This beginner-friendly guide shows how to set up OpenClaw, an autonomous AI agent that works 24/7 without constant prompts.

Learn the simple architecture behind AI agents, decide whether to run locally or in the cloud, and connect OpenClaw to Telegram so you can control it like a real assistant.

The tutorial also reveals how to reduce API costs to nearly zero using 9Router, which automatically routes tasks between free and paid models.

By the end, you’ll have a fully working AI agent that can monitor information, automate repetitive work, and save hours each week — even if you have zero coding experience.
