Run Claude from hardware you own.
ClawBox puts OpenClaw on a dedicated AI box you own, then connects Claude as the premium cloud reasoning provider. Claude stays in Anthropic's cloud; your OpenClaw memory, files, tools, and automations stay on your hardware, with local models available for routine and offline work. The built-in setup UI lets you add your Anthropic API key in one step and start using Claude right away.
Claude OpenClaw Setup: How it Works
Plug in ClawBox
A dedicated NVIDIA Jetson device on your desk, OpenClaw preinstalled. Online in ~5 minutes.
Add Claude as the premium brain
Open the setup UI, paste your Anthropic API key, and make Claude the main cloud AI provider for hard reasoning, writing, and business work. No config files or terminal.
Keep OpenClaw context local
Your agent workspace, memory, files, and history stay on ClawBox's drive while selected prompts go to Claude's cloud API.
OpenClaw Claude: Anthropic's best reasoning, your hardware
If you are comparing the two names directly, read OpenClaw vs Claude. The short version: OpenClaw orchestrates the agent environment locally, and Claude is the premium model it can call for demanding work.
Claude as the premium brain
OpenClaw calls Claude for best-in-class reasoning while your agent memory and working files live on your hardware.
Hybrid model routing
Use Claude Fable 5, Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku for the jobs that deserve Anthropic's best models, and local models for routine or offline work.
Truly offline option
For tasks that must never leave the building, run quantized local models with no internet at all.
Use Claude from your channels
Message from Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or the web while OpenClaw coordinates tools, memory, and Claude reasoning.
One-step Anthropic setup
Use your Anthropic API key directly from the built-in ClawBox setup screen, with clear control over which tasks are routed to Claude.
Premium where it counts
Claude costs more than local inference because it is built for harder reasoning; ClawBox helps reserve it for the work where that quality matters.
OpenClaw on your hardware. Claude for the hard problems.
€549 one-time. Best-in-class local ownership plus Anthropic reasoning when it counts.
FAQ
What is a Claude OpenClaw setup?
A Claude OpenClaw setup means OpenClaw runs as your local agent framework while Claude is connected as a cloud model provider. OpenClaw keeps channels, tools, files, browser automation, and memory in your environment; Claude handles selected reasoning or writing requests through Anthropic's API.
Does Claude actually run on the device?
Claude itself is Anthropic's cloud model, so the model runs via Anthropic's API. What ClawBox does is keep your memory, files, and context local and route only the specific request to Claude — so you get Claude's quality without your history living on a third-party server. For fully on-device inference, ClawBox also runs local open models on its NVIDIA GPU.
Can I run completely offline?
Yes — for offline use, ClawBox runs quantized local models (Llama, Mistral, etc.) on its 67 TOPS GPU with no internet. Use Claude's API only when you want frontier-model quality.
Do I need my own Anthropic API key?
You can connect your Anthropic API key directly. ClawBox has a built-in setup screen where you paste the key and start using Claude with OpenClaw right away — no config files or terminal required.
What hardware is ClawBox?
An NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB with 512GB NVMe SSD and OpenClaw preinstalled — €549, ships worldwide, set up in about five minutes.
