Today we're launching Gensee Crate — a completely free, cloud-hosted OpenClaw service.
If you've wanted to try OpenClaw but didn't want to deal with hardware, configuration, or API bills, this is for you. Sign up, and you'll have a working AI agent in under a minute.
(If you're curious about why we built this, read our story about the $6,000 OpenClaw installation problem.)
What You Get
Gensee Crate includes — all free:
- A fully configured OpenClaw instance — no terminal, no config files, no setup
- Frontier AI models — including Qwen 3.5-397B, served on our own NVIDIA GPUs
- Gensee Search — our AI search engine, ranked #1 on Source Bench
- Built-in browser — your agent can visit websites, fill forms, and do research
- Visual dashboard — manage, pause, snapshot, and rollback your agent with clicks
- WhatsApp & Telegram — chat with your agent from your phone
- File management — upload files for processing, download what your agent creates
- 24/7 cloud access — your agent runs even when your computer is off
See It In Action
Here's what the setup actually looks like. No time-lapse, no editing — this is real speed.
And here's a real task — asking the agent to research LinkedIn profiles. Watch it open a browser, navigate pages, and compile the results:

What Makes This Different
There are nearly 50 OpenClaw hosting services out there (check Clawd Arena for the full list). We looked at all of them before building Gensee Crate. Here's what we found:
Most cloud hosts give you a server. We give you an experience.
A typical OpenClaw cloud host provisions a virtual server with OpenClaw installed. You get SSH access (a text-only remote terminal) and configure everything yourself — AI model keys, messaging channels, skills. Your agent talks to you through text commands, and if it needs to visit a website? It can't — most hosts don't include a browser.
Gensee Crate is different. You get a visual dashboard where you can see and control everything. Your agent has a built-in browser — it can open websites, click through pages, fill out forms, and gather information, and you can watch it happen in real time. It's the closest thing to having OpenClaw on your own laptop, but without the risk or setup.
| Run It Yourself | Other Cloud Hosts | Gensee Crate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Hours to days | Minutes to hours | 60 seconds |
| Monthly cost | $100–300+ (APIs) | $19–199 + your APIs | Free |
| Browser access | ✅ Full | ❌ Most don't | ✅ Built-in |
| Visual controls | ❌ Terminal | ❌ SSH / basic panel | ✅ Dashboard |
| AI models | Bring your own keys | Bring your own keys | Qwen 3.5-397B + more (free) |
| Web search | Bring your own | Bring your own | Gensee Search (#1 Source Bench) |
| File risk | ⚠️ Your real files | ✅ Sandboxed | ✅ Sandboxed + rollback |
Powered by Gensee Search
Every Gensee Crate instance comes with Gensee Search — our AI search engine that's ranked #1 on Source Bench, a benchmark that evaluates the quality of web sources AI systems find.
This matters because most OpenClaw hosts give you an agent that can chat but can't research. Your agent might be smart, but it's blind to the web unless you pay for a separate search API. With Gensee Crate, your agent has world-class research capability built in, at no extra cost.
And the models backing your agent aren't small or stripped-down. We serve Qwen 3.5-397B — a 397-billion-parameter model that competes with GPT-5.2 and Claude on major benchmarks — on our own high-grade NVIDIA GPUs, along with embedding models and other open-source models. You'd need 8× H100 GPUs (roughly $250,000+ of hardware) to run this model yourself. On Gensee Crate, it's free.
What does "browser access" actually mean?
When your agent needs to visit a website — to research something, fill out a form, or gather data — it opens a real browser window inside Gensee Crate. You can watch it navigate in real time. If it needs you to log in somewhere, you can type your credentials directly in the browser window (they're never saved or shared). Think of it as screen-sharing with your AI agent.
How to Get Started
- Go to webapp.gensee.ai and sign up (takes 10 seconds)
- Create a new instance — everything is pre-configured
- Start chatting — in the web interface, or connect WhatsApp/Telegram
That's it. No credit card. No API keys. No hardware.
What's Coming Next
We're building fast based on user feedback. Here's what's on our roadmap:
- More channels: Slack, Discord, iMessage, DingTalk, Feishu
- Cloud storage: Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud integration
- Bring your own models: Already supported — add your API keys in Settings if you want specific models
Our Commitment
Gensee Crate is free during beta. We cover all costs — AI models, Gensee Search, hosting, maintenance.
Why? Because we're building AI agent infrastructure, and the best way to build it right is to put it in as many hands as possible. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
If anything changes about pricing in the future, we'll give you plenty of advance notice. No surprises.
