MarginMachines installs, configures, and supercharges your OpenClaw setup in minutes — so you spend less time fighting with config and more time doing real work.
Stop copy-pasting configs from Reddit threads. MarginMachines gives you a production-ready setup with one command.
Run one script and walk away. MarginMachines handles API keys, gateway config, channel plugins, and health checks automatically.
Browse and activate 30+ pre-configured skill packs — scheduling, research, code agents, notifications — without reading a single doc.
Pre-tuned system prompts, memory configurations, and model routing so your agent is actually useful on day one, not day thirty.
See token spend, task throughput, and agent performance in a clean dashboard. Know exactly what your agent is doing and what it's costing.
MarginMachines keeps your OpenClaw install current, applies migrations safely, and rolls back automatically if something breaks.
Encrypted local storage for API keys, webhooks, and OAuth tokens. No more plaintext secrets sitting in config files.
No DevOps degree required. If you can open a terminal, you can have a fully operational AI agent running today.
Run npx margin-machines init and answer four questions. That's it. We pull OpenClaw, configure your gateway, and wire up your first channel.
Choose from the plugin marketplace: code agents, web search, calendar sync, Telegram/Discord bots, and more. Each installs and configures itself.
Open the web UI, WhatsApp, Telegram — wherever you configured. Your agent is live, memory-enabled, and ready to actually help you get things done.

I spent two weekends trying to get OpenClaw running how I wanted. MarginMachines had me fully set up with Telegram + a coding agent in 8 minutes. Not exaggerating.
The credential vault alone is worth it. No more worrying about secrets in config files sitting in my home directory.
I run three separate OpenClaw setups across different projects. MarginMachines manages all of them from one dashboard. Genuinely useful.
Free during beta. No credit card required. Works with any existing OpenClaw install.
