OpenClaw Basics
What OpenClaw does, real use cases (trend research, SEO automation, social posts, email marketing, coding, article writing), and why it matters for your business.
VPS vs Local Setup
Which option is right for you. VPS recommendations (Hostinger KVM2/KVM4), Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Docker Manager install, and always-on operation.
Full Installation Walkthrough
Step-by-step Hostinger setup, Docker configuration, Anthropic API key, gateway token, and troubleshooting with openclaw doctor.
Discord Over Telegram
Why Discord is 10x more powerful than Telegram for OpenClaw. Creating a Discord app/bot, permissions, server/user IDs, and secure token passing.
The NorthStar Framework
The custom framework built for this course. Identity, user, soul, and memory files that make OpenClaw truly yours and aligned with your business.
Skills Installation
QMD for cheaper token usage, self-improving agent, humanizer operator skill, and memory management. Build a cost-effective knowledge base.
Multi-Agent / Dedicated Agents
Create persistent channel-bound agents (like Mrs. Researcher on Sonnet 4.5). Separate context windows, parallel workflows, and team coordination.
Cost Optimization
OpenRouter setup with one API key for multiple models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus, Gemini Flash, Kimi K2.5, GPT-5 Nano/Mini). Change models per agent or channel.
Security
What to never give OpenClaw access to (Gmail, wallets, crypto). Hostinger firewall setup, anti-injection skills, and safe operation practices.
Your First Automated Workflow
