# Operator

> Operator is a managed platform for deploying and managing autonomous OpenClaw AI agents on Telegram from a single dashboard. Built by Operator Research, Inc. and backed by Y Combinator.

Unlike other agent hosting services that just give you a deploy button, Operator lets you manage and orchestrate your entire fleet through natural language. Chat to create instances, modify their configuration, connect channels, and monitor usage.

Key features:

- Natural language fleet management: create, configure, and orchestrate agents by chatting
- Deploy up to 20+ OpenClaw agent instances from one dashboard
- Connect agents to Telegram channels
- Built-in AI inference and web search (no separate API keys needed)
- All configuration encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM)
- 7-day free trial, cancel anytime

- **Operator Basic** ($10/mo): 1 agent instance, 1x AI usage
- **Operator Pro** ($50/mo): 3 agent instances, 5x AI usage, priority support
- **Operator Max** ($175/mo): 10 agent instances, 20x AI usage, priority support
