# OpenClaw Cloud — Full Product Documentation

> Your own AI computer, zero setup. Managed OpenClaw experience in the cloud.

## Overview

OpenClaw Cloud (open.claw.cloud) is a consumer-facing SaaS platform that provides fully managed AI workspaces. Users receive a dedicated virtual machine with OpenClaw pre-installed and pre-configured, accessible immediately after Google sign-in.

**Target Users**: Students, creators, researchers, and non-technical users who want powerful AI tools without infrastructure complexity.

**Core Value Proposition**: Traditional AI tools require API keys, server configuration, and technical knowledge. OpenClaw Cloud eliminates all of that — register, verify with Google, and you're chatting with AI within 30 seconds.

## How It Works

1. **Sign Up**: Visit open.claw.cloud and sign in with your Google account
2. **VM Provisioning**: A dedicated 2 vCPU / 2 GB RAM Aliyun ECS instance is automatically provisioned for you
3. **Connect**: The dashboard connects to your VM via a secure WebSocket gateway
4. **Chat**: Your AI assistant is ready — no configuration needed

## Architecture

OpenClaw Cloud uses a multi-tier architecture:
- **Control Plane**: Next.js on Vercel handles authentication, UI, and VM orchestration
- **Resource Manager**: Go service manages Aliyun ECS VM lifecycle (VPC, NAT, security groups, ECS provisioning)
- **Gateway Proxy**: Go WebSocket relay authenticates and routes browser connections to user VMs
- **Consumer VMs**: Each user's isolated ECS instance runs OpenClaw Gateway (the AI runtime)
- **Database**: Supabase PostgreSQL stores user accounts, VM metadata, and billing data

## Security & Isolation

- Each user gets a completely isolated virtual machine
- VM-to-VM network traffic is blocked at the security group level
- All communications are authenticated with per-session tokens
- Google OAuth is the only supported sign-in method
