## OpenClaw Setup
OpenClaw is an **open-source AI agent orchestration platform** that connects to AI provider APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.). The Gateway auto-starts on port 18789, but you need to configure it with your own API keys.
**Setup Options:**
1. **Interactive Wizard** (easiest):
```bash
openclaw onboard
```
Walks you through model selection and API key entry.
2. **Manual Configuration**:
Edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` or use environment variables:
```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="AIza..."
```
3. **Via Gateway UI**:
- Open `http://localhost:18789` in browser
- Navigate to Settings
- Add your API keys for desired providers
**Get API Keys:**
- **Anthropic (Claude)**: https://console.anthropic.com/
- **OpenAI (GPT)**: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
- **Google (Gemini)**: https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey
- **OpenRouter**: https://openrouter.ai/keys
**Note:** OpenClaw itself is free and open-source. You only pay for API usage from your chosen AI providers.
