Turn any VPS into a 24/7 AI assistant with OpenClaw. In this step-by-step guide, you’ll install OpenClaw on Ubuntu 24.04, configure the latest version via a one-line script, plug in your OpenAI API key, and hook it to WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord—all without buying a Mac Mini or any dedicated hardware. I’m using Hostinger VPS (KVM2) to keep it ultra-affordable, and you can lock in a low rate with their long-term plan and coupon. You’ll see the full terminal flow, quick vs manual setup, enabling session memory hooks, linking WhatsApp with a QR, and what to do when web search needs a Brave API key. If you want a simpler route, Hostinger even offers an OpenClaw-ready VPS, but this method works on any provider. What messaging channel will you connect first—WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord? Drop your pick and why.

Pro tip: Choose quick start first to get running in minutes, then revisit manual config for fine-tuned channels, hooks, and model settings once it’s live.
Common mistake to avoid: Skipping API key setup and then assuming web search “just works.” Configure OpenAI and Brave (or your preferred search) keys during onboarding to avoid confusing “can’t fetch” errors mid-chat.
Original insight: If you plan to chat on mobile a lot, set up your messaging channel (e.g., WhatsApp) before you pick your model—lighter models like GPT-5 Nano-style options can make responses feel instant on mobile, boosting perceived speed and retention.
