Your always-on AI assistant — free, no server needed. HuggingClaw runs OpenClaw on HuggingFace Spaces, giving you a 24/7 AI chat assistant on Telegram and WhatsApp. It works with any large language model (LLM) – Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. – and even supports custom models via OpenRouter. Deploy in minutes on the free HF Spaces tier (2 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 50GB) with automatic workspace backup to a HuggingFace Dataset so your chat history and settings persist across restarts.

✨ Features

🔌 Any LLM: Use Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, and 40+ providers (set LLM_API_KEY and LLM_MODEL accordingly).
⚡ Zero Config: Duplicate this Space and set just three secrets (LLM_API_KEY, LLM_MODEL, GATEWAY_TOKEN) – no other setup needed.
🐳 Fast Builds: Uses a pre-built OpenClaw Docker image to deploy in minutes.
🌐 Cloudflare Outbound Proxy: HuggingClaw can automatically provision a Cloudflare Worker proxy for blocked outbound traffic such as Telegram API requests.
💾 Workspace Backup: Chats, settings, and WhatsApp session state sync to a private HF Dataset via the huggingface_hub, preserving data automatically without storing your HF token in a git remote.
⏰ Easy Keep-Alive: Uses CLOUDFLARE_WORKERS_TOKEN to automatically set up a cron-triggered keep-awake worker at boot.
👥 Multi-User Messaging: Support for Telegram (multi-user) and WhatsApp (pairing).
📊 Visual Dashboard: Beautiful Web UI to monitor uptime, sync status, and active models.
🔔 Webhooks: Get notified on restarts or backup failures via standard webhooks.
🔐 Flexible Auth: Secure the Control UI with either a gateway token or password.
🏠 100% HF-Native: Runs entirely on HuggingFace’s free infrastructure (2 vCPU, 16GB RAM).

🎥 Video Tutorial

Watch a quick walkthrough on YouTube: Deploying HuggingClaw on HF Spaces.

🚀 Quick Start

Step 1: Duplicate this Space

Click the button above to duplicate the template.

Step 2: Add Your Secrets

Navigate to your new Space's Settings, scroll down to the Variables and secrets section, and add the following three under Secrets:

LLM_API_KEY – Your provider API key (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter).
LLM_MODEL – The model ID string you wish to use (e.g., openai/gpt-4o or google/gemini-2.5-flash).
GATEWAY_TOKEN – A custom password or token to secure your Control UI. (You can use any strong password, or generate one with openssl rand -hex 32 if you prefer).

HuggingClaw is completely flexible! You only need these three secrets to get started. You can set other secrets later.

Optional: if you want to pin a specific OpenClaw release instead of latest, add OPENCLAW_VERSION under Variables in your Space settings. For Docker Spaces, HF passes Variables as build args during image build, so this should be a Variable, not a Secret.

Step 3: Deploy & Run

That's it! The Space will build the container and start up automatically. You can monitor the build process in the Logs tab.

Step 4: Monitor & Manage

HuggingClaw features a built-in dashboard to track:

Uptime: Real-time uptime monitoring.
Sync Status: Visual indicators for workspace backup operations.
Chat Status: Real-time connection status for WhatsApp and Telegram.
Model Info: See which LLM is currently powering your assistant.

📱 Telegram Setup (Optional)

To chat via Telegram:

Create a bot via @BotFather: send /newbot, follow prompts, and copy the bot token.
Find your Telegram user ID with @userinfobot.
Add CLOUDFLARE_WORKERS_TOKEN in Space secrets to let HuggingClaw auto-provision the outbound proxy, or set CLOUDFLARE_PROXY_URL manually if you already have a Worker.
Add these secrets in Settings → Secrets. After restarting, the bot should appear online on Telegram.

Variable	Default	Description
`TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`	—	Telegram bot token from BotFather
`TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS`	—	Comma-separated Telegram user IDs for access

🌐 Cloudflare Proxy Setup

Hugging Face Free Tier often restricts outbound connections to services like Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp. HuggingClaw solves this with a Transparent Outbound Proxy via Cloudflare Workers.

⚡ Automatic Setup (Recommended)

This is the easiest way. HuggingClaw will handle the deployment for you.

Create a Cloudflare API Token:
- Go to API Tokens.
- Create Token -> Edit Cloudflare Workers template.
- Ensure it has Account: Workers Scripts: Edit permissions.
Add the token as a secret named CLOUDFLARE_WORKERS_TOKEN in your Space Settings.

What happens next?

HuggingClaw automatically creates a Worker named after your Space host.
It generates a secure, private CLOUDFLARE_PROXY_SECRET.
All restricted outbound traffic is automatically routed through this Worker.

💬 WhatsApp Setup (Optional)

To use WhatsApp, enable the channel and scan the QR code from the Control UI (Channels → WhatsApp → Login):

Variable	Default	Description
`WHATSAPP_ENABLED`	`false`	Enable WhatsApp pairing support

💾 Workspace Backup (Optional)

HuggingClaw automatically syncs your workspace (chats, settings, sessions) to a private HF Dataset named huggingclaw-backup.

Persistence: Survived restarts and restores your state on boot.
WhatsApp: Stores session credentials so you don't have to scan the QR code every time.
Interval: Syncs every 3 minutes by default.

Variable	Default	Description
`HF_TOKEN`	—	HF token with Write access
`SYNC_INTERVAL`	`180`	Backup frequency in seconds

💓 Staying Alive (Recommended on Free HF Spaces)

Your Space will automatically be kept awake by a background Cloudflare Worker when you configure the CLOUDFLARE_WORKERS_TOKEN secret. The worker uses a cron trigger to regularly ping your Space's /health endpoint. The dashboard displays the current keep-alive worker status.

