A custom dashboard

Operator wraps OpenClaw in a dashboard we built ourselves, so connecting an app is a click and changing how the agent behaves is a form you fill in. KiloClaw runs the same OpenClaw through the Kilo CLI, gateway, and recipes, which expect you to work like a developer. You do not need to be one to run Operator.

A full week, not a day

Operator gives you a full week to connect your apps, set up a real workflow, and watch it run across a few days before you commit. KiloClaw's standard plan gives you one day.

The apps you already use

Connect Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub, your CRM, and far past a fixed list through guided OAuth. KiloClaw ships about thirty pre-built integrations. When the app you need sits outside that set, Operator can still reach it.

Security built in

Every agent runs isolated, and your config and API keys are encrypted with AES-256. We keep a hardening program that tracks OpenClaw as it changes, so the safe defaults stay safe without you configuring anything.

Operator vs KiloClaw, answered

Operator is a personal agent that plugs into the apps you already use and answers on Telegram and Discord, with AI usage in the price and a full week to try it. KiloClaw is built for developers already inside the Kilo ecosystem, so part of the $55 a month pays for their gateway, CLI, and recipes. If you just want an agent that runs your day across your own apps, Operator does it for less and with no per-token bill to watch.

Yes, in minutes. Both run the same open source OpenClaw, so nothing about how you work is locked to Kilo. Sign in, connect your apps through guided OAuth, and your agent is live. There is no config to port and no server to tear down.

Yes, kept current with every release. The difference is the wrapper around it. Operator wraps OpenClaw in a custom dashboard a non-developer can run, points it at a personal agent you reach from Telegram and Discord, and includes the model in the plan. KiloClaw exposes the same OpenClaw through the Kilo CLI and gateway and meters the model per token.

Operator starts at $20/mo with AI usage included. KiloClaw's standard plan is $55/mo and then meters AI tokens on top, so the bill climbs with use. For an agent you lean on every day, Operator stays predictable and lands well under what KiloClaw runs.
