Quick intro, since we're new. This community is run by the team building Plow — the 1-click way to run OpenClaw. Here we've got Sam Odio, ex-Dropbox; Patrick Lucas, ex-Zynga; and Jonathan Deutsch, ex-Apple. We also host a podcast: AI Worth Using (launching soon!), where OpenClaw's actual creator, Peter Steinberger, comes on to show his setup. Translation: when you get stuck, you're getting help from the people who made the thing. And we don't do it behind closed doors — we build Plow in public, every day. You can watch the work happen on our live stream, and the fastest way to reach us is our Discord, so come say hi. Ask us anything.

If you're reading this, you're one of the first people here. This community just opened. Being early means a few things: the founders are actually in the feed, your questions get answered by the people who built Plow, and the skills we create together become the library everyone else inherits. You're not joining a finished thing, you're helping shape it. Say 👋 below and tell us the one thing you want your agents to handle. Let's build this out together!

Welcome. You're here to put OpenClaw to work on your own machine. Two steps. Step 1: Join the Discord The building happens live; the conversation happens in Discord. It's where you'll get real-time help, see what others are shipping, and catch our live installs. Join here → https://discord.gg/wGa2yVBaa Step 2: Get OpenClaw running OpenClaw is powerful. Getting it running is the part that stops most people. Pick the path that fits you: 🛠️ Option 1 — Do It Yourself The DIY path is real, and if you live in the terminal, go for it — clone the repo, wire up your keys, babysit Docker. Just know that most people hit a wall somewhere around API key #9. That's not a skill issue. It's a packaging problem — which is exactly why we built Option 2. 🏄‍♂️ Option 2 — Download Plow (the 1-click way) Plow is OpenClaw, packaged for humans. Drag to install — no Docker, no config files, no lost weekend. It runs locally on your Mac, so nothing touches the cloud. Every skill is sandboxed and leashed to a policy you set, so it can't see your files, mail, or calendar until you hand it a key — and every action lands in an audit log. Your phone number sets up automatically as your account, so the moment it's installed you can text your Mac from iMessage and it just works.

A team member walks you through the Plow install, then configures your agent around your actual workflows — your inbox, your calendar, the busywork you want gone. You hang up with a running agent that's already personalized to you. Grab a time → https://calendar.app.google/AiovU9AWR35R3KRq9