🔔 Webhooks (Optional)

Get notified when your Space restarts or if a backup fails:

Variable	Default	Description
`WEBHOOK_URL`	—	Endpoint URL for POST JSON notifications

🔐 Security & Advanced (Optional)

Configure password access and network restrictions:

Variable	Default	Description
`OPENCLAW_PASSWORD`	—	Enable simple password auth instead of token
`TRUSTED_PROXIES`	—	Comma-separated IPs of HF proxies
`ALLOWED_ORIGINS`	—	Comma-separated allowed origins for Control UI
`CLOUDFLARE_KEEPALIVE_ENABLED`	`true`	Set to `false` to disable the automatic Cloudflare KeepAlive worker

🤖 LLM Providers

HuggingClaw supports all providers from OpenClaw. Set LLM_MODEL=<provider/model> and the provider is auto-detected.

Click to see supported providers and examples

Provider	Prefix	Example Model
Anthropic	`anthropic/`	`anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-latest`
OpenAI	`openai/`	`openai/gpt-4o`
Google	`google/`	`google/gemini-2.0-flash`
DeepSeek	`deepseek/`	`deepseek/deepseek-chat`
xAI (Grok)	`xai/`	`xai/grok-2-latest`
Mistral	`mistral/`	`mistral/mistral-large-latest`
HuggingFace	`huggingface/`	`huggingface/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1`
OpenRouter	`openrouter/`	`openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet`

And many more: Cohere, Groq, NVIDIA, Mistral, Moonshot, etc.

Any Other Provider

You can also use any custom provider:

LLM_API_KEY=your_api_key
LLM_MODEL=provider/model-name

The provider prefix in LLM_MODEL tells HuggingClaw how to call it. See OpenClaw Model Providers for the full list.

Custom OpenAI-Compatible Provider

Variable	Description	Default
`CUSTOM_PROVIDER_NAME`	Unique provider prefix (e.g., `modal`)	Required
`CUSTOM_BASE_URL`	API base URL (e.g., `https://.../v1`)	Required
`CUSTOM_MODEL_ID`	Model ID on the server	Required
`LLM_MODEL`	Must match `{CUSTOM_PROVIDER_NAME}/{CUSTOM_MODEL_ID}`	Required
`CUSTOM_API_KEY`	Provider-specific key	`LLM_API_KEY`
`CUSTOM_CONTEXT_WINDOW`	Context limit	`128000`

CUSTOM_PROVIDER_NAME cannot override built-in providers (openai, anthropic, etc.).

Example (Modal):

CUSTOM_PROVIDER_NAME=modal
CUSTOM_BASE_URL=https://api.us-west-2.modal.direct/v1
CUSTOM_MODEL_ID=zai-org/GLM-5.1-FP8
LLM_MODEL=modal/zai-org/GLM-5.1-FP8

💻 Local Development

git clone https://github.com/somratpro/huggingclaw.git
cd huggingclaw
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your secret values

With Docker:

docker build --build-arg OPENCLAW_VERSION=latest -t huggingclaw .
docker run -p 7861:7861 --env-file .env huggingclaw

Without Docker:

npm install -g openclaw@latest
export $(cat .env | xargs)
bash start.sh

🔗 CLI Access

After deploying, you can connect via the OpenClaw CLI (e.g., to onboard channels or run agents):

npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw channels login --gateway https://YOUR_SPACE_NAME.hf.space
# When prompted, enter your GATEWAY_TOKEN

🏗️ Architecture

HuggingClaw uses a multi-layered approach to ensure stability and persistence on Hugging Face's ephemeral infrastructure.

Click to view technical details

Dashboard (/): Management, monitoring, and keep-alive tools.
Control UI (/gateway): Secure interface for managing agents and channels.
Health Check (/health): Endpoint for uptime monitoring and readiness probes.
Sync Engine: Python background process managing HF Dataset persistence.
Transparent Proxy: Interceptor for requests to blocked domains (Telegram, etc.).

Startup sequence:

Validate required secrets and check HF token.
Resolve backup namespace and restore workspace from HF Dataset.
Generate openclaw.json configuration.
Launch background tasks (auto-sync, channel helpers).
Start OpenClaw gateway and listen for connections.

🐛 Troubleshooting

Missing secrets: Ensure LLM_API_KEY, LLM_MODEL, and GATEWAY_TOKEN are set in your Space Settings → Secrets.
Telegram bot issues: Verify your TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN. Check Space logs for lines like 📱 Enabling Telegram.
Backup restore failing: Make sure HF_TOKEN is valid and has write access to your HF account dataset. Set HF_USERNAME only if auto-detection is not available in your environment.
Space keeps sleeping: Add CLOUDFLARE_WORKERS_TOKEN as a Space secret to enable automatic keep-awake monitoring via Cloudflare Workers.
Auth errors / proxy: If you see reverse-proxy auth errors, add the logged IPs under TRUSTED_PROXIES (from logs remote=x.x.x.x).
Control UI says too many failed authentication attempts: Wait for the retry window to expire, then open the Space in an incognito window or clear site storage for your Space before logging in again with GATEWAY_TOKEN.
WhatsApp lost its session after restart: Make sure HF_TOKEN is configured so the hidden session backup can be restored on boot.
UI blocked (CORS): Set ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://your-space-name.hf.space.
Version mismatches: Pin a specific OpenClaw build with the OPENCLAW_VERSION Variable in HF Spaces, or --build-arg OPENCLAW_VERSION=... locally.
