Documentation
Everything you need to know about Norman.
What is Norman?
Norman is a hosted, consumer-friendly wrapper around OpenClaw — the open-source AI agent platform. It runs on ClawAPI, our production-grade backend powered by AWS Bedrock.
You don't need to install anything, open a terminal, or configure Docker. Sign up, pick a template, and deploy an AI agent that handles real messages on Telegram or Discord.
Norman is built by TMRW Group and powered by the same infrastructure that runs ClawAPI's enterprise customers.
Getting Started
1. Sign up at norman.tmrwgroup.ai/signup — free, no credit card required.
2. Verify your email — check your inbox for a verification link.
3. Pick a template — Customer Support, Scheduling, FAQ, or just explore.
4. Choose a channel — Telegram or Discord (free tier).
5. Your agent is live — it responds to real messages immediately.
The free plan includes 1 agent, 1 channel, and 50 messages per day.
Bot Setup (Telegram)
To connect a Telegram bot:
1. Open Telegram and message @BotFather
2. Send `/newbot` and follow the prompts to create a bot
3. Copy the bot token (looks like `123456:ABC-DEF...`)
4. Paste it into the Norman dashboard when creating your agent
5. Norman handles everything else — webhook registration, SSL, hosting
Your bot will be live at a custom domain: `bot-{id}.clawapi.io`
