Why run OpenClaw on an Orgo computer
The agent and its skills live on the cloud computer. Other devices connect to it.
Isolation
OpenClaw is designed to take actions on a computer: install skills, run shell commands, control applications, hit APIs with your credentials. On a personal laptop that means the agent has the same access you do, including your home directory, browser sessions, SSH keys, and~/.aws/credentials. On an Orgo computer the blast radius is the VM. The agent has access to whatever you install or paste into that VM and nothing else. Delete the computer and the state is gone.
Install
1
Create the computer
Open orgo.ai/workspaces and create a computer with at least 8 GB RAM and 4 CPU cores.
2
Open a terminal on the computer
Open the computer in the dashboard and launch Terminal from the taskbar.
3
Run the installer
openclaw CLI, and starts the onboarding wizard. The wizard configures a model provider, API key, and gateway port (default 18789).4
Install the background daemon
systemd --user service that auto-starts the gateway on every boot.5
Verify
http://127.0.0.1:18789/ in the computer’s browser for the OpenClaw dashboard.Install via the Orgo SDK
Drive the install from your laptop. Everycomputer.bash(...) call runs on the cloud computer.
~/.openclaw/ on disk, so the daemon survives reboots and stop/start cycles.
Gateway
The gateway accepts messages from Slack, Discord, Telegram, iMessage, and other platforms. Set it up once on the computer:https://www.orgo.ai/api/desktops/{instance_id}/proxy/<path> (requires your Orgo API key).
Installing skills
OpenClaw skills are distributed through ClawHub:~/.openclaw/skills/ and persist across restarts.
