Deploying Your First Openclaw Agent in 60 Seconds

A step-by-step guide to getting your first Openclaw agent live with persistent memory and full tool call tracing — no DevOps required.

Deploying Your First Openclaw Agent in 60 Seconds

Deploying an AI agent used to mean provisioning EC2 instances, configuring Dockerfiles, setting up load balancers, and hoping nothing falls over at 3am. With Divzero and Openclaw, that's gone. Here's how to go from zero to a live, persistent agent in under a minute.

What You'll Need

  • An Openclaw agent config file (openclaw.yaml)
  • A Divzero account (early access)
  • 60 seconds

Step 1: Write Your Agent Config

Openclaw agents are defined in a simple YAML file. Here's a minimal example:

name: customer-support-agent
model: claude-sonnet-4-5
system_prompt: |
  You are a helpful customer support agent for Acme Corp.
  You have access to order history and can process refunds.
tools:
  - search_orders
  - process_refund
  - send_email
memory:
  type: persistent
  ttl: 30d

That's it. No Dockerfile. No Kubernetes manifest. No IAM roles.

Step 2: Connect Your Repo

In your Divzero dashboard, click New Agent and connect your GitHub repository. Divzero detects your openclaw.yaml automatically.

# Or push via CLI (coming soon)
divzero deploy --config openclaw.yaml

Step 3: Watch It Go Live

Divzero builds a container from your config, provisions the runtime, and gives you a live endpoint in under 60 seconds. You'll see the agent appear in your dashboard with:

  • Status: Active
  • Endpoint: https://agents.divzero.one/your-agent
  • Memory: Initialized and ready
  • Traces: Live tool call tracing

What Happens Under the Hood

When you deploy, Divzero:

  1. Validates your openclaw.yaml against the Openclaw schema
  2. Builds a minimal container with the Openclaw runtime
  3. Provisions an EC2 instance from our auto-scaling pool
  4. Mounts a persistent memory store scoped to your agent
  5. Starts the agent and begins capturing traces

All of this happens without you touching a single cloud console.

Persistent Memory Out of the Box

Unlike raw Claude API calls that start fresh every conversation, Openclaw agents on Divzero get persistent memory by default. Your agent remembers:

  • Previous conversations with users
  • Tool call results it decided to cache
  • Any data it explicitly wrote to memory

This is what makes agents actually useful for production — they learn and retain context across sessions.

Full Tool Call Tracing

Every tool invocation your agent makes is logged and visualized in the Divzero dashboard. You can see exactly:

  • Which tools were called, in what order
  • What arguments were passed
  • What the tool returned
  • How long each call took
  • Total cost per run

No more digging through raw CloudWatch logs.

What's Next

Once your agent is live, you can:

  • Set up webhooks to trigger the agent from external events
  • Configure rate limits and cost caps per run
  • Add team members who can view traces without touching config
  • Scale to multiple instances with one slider
