OpenClaw Power Build

OpenClaw with hands: code execution, workflows, and a voice.

Advanced build · Personal agents · 7 parts · Running cost: $3/mo + model usage

The full-strength OpenClaw rig. The agent can run code safely in a sandbox, trigger multi-step workflows, and speak — useful when you want it managing things, not just chatting.

Kit. You pick every part and run it yourself. Any model, any server, any search — and the bill is the sum of the parts.

An OpenClaw agent that runs code in a sandbox, triggers n8n workflows and speaks — managing things, not just chatting.

First-run setup: about 90 minutes.

What drives the cost: Medium — sandbox and voice add usage fees

Run this build

Start the build and it becomes a checklist: for each part, mark the one you already have, pick an alternative of a kind the slot takes, or compare the options side by side; for a plan, a channel or a policy, choose one of the options. Every part you confirm goes onto your stack, and the build is complete when every required part is filled.
