DynoClaw Guide

Everything you need to deploy and manage your AI teammate.

  2. Connect your Google Cloud project (OAuth)
  3. Configure your agent's personality, plugins, and skills
  4. Deploy with one click

Your 14-day free trial starts when you sign up. No credit card required.

GCP Setup

DynoClaw needs access to your GCP project to create a VM and manage secrets. When you sign in with Google, grant the cloud-platform scope.

Requirements

  • A GCP project with billing enabled
  • Compute Engine API enabled
  • Secret Manager API enabled
  • Owner or Editor role on the project

What Gets Created

  • An e2-small VM (~$12/mo)
  • Secrets in GCP Secret Manager for API keys
  • A firewall rule for health checks

Plugins

Plugins extend your AI teammate with new capabilities. Enable them from the Plugins page in your dashboard.

Available Plugins

  • Postiz — Post to X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more
  • Beehiiv — Create newsletter drafts
  • Twitter Research — Search and analyze tweets
  • Brave Search — Web search capability
  • Google Drive — Save generated media to Drive

Each plugin requires its own API keys, which you configure on the API Keys page.

Skills

Skills are scheduled tasks that your AI teammate runs automatically. Configure cron schedules from the Skills page.

Examples

  • Daily content generation at 9am
  • Weekly research reports every Monday
  • Hourly social media monitoring

Skills use cron syntax. You can override the default schedule for each skill.

API Keys

API keys are stored securely in GCP Secret Manager within your own project. DynoClaw never stores your keys on our servers.

Required Keys

  • OpenRouter API Key — Powers the AI models
  • Google API Key — For Gemini and other Google services

Optional Keys

  • Postiz API Key
  • Beehiiv API Key
  • Brave Search API Key
  • Twitter Bearer Token

Billing

DynoClaw offers three plans: Starter ($49/mo), Pro ($149/mo), and Enterprise (custom). All plans include a 14-day free trial.

Manage your subscription from the Billing page in your dashboard. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time through the Stripe customer portal.

Note: GCP infrastructure costs (VM, secrets, network) are billed directly by Google to your GCP project. DynoClaw pricing covers the platform, plugins, and support.
