About Chowder
Chowder provides a unified API for deploying and managing OpenClaw AI agent instances with full infrastructure support. It enables developers to spin up fully isolated agent instances with a single API call, each with its own sandbox, workspace, and gateway. The platform offers an OpenAI-compatible API that serves as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI Responses API.
- Managed Claws - Deploy fully isolated OpenClaw instances with one API call, each receiving its own sandbox, workspace, and gateway for complete separation
- 11 Built-in Channels - Connect agents to Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and more messaging platforms where users already communicate
- Skills Marketplace - Install skills from ClawHub with a single request, adding capabilities like browsing, file access, and code execution to agents
- Built-in Authentication - Organization keys, scoped instance keys with granular permissions, and automatic key rotation without needing auth middleware
- OpenAI-Compatible API - Drop-in replacement for OpenAI Responses API supporting sessions, tools, and structured output in the same format
- Sessions & Memory - Stateful conversations out of the box with message routing to isolated sessions for context retention across conversation turns
To get started, sign up and create an organization to receive an API key. Then create an instance by specifying a name and model provider. Within 60 seconds, you can have a deployed agent ready to receive messages through the API or connected channels. The platform handles all infrastructure concerns including provisioning, scaling, and channel integrations, allowing developers to focus on building agent capabilities rather than managing infrastructure.
