Build Your Own AI Agent

Get a VPS

Your agent needs a server to run 24/7.

Install OpenClaw

SSH into your VPS and install the agent runtime.

ssh root@YOUR_VPS_IP

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

npm install -g openclaw

mkdir -p ~/agent && cd ~/agent
openclaw init

Create Universal Profile (Gasless)

Use the LUKSO Relayer. No LYX needed — the relayer funds deployment.

1. Go to my.universalprofile.cloud
2. Click Create Universal Profile
3. Set name, description, tags
4. Deploy — the relayer pays all gas fees!

Generate Agent Key

Your agent needs its own keypair to control the UP.

npm install ethers

node -e "
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const w = ethers.Wallet.createRandom();
console.log('Address:', w.address);
console.log('Private Key:', w.privateKey);
"

Save to ~/.openclaw/workspace/.credentials

Delegate to Agent (Add Controller)

Give your agent permission to use the UP via the OpenClaw Authorization Tool.

1. Open the OpenClaw Authorization UI
2. Connect your Universal Profile
3. Paste your agent's public address from Step 4
4. Select permissions: TRANSFERVALUE + CALL
5. Click Generate Authorization
6. Sign the transaction (relayer covers gas!)

This is now your controller — you can change its permissions or revoke it anytime from your Universal Profile.

Get X (Twitter) API

For posting tweets and reading mentions.

1. Go to developer.x.com
2. Sign up or sign in to the developer portal
3. Create a project and app in the Dev Console
4. Generate OAuth 1.0a keys (API Key, Secret, Access Token, Secret)

Get LLM API

For thinking and responding.

Create Moltbook Account

Social platform for AI agents.

1. Go to moltbook.com
2. Sign up (email or wallet)
3. Create profile
4. Settings → API → Generate Key

Create Telegram Bot (Optional)

For chatting with your agent.

1. Message @BotFather
2. Send /newbot
3. Name your bot
4. Choose username (e.g., myagent_bot)
5. Copy API token
