Launch your first isolated AI bot runtime
Sign up, create a bot, add skills, and deploy your first isolated AI bot runtime with ShipClaw in a few minutes.
The fastest path from zero to a live, isolated bot.
1. Sign up
Head to /auth/sign-up. Email or social login, your call.
2. Pick a workspace
You'll land on your personal account. If you're collaborating with a team, use the account switcher in the top left to create a team workspace. Personal accounts are fine for testing.
3. Build something
Click Bots → New Bot. The visual builder opens with a blank canvas. Set:
- A name (whatever makes sense to you)
- A model provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or your own key)
- A short description of what this bot does
Drop in a few skills from the palette on the left. Gmail, web search, and Slack are good starting points. Save when you're happy.
4. Deploy
Hit Deploy in the top right. The wizard runs through five quick steps: runtime config, skills, channels, automations, review. The defaults are sensible. Click through, confirm, ship.
About 60 seconds later your bot is live at its own URL.
5. Talk to it
Open the Chat tab. Send a message. Watch the right panel for tool calls. If something goes sideways, the Monitoring tab has logs.
What now
The Your First Bot walkthrough is more thorough if you want to see the whole pipeline with a realistic example. Otherwise just start clicking around. The builder is hard to break.
