ChatGPT forgets you. OpenClaw doesn't.
OpenClaw is the open-source framework for sovereign AI agents. It runs on your hardware, remembers your business via MEMORY.md, and acts proactively via its heartbeat mechanism. We are the experts who make it work for you.
100% Local, 100% Yours
OpenClaw runs on your Mac Mini, your server, your network. Sensitive data like financials, PII, and trade secrets never touches the cloud. Unlike Copilot or ChatGPT, your agent is sovereign.
MEMORY.md: It Remembers Everything
OpenClaw maintains persistent MEMORY.md files that evolve over time. Your agent learns your preferences, your clients, and your project history. No more re-explaining context every morning.
Heartbeat: It Acts Without Being Asked
OpenClaw's heartbeat mechanism means your agent does not wait for prompts. It wakes up, scans emails, checks server logs, monitors feeds, and initiates action autonomously.
Inside OpenClaw: how it works
OpenClaw is not a chatbot. It is a cognitive architecture with a Brain, Muscles, a Soul, and persistent Memory. We configure every piece for maximum ROI.
The Brain
OpenClaw's orchestration layer. Claude Opus or Sonnet handles high-level reasoning, task decomposition, and persona. The conductor that breaks "Research competitor pricing" into five executable sub-tasks.
The Muscles
OpenClaw's cost-optimized execution layer. DeepSeek for coding, Perplexity for research, local Llama 3 for bulk text. We configure config.json to route 90% of traffic to cheap muscles, saving you thousands.
SOUL.md
The heart of your OpenClaw agent. We craft a custom persona defining personality, ethical boundaries, and communication style. "The Realtor Soul," "The Paralegal Soul," calibrated to your culture.
MEMORY.md
OpenClaw's persistent long-term memory. Your agent remembers client preferences, project states, and relationship history. No more re-explaining your business every morning.
IronClaw Security
The enterprise-grade OpenClaw fork. WASM-sandboxed skill execution, capability-based permissions, and runtime secrets injection. Your agent cannot escape its sandbox.
Mission Control
Our custom dashboard built on the OpenClaw WebSocket API. See your agent's live thought feed, active Kanban tasks, and hit the big red STOP button if it goes rogue.
Pre-built OpenClaw agents for your vertical
We don't sell generic “AI.” We ship industry-specific OpenClaw agents with pre-crafted SOUL.md personas, pre-loaded MEMORY.md files, and battle-tested SKILLS.md libraries.
The Realtor Claw
Soul: “Aggressive, charming, highly responsive”

The Paralegal Claw
Soul: “Formal, discreet, analytical”
The Problem
Paralegals spend immense time summarizing case files and monitoring court dockets.
Our Solution
A local, air-gapped IronClaw agent that summarizes PDFs, extracts key precedents, and monitors court docket APIs. All data stays on your network, all skills WASM-sandboxed.
- HIPAA/privilege-compliant local processing
- Case file summarization via IronClaw
- Court docket monitoring skills
- Zero data leaving your network
The Logistics Claw
Soul: “Precise, efficient, detail-oriented”
The Problem
Invoicing and tracking shipments involves manual data entry from dozens of daily emails.

OpenClaw deployment, answered
Everything you need to know about deploying OpenClaw agents on your infrastructure.
What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source framework for building sovereign AI agents that run locally on your hardware. Unlike cloud-based AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot, OpenClaw agents persist on your machine, maintain long-term memory via MEMORY.md, and act proactively through a heartbeat mechanism. They are configured with a personality (SOUL.md), capabilities (SKILLS.md), and can be orchestrated as multi-agent teams via AGENTS.md.
How does OpenClaw work?
OpenClaw uses a "Brain and Muscles" architecture. The Brain (Claude, GPT-4, or Gemini) handles high-level reasoning and task decomposition. The Muscles (DeepSeek, Llama 3, Perplexity) handle cost-optimized execution like coding, research, and bulk text processing. The Brain delegates sub-tasks to Muscles via config.json routing, keeping costs low while maintaining quality. A heartbeat mechanism wakes the agent periodically to check emails, monitor feeds, and initiate tasks autonomously.
What hardware do I need to run OpenClaw?
A Mac Mini M4 is the recommended starting point for personal and small business OpenClaw deployments. It provides sufficient compute for running a local LLM (Muscles) alongside the orchestration layer. For enterprise deployments, we configure on-premise rack servers or private cloud instances. OpenClaw runs inside a hardened Docker container, so any machine that supports Docker can host an agent.
What is IronClaw?
IronClaw is the security-hardened fork of OpenClaw designed for enterprise deployments. It adds WASM-sandboxed skill execution (so skills cannot escape their sandbox), capability-based permissions (each skill can only access explicitly granted resources), and runtime secrets injection (API keys are never stored in config files). IronClaw is included in our Growth and Enterprise tiers.
Is OpenClaw secure?
OpenClaw is powerful but insecure by default. Its heartbeat mechanism, file system access, and email capabilities create what security researchers call the "Lethal Trifecta": private data access + untrusted content + external communication. Without proper hardening, an OpenClaw agent can be exploited via prompt injection. That is why every Axentia deployment includes IronClaw hardening and a VibeAudit security check from our partners at vibeaudits.com.
What is SOUL.md and why does it matter?
SOUL.md is the configuration file that defines your OpenClaw agent's personality, ethical boundaries, communication style, and core directives. It is the equivalent of a system prompt, but persistent and deeply integrated. A well-crafted SOUL.md is the difference between a generic AI chatbot and a digital employee that understands your brand, your tone, and your business rules. We craft custom SOUL.md personas for every deployment.
How much does an OpenClaw deployment cost?
Our Starter tier (Setup & Soul) is a one-time $2,000 fee for a single agent with custom SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, and basic integrations. The Growth tier (Digital Employee Retainer) is $1,500/month for fully managed agents with Mission Control dashboard, monthly security audits, and evolving skills. Enterprise pricing starts at $10,000/month for multi-agent swarms with air-gapped deployment and dedicated engineering support.
How is OpenClaw different from ChatGPT or Copilot?
ChatGPT and Copilot are cloud-based, session-based tools. They forget you after every conversation, your data is sent to external servers, and they only respond when prompted. OpenClaw agents run locally on your hardware (your data never leaves your network), maintain persistent memory (MEMORY.md), and act proactively via the heartbeat mechanism. They are digital employees, not chat assistants.
