## What it is
A Cloudflare Workers project that runs the OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot/Clawdbot) self-hosted personal AI assistant on Cloudflare's Sandbox container platform. It is an official proof-of-concept deployment template, not a supported product.

## Use cases
- run a personal AI assistant without dedicated hardware
- self-host OpenClaw on Cloudflare instead of a Mac mini
- control an AI agent through messaging apps from the cloud
- deploy an always-on AI agent with Cloudflare Access authentication
- estimate and manage container costs for a personal AI agent

## When to choose
- you want to run OpenClaw without buying dedicated hardware
- you already use Cloudflare Workers and have a Paid plan
- you want a one-click deployable personal AI agent with Cloudflare Access auth

## When to avoid
- you need officially supported, production-grade agent hosting
- you cannot accept the ~$34.50/month 24/7 container cost
- you want to run on your own hardware or non-Cloudflare infrastructure
- you need stability guarantees - it is a proof of concept that may break
