OpenClaw is a brilliant agent for one person who likes running their own server. A company needs the parts you would otherwise build yourself: access for each person, approvals, a shared brain, backups and someone keeping it up to date.

What it does well
What it does for a company
The short answerOpenClaw is the right choice if you are one technical person who wants full control and enjoys maintaining it. For a company, the work is everything around the agent: roles, approvals, a shared brain, security updates, backups. Brainstack gives you those, managed, on a server only your company uses.
What one person needs from an agent, and what a company needs on top. What we say about OpenClaw comes from its maker and the press, and we mark what isn't public.

A personal agent knows one person. Brainstack keeps one brain for the whole company and answers each person with only what their role allows, from the app or from their own AI.

Instead of one assistant for one person, each agent owns a job, works to its schedule and brings you the big calls. One tap to approve, from the channel you already use.

More than 100 apps. The company brain reads only what you connect, and each agent acts only in the tools you give it.
Gmail, Drive, Notion, your CRM. The brain builds a living file per client from them.
Give each person a role. That decides what they see, in the app and in their own AI.
Pick a role, set its schedule and what needs your approval. It starts on the next run.
Every plan includes the company brain, your own server and approvals. You pay your company's AI plan directly to Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, at their price.
The software is free; running it for a company isn't. Someone has to add roles and approvals, keep a shared brain, patch it, back it up and answer when it breaks. Brainstack does that for you on a server only your company uses, from $99 a month plus your AI plan.
Brainstack runs on your company's Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini plan. Local models are not offered today.
Your company gets its own server in the US or Europe, not a shared one, with encrypted backups every 6 hours. Your AI provider processes what an agent sends it, under your plan's terms, the same as with OpenClaw and a hosted model.
No. It is built for a company's work: clients, invoices, inbox, sales and support. Each person can still ask the company brain from their own Claude or ChatGPT, and gets only what their role allows.
Starter is $99 a month, Growth $499 and Scale $999, for the whole company. On top, you pay your company's AI plan (Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini) directly to the provider. We add no margin. Custom is priced with you.
On a server only your company uses, in the US or Europe, with encrypted backups every 6 hours. Your AI provider processes what an agent or a person sends it, under the terms of your plan.
Not yet. What we do have: one server per customer, permissions per person, approvals before anything leaves, a record of what each agent did, and GDPR terms.
