Welcome to Runabot Documentation#

Runabot is a multi-tenant hosting solution for AI assistants such as OpenClaw.

We provide a turnkey platform for deploying and managing AI bots–without requiring any DevOps knowledge.

Features#

  • Isolated Environments: Each bot runs in a secure Kubernetes Pod.
  • Web Terminal: Full shell access to your bot from any browser.
  • Backups: Automated backups via Velero. You can create a new bot from any backup.
  • OIDC Authentication: Secure login with Google, Microsoft, or email.

Roadmap#

Here’s where we are and where we’re heading:

  • MVP – Core platform with bot deployment, web terminal, and user management
  • Backup & Restore – Full bot state backup with one-click restore
  • Own Inference Infrastructure – Self-hosted LLM for unlimited, private inference
  • Network Security & Prompt Injection Protection – Enhanced isolation and AI safety measures
  • First Paying Customers – Launch subscription plans and onboard early adopters
  • Trillion-Parameter Model – Scale to a state-of-the-art open-source model as community grows

Who We Are#

We are two IT engineers, each with over 15 years of experience in software engineering and DevOps.

We live in Germany and work at IT companies in high-rank technical roles. Runabot is our hobby project, currently used by friends and family. We built it to scratch our own itch – and we think others will find it useful too.


Our Vision#

“Together we are strong”

Our aim is to build a community of bot users–both private individuals and businesses–who share common values: privacy, cost efficiency, and independence from commercial AI providers.

Together, we will run inference of a large, “smart” open-source model that provides a great bot experience. This approach solves many challenges:

Challenge Solution
GDPR Compliance Data stays in Germany, ensuring EU compliance for individuals and businesses alike.
LLM Cost & Limits No subscription caps means your bot is always available.
Privacy Your conversations remain private, not used for training.
