal users spend between NZ$8–20/month on API tokens for light to moderate use. Heavy automation can push higher, but we configure prompt caching and smart model routing to keep costs down from day one.
If you run OpenClaw on a Mac Mini at home, your hosting cost is zero — just your electricity bill and internet connection. We'll help you decide which approach makes sense for your situation.
Who Is This For?
- •Freelancers and solo operators who want an AI that handles admin work around the clock.
- •Small businesses looking to automate customer comms, monitoring, and scheduling without hiring.
- •Developers who could install it themselves but would rather save a weekend and get proper security hardening.
- •Anyone curious about running their own AI agent but put off by the technical barrier — we remove that barrier entirely.
