Deploy OpenClaw NowIf your AI assistant isn’t responding, first check if the gateway is running correctly. Ensure you’ve pasted the correct authentication token into the dashboard settings and verify that your bot is connected to the appropriate channel (Telegram/Discord). It can also help to check for any active firewalls that might be blocking connections on the designated port (usually 18789).
To ensure your assistant operates continuously, deploy it on a VPS like DigitalOcean or use Docker for containerization. Both methods allow you to maintain persistent connections and avoid crashes. If using a VPS, consider scheduling cron jobs to keep the services awake and monitor logs regularly to catch any potential issues early.
To manage API costs effectively, set memory retention limits and implement rate limits in your agent.json configuration. Using the quick-start mode can help minimize costs during the initial testing phases. Additionally, regularly monitor your API usage through the OpenClaw dashboard to keep track of any unexpected spikes.
For OAuth errors with Google, first verify that your redirect URIs and scopes in the Google Cloud Console match your application settings. If the problem persists, recreate your OAuth credentials as a Desktop app and ensure you have the correct test users added. This can often resolve common authentication issues.
Logs for your AI assistant are typically located in /tmp/openclaw/. If you cannot find them, ensure that your assistant is running in verbose mode to capture detailed logs. If you still face issues, consider checking permissions on the directory to ensure that your user account has access to read the logs.
