After OpenClaw became popular, its popularity gave rise to a door-to-door installation business, and the fees were high.The overseas installation platform SetupClaw has a clear price tag: hosted installation is US$3,000, remote configuration is US$5,000, and on-site configuration is US$6,000.; Related services have also appeared on domestic social platforms, charging 500-7,000 yuan per time and supporting on-site acceptance.
OpenClaw is an open source AI assistant that can be deployed locally. It can perform tasks directly on the computer without relying on the cloud. However, its installation threshold is high and it requires a specific version of Node.js. It also requires inputting instructions on the command line to complete the configuration. The complex technical process prohibits ordinary users.
To simplify installation, Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, etc. have launched pre-installed versions of OpenClaw, and third parties have also developed installation assistants and teaching services.For users without technical background, paid installation has become a convenient option, which also continues the market trend of paying for the AI knowledge gap..
In addition, OpenClaw is only a framework and does not contain a language model. It must be connected to an external model before it can be used. Its customized development after installation also creates new business opportunities.
On domestic second-hand platforms, related customized development services sell for hundreds to thousands of yuan, covering areas such as social operations and stock strategy predictions.
Regarding the profit prospects, SetupClaw founder Michael said that the agency business is expected to generate one million dollars per year. However, this statement lacks the support of order volume and cost data, and is more like an investment promotion for the industry.
