In this video I test OpenClaw — the open-source, self-hosted AI assistant that runs on your own hardware and connects to Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, and more. I show you how to deploy it on a Hostinger VPS using their one-click Docker template, run the onboarding, and extend it with skills from ClawHub. I also cover the security boundaries and token cost traps you need to understand before giving it real access to your systems.
