Three Ways to Run Clawn

Clawn is accessible to everyone — you can run it anywhere. The question is how much time you want to spend on infrastructure vs. actually using your AI assistant.

Self-host on a VPS

Full control, 24/7 uptime for techies.

24/7 Availability globally

Who is Clawn Managed for?

We built our managed cloud explicitly for creators who value their time.

Developers

Who want an AI agent running 24/7 without babysitting a server or dealing with Docker networking.

Makers & Founders

Who would rather spend their weekend building product features than configuring Nginx and SSL certs.

Family & Friends

People who want to set up an always-on AI assistant for non-technical friends or family members easily.

Teams

That need multiple isolated agent instances running reliably, with shared knowledge bases and secure APIs.
