OpenClaw setup with Hostinger, Telegram and Google

This beginner tutorial follows OpenClaw setup through Hostinger's managed hosting option. Nate first compares running the AI agent on a personal computer, a separate machine such as a Mac mini, or a rented server. He recommends a separate environment and notes that a computer must stay on for the assistant to keep working. The demonstrated setup uses hosted AI access rather than showing how to run models locally.

The Telegram walkthrough covers creating a bot with BotFather, choosing a username that ends in "bot", copying its token into Hostinger and approving a pairing code. Initial conversation establishes the assistant's name, time zone and response style. Nate also discusses setting limits on what it may do.

Google account access takes more work. The tutorial introduces ClawHub skills and uses Gog to connect Google services. It covers enabling APIs, configuring an OAuth consent screen, adding a test user and creating desktop-app credentials. Authentication fails during setup, and Nate retries by returning the full redirect URL to the bot.

For a task example, Nate reports that the assistant creates a 30-minute meeting for the following day at 2 p.m. He then requests a daily email briefing at 8 a.m. The final section explains how to restart or delete the bot through Hostinger if setup problems require starting over.
