AI Companions for Your OpenClaw Bot

Companions are specialist AI personalities that extend your OpenClaw bot with deep, domain-specific knowledge and persistent memory. Unlike generic AI tools, Companions build up a picture of you over time, your tastes, habits, and preferences, stored privately on your own VPS.

Model requirements

Section titled “Model requirements”

Companions use detailed instruction sets that require a capable AI model to follow reliably. Mid-tier models and above are recommended, for example:

  • Recommended: Gemini 3.7 Flash, GPT-5.6 Luna, GLM-5.3, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Qwen 3.8 Max
  • Premium (best experience): Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol

Not recommended: Lite, nano, or free-tier models (e.g. Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite, GPT-5 Nano) may ignore companion instructions, fail to read/write data correctly, or ask unnecessary follow-up questions instead of acting.

If your companion isn’t behaving as expected, try switching to a more capable model from Dashboard > Settings > Bot.

How billing works

Section titled “How billing works”

Free companions are included with your subscription at no extra cost. Paid companions (coming soon) will be billed monthly and prorated if installed mid-cycle.
