What Happens at Each Step

1
Days 1-3

Discovery

Before we write a single line of config, we understand exactly what you're building and why.

This isn't a generic questionnaire. It's a working session where we map your current workflows, identify automation opportunities, and define what "success" looks like for your system.

What We Cover

  • Your daily/weekly workflows and pain points
  • Tools you already use (calendar, email, CRM, etc.)
  • What tasks drain your time and energy
  • Your technical comfort level and constraints
  • Budget for ongoing API costs
  • Success metrics — how we'll know it's working

Days 4-10

Build

Your custom system takes shape. Every skill, every cron job, every model selection — built for your specific needs.

This is where the magic happens. I build your system on my hardware first, testing every integration, optimizing every model call, and ensuring everything works together seamlessly.

What Gets Built

  • Core OpenClaw configuration optimized for your hardware
  • Custom SOUL.md and MEMORY.md personalized to you
  • Messaging integration (Telegram/WhatsApp/Discord)
  • Skill deployment based on your priority workflows
  • Model routing strategy for cost optimization
  • Cron schedule aligned with your daily rhythm
  • Cost controls and monitoring alerts

Days 11-14

Deploy

We go live together. Live walkthrough, hands-on testing, and full documentation so you're never lost.

This isn't a "here's your files, good luck" handoff. We do a live session where I walk you through every component, test key workflows together, and make sure you're confident operating the system.

Deploy Day Includes

  • 45-minute live walkthrough session
  • System migration to your hardware
  • Live testing of core workflows
  • Documentation delivery (SOUL, MEMORY, config guide)
  • Emergency procedures and troubleshooting guide
  • API key setup and security hardening
  • Q&A — ask anything, no time limit

Support

Real support from the person who built your system. Not a ticket queue. Not a chatbot. Direct access.

Things will break. Questions will come up. You'll want to add new capabilities. Support means I'm there for all of it — async for quick questions, scheduled calls for complex issues.

Support Includes

  • Async Q&A via Telegram/email
  • Troubleshooting when things break
  • Guidance on adding new skills
  • Cost optimization reviews
  • Security best practices
  • Monthly check-ins (Enterprise tier)

Addressing Concerns

Common Questions Answered

🔒 Is it safe?

Your system runs on your hardware. Your data never leaves your control. We implement security best practices from day one — encrypted backups, secure API key management, and prompt injection protection.

⚠️ What if it breaks?

Every build includes a 30-day warranty. If something breaks, we fix it. You also get our Anti-Pattern Guide — a document of every crash we've encountered and exactly how to resolve it.

🤔 Do I need to be technical?

Basic comfort with Terminal helps, but you don't need to be a developer. We design the system around your technical level and provide clear documentation for everything you need to operate.

⏱️ How long until it's running?

Most Pro builds are production-ready in 10-14 days. Starter packages can be deployed same-day. Enterprise builds take 4-6 weeks due to custom workflow complexity.
