About alphaclaw
chrysb/alphaclaw
The ultimate setup harness for OpenClaw. Deploy in minutes. Stay running for months. No CLI required.
Provides browser-based observability, crash recovery, and multi-agent management through a unified dashboard that eliminates SSH access while maintaining Git-backed auditability. Integrates OpenClaw with Telegram/Discord/Slack channels, Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets), and Google Pub/Sub, with automatic hourly commits and prompt-injection-based agent discipline. The watchdog daemon detects crashes, auto-repairs via `openclaw doctor --fix`, and sends notifications across multiple channels—all manageable from a single UI without config files.
