What is KiloClaw?
KiloClaw is Kilo's managed cloud agent service, designed to let developers deploy a persistent AI agent without setting up servers or managing infrastructure.
Each KiloClaw instance runs on a dedicated virtual machine with shell access, persistent storage, a headless browser, cron scheduling for recurring tasks, and cross-session memory.
The agent stays running between conversations, making it suitable for tasks that need to monitor, execute, or respond to events over time rather than just answering one-off queries.
The platform sits inside the broader Kilo ecosystem, which also includes Kilo Code, an open-source AI coding extension for VS Code, JetBrains, and the CLI with over 500 model options at zero markup pricing.
KiloClaw extends this into always-on automation: developers who use Kilo Code for interactive coding can deploy KiloClaw agents to handle background jobs, scheduled data pulls, automated testing runs, or any workflow that needs to execute independently on a regular basis.
The ClawHub marketplace provides over 610 pre-built automation recipes that can be deployed directly into a KiloClaw instance.
Compared to running a local Claude Code session or a self-hosted agent with LangGraph or AutoGPT, KiloClaw's primary advantage is the elimination of DevOps overhead. Setting up a persistent agent on a cloud VM requires configuring compute, managing model API keys, handling restarts, and wiring up scheduling.
KiloClaw handles all of that in what the company describes as a 60-second deployment. The trade-off compared to self-hosted alternatives is less customization of the underlying infrastructure for organizations with strict requirements about where their compute runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is KiloClaw and how is it different from running a local AI agent?
KiloClaw is a managed hosted AI agent that runs on a dedicated VM in Kilo's cloud. Unlike a local agent that only runs when your computer is on, KiloClaw runs 24/7 with persistent memory across sessions, cron-scheduled tasks, and access to a headless browser and shell. It eliminates the need to provision your own cloud VM, configure model API keys, or manage restarts.
KiloClaw vs self-hosted AutoGPT which is better for persistent agents?
Self-hosted AutoGPT gives more control over infrastructure, model selection, and deployment configuration, and is the right choice for teams with specific compliance requirements or complex multi-agent architectures. KiloClaw is the faster path to a working persistent agent for developers who want to focus on what the agent does rather than how it runs. The 60-second deployment claim is realistic for standard use cases, whereas self-hosting AutoGPT typically takes hours to configure correctly.
How much does KiloClaw cost?
KiloClaw costs $49 per month for the hosted VM infrastructure. Model usage is billed separately at provider-direct rates with no markup through Kilo Gateway. New accounts receive $20 in free credits for model usage. This means the actual monthly cost depends on how many tokens your agent consumes, in addition to the $49 base fee.
What models can I use with KiloClaw?
KiloClaw has access to over 500 models through Kilo Gateway, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and many others. All models are priced at the provider's published rate with zero additional markup. This makes it straightforward to compare model costs and switch models without renegotiating pricing.
Can KiloClaw run scheduled tasks automatically?
Yes. Each KiloClaw instance includes a cron scheduler that can trigger tasks on a time-based schedule without manual intervention. This makes it suitable for recurring workflows like daily data pulls, automated report generation, scheduled API calls, or periodic monitoring tasks. The cron setup is managed through the KiloClaw interface without writing cron files or configuring server-level schedulers.
