Honest comparison

Two AU options exist.
Different tools for different jobs.

Clawd.au is built for organisations that need air-gapped local GPU inference — no external API calls, ever. We're built for developers who want SSH access, frontier AI bundled, and the freedom to choose their model. Both are legitimate. Pick the one that matches your actual use case.

What you get

Built for developers
who actually build things.

Every feature the other AU option deliberately removed — yours by default.

01
Full SSH & terminal access
Your server. Your filesystem. Write custom skills, install packages, configure nginx, run cron jobs. Not a managed black box — a real VPS you SSH into at any time.
02
Free frontier AI, no token counting
GPT-5.3 and Kimi K2.5 bundled at no extra cost. Bring Claude, Gemini, or local Ollama if you want. No separate API bills, no usage anxiety.
03
Sydney-region, low latency
Runs on Sydney. Telegram and WhatsApp interactions are fast. Data stays in Australia. No US-east cold-start delays at midnight.
04
AU skill pack library
Community-built integrations for ATO tax reminders, Commonwealth Bank parsing, Gmail triage, Slack digests — Australian workflows, not just US-centric templates.
05
WhatsApp, Telegram & Slack
Talk to your agent wherever you already are. WhatsApp for personal automation, Telegram for control, Slack for teams. All active simultaneously.
06
PM2-managed, always on
Auto-restart on crash, 24/7 uptime monitoring. You stop thinking about infrastructure and start using your agent.
Setup guide

From zero to running agent
in under 10 minutes.

Security-first walkthrough. Every step follows AU infrastructure best practice. No assumptions, no skipped steps.

01
Sign up & deploy
Create your NemoClam account and select a plan from A$49.99/mo. Payment via Stripe in AUD. Your VPS is provisioned automatically within 90 seconds of payment — no waiting on support tickets.
# What happens automatically after signup: ✓ Sydney VPS provisioned (vc2-2c-4gb, AU-SYD) ✓ Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed ✓ UFW firewall enabled (SSH + health only) ✓ Fail2ban active (brute-force protection) ✓ OpenClaw + PM2 installed ✓ Cloudflare SSL proxy configured ✓ Welcome email with IP + temp password sent
firewall + fail2ban active by default — no action needed
02
SSH in and lock down access
Your welcome email has your instance IP and a temporary root password. First login: add your SSH public key, then disable password authentication permanently. This takes 2 minutes and is the single most important security step.
# First login — temp password only ssh root@YOUR_INSTANCE_IP # Add your SSH public key mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh echo "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys # Disable password auth — SSH key only from here on sed -i 's/PasswordAuthentication yes/PasswordAuthentication no/' \ /etc/ssh/sshd_config systemctl restart sshd # Reconnect to confirm key auth works before closing session ssh -i ~/.ssh/your_key root@YOUR_INSTANCE_IP
⚠ Do not close your first session until you confirm key-based login works in a second terminal. Password auth will be disabled permanently.
03
Harden the instance
5 minutes of hardening that eliminates the most common attack vectors. Run these commands in order — all are safe on a fresh NemoClam instance.
# Update all packages apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y # Enable automatic security updates going forward apt-get install -y unattended-upgrades dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades # Verify UFW rules (already configured — confirm only) ufw status verbose 22/tcp ALLOW (SSH) 9999/tcp ALLOW (health check) # Lock health endpoint to localhost only ufw delete allow 9999/tcp ufw allow from 127.0.0.1 to any port 9999 # Confirm fail2ban is watching SSH fail2ban-client status sshd Status: active — Currently banned: 0
auto security updates + locked health endpoint
04
Configure your agent
Your openclaw.json is pre-populated. Edit it to add your Telegram bot token. Get a token by messaging @BotFather on Telegram → /newbot → follow prompts → copy the token.
# Edit the config nano /opt/openclaw/openclaw.json # Key fields to update: { "label": "your-unique-agent-name", "llm": { "model": "gpt-5-3", // bundled free — leave as-is "apiKey": "LEAVE_BLANK" // NemoClam provides this }, "channels": { "telegram": { "enabled": true, "token": "YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN" } } }
API keys stored locally — never leave your instance
05
Start your agent with PM2
PM2 keeps your agent running permanently, restarts it on crash, and survives reboots. One command and your agent is live.
# Start cd /opt/openclaw && pm2 start ecosystem.config.js pm2 save # Confirm it's online pm2 status ● openclaw online 0 restarts uptime: 0m # Watch live logs pm2 logs openclaw --lines 30 # Health check curl http://localhost:9999/health {"status":"ok","agent":"online"}
PM2 auto-restarts on crash — no manual intervention
06
Set up daily encrypted backups
Your agent's memory, skills, and config are worth protecting. This script backs them up daily to AU-region object storage in Sydney — encrypted, automated, 2-minute setup.
# Install S3-compatible client apt-get install -y s3cmd s3cmd --configure # enter AU-region object storage keys when prompted # Create backup script cat > /opt/nemoclam-backup.sh << 'EOF' #!/bin/bash DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d) tar -czf /tmp/oc-backup-$DATE.tar.gz \ /opt/openclaw/memory /opt/openclaw/openclaw.json \ /opt/openclaw/skills s3cmd put /tmp/oc-backup-$DATE.tar.gz \ s3://your-bucket/backups/oc-backup-$DATE.tar.gz rm /tmp/oc-backup-$DATE.tar.gz EOF chmod +x /opt/nemoclam-backup.sh # Schedule daily at 3am Sydney time (17:00 UTC) (crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "0 17 * * * /opt/nemoclam-backup.sh") | crontab -
daily encrypted backups to AU-region object storage
07
Install your first AU skill & test
Your agent ships with AU-specific skills pre-installed. Restart PM2 to load them, then test on Telegram. Each message to your bot is a direct command to your agent running in Sydney.
# Restart to load all skills pm2 restart openclaw ✓ openclaw restarted — 6 skills loaded # Test on Telegram — message your bot: "what time is it in Sydney?" → It's 9:42 AM AEST, Saturday 11 Apr 2026 "remind me to check my CommBank balance at 6pm" → Reminder set for 18:00 AEST "summarise my Gmail inbox" → Connects Gmail via OAuth, returns daily summary # Join Discord for AU skill packs + community support discord.gg/nemoclam-au

Origin

Born in Melbourne.
Built out of frustration.

We wanted to run OpenClaw in Australia. Not in Virginia, not in Frankfurt — in Australia, close to our users, with our data staying here.

The options were: self-host on a cheap VPS and spend a weekend configuring Node, PM2, Cloudflare tunnels and hoping it stays up. Or pay for a managed service that doesn't give you SSH access, charges enterprise prices, and routes your prompts through servers you've never seen.

So we built what we wish existed. A managed OpenClaw host, in Sydney, at a fair price, that treats you like a developer — not a compliance checkbox.

Melbourne, AU
“We got tired of paying for infrastructure we couldn’t control. NemoClam is what we built for ourselves first.”
