Which OpenAI models can I use?

GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, GPT-4-turbo, and GPT-3.5-turbo for completions. text-embedding-3-small and text-embedding-3-large for embeddings. New models are added as they become available.

How do I keep costs under control?

Use gpt-4o-mini for simple classification and extraction tasks — it's much cheaper and fast enough. Reserve gpt-4o for complex reasoning. Set max_tokens limits on each step. OpenClaw logs token usage per workflow run.

Can I use this without an OpenAI account?

OpenClaw is model-agnostic, so you can use Anthropic, Gemini, or any other provider instead. If you already have OpenAI credits, this is the easiest starting point.

Is my data sent to OpenAI?

Yes — the text you pass to the GPT step is sent to OpenAI's API. OpenAI's default data policy applies. If you're working with sensitive data, review OpenAI's enterprise privacy options or use a self-hosted model instead.

What OpenClaw does with OpenAI

5 automation capabilities

Add AI reasoning to any workflow step

Drop an OpenAI GPT call into any workflow — classify an inbound message, summarize a document, score a lead, or generate a reply. The output flows into the next step automatically.

Extract structured data from unstructured text

Paste a raw email, form fill, or support ticket into a GPT step and get back clean JSON — names, dates, intent, action items. No regex, no parsing logic.

Build AI-powered support and triage flows

Route inbound messages based on GPT-classified intent. High urgency goes to Slack. Billing questions get an auto-reply. Simple requests get resolved without a human touching them.

Generate content from workflow data

Feed structured data into a GPT prompt and get back a polished email draft, Slack message, or report summary. OpenClaw sends it or posts it — you just review before it goes out.

Score and qualify leads with AI

Pass lead data to GPT with your scoring criteria. Get back a score and reasoning for every new contact. Hot leads go to sales immediately. Cold ones go to nurture.

How simple is it?

Just tell OpenClaw what you need

You message OpenClaw:

“Read the last 10 support emails in my inbox, use GPT to classify each one by urgency and topic, and post a summary table to #support in Slack”

No workflow builder. No API docs. No configuration UI. Just plain English.
