A web app that lets department heads deploy always-on OpenClaw work agents through Slack or Teams with role-based skills, budget caps, and manager approval chains

Running OpenClaw yourself requires Node.js, API keys, Docker, and 24/7 uptime management. Most business teams will never do this. KiloClaw proved hosted OpenClaw works (760 Product Hunt upvotes, #1 Product of the Day). Microsoft validated the enterprise model by building Scout on OpenClaw for 365 users. Eve showed demand for background work agents that just run until the task is done. The gap is a platform where non-technical department heads configure agents for their team through Slack or Teams without touching infrastructure.
