One-Click Managed Hosting for Open-Source AI Assistants
Background
ClawDrift (listed on TrustMRR as "OpenClaw Pro") was founded in February 2026 by UK entrepreneur @lewiscarhart. It is the official cloud hosting service for OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent framework that went viral on GitHub and X. OpenClaw allows users to deploy AI assistants to Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp with persistent memory, proactive actions, and tool-calling capabilities.
