Hey PH.. recently I've been seeing a lot of startups building on OpenClaw
When I tried playing around with it it seemed like setting one up on a cloud is a lot harder than it should be.. so I built Chowder
Chowder is a single API for you to launch and configure claw instances.. for yourself, your team or your users
It gives you all the claw functionality through a streamlined api so you can focus on building the rest of your infrastructure

Enjoy the chowder.. GO RED SOX
