🧭 What Mission Control Does
Everything OpenClaw can do, without typing commands.
Prompt Helper & Run Now
Pick a ready-made prompt, fill in a few blanks, and run it. Results are ranked, summarized and saved right in Mission Control.
Message OpenClaw
Ask your assistant a quick question and get the answer back in Mission Control.
Provider Control
Switch AI provider in one click, use free web search, and get an alert when a provider runs out of credits.
Schedule Builder Full
Turn any task into a daily, weekly or hourly job. It runs on its own, in a fresh chat each time, and saves every result.
Jobs That Remember Full
Each scheduled job keeps its own notes and history, so results show what's new since the last run. Add standing instructions it follows every time.
Research Folders Full
Runs can save files and build on them - one prompt collects headlines weekly, another digs deeper. Browse, reset or delete them in Research & Job Data.
Email-In & Results Full
Email yourself a request from anywhere. Mission Control runs it and emails the result back - no need to be at your PC.
Create Prompt Full
Write your own reusable tasks in plain words, add data files to work through, and keep API keys private in Template Settings.
Heartbeat & Backups Full
Restarts OpenClaw if it stops, switches to a backup AI model if one runs out, reports runs that stall, and can shut down by email.
⚡ 3 Buttons. That's the Whole Install.
The free setup assistant walks you through installing OpenClaw with three one-click buttons — no commands to type or copy-paste.
① Install Ubuntu/WSL
One click sets up the Windows Subsystem for Linux environment OpenClaw runs on.
② Install Node.js
One click installs Node.js and nvm — the runtime OpenClaw needs.
③ Install OpenClaw
One click installs OpenClaw itself and walks you into onboarding — choose your AI provider, enter your key, and you're running.
Prefer typing your own commands? A Manual Setup path is still there for advanced users.
📧 Run Tasks From Your Inbox
Mission Control includes Email-In: send yourself an email and OpenClaw turns it into a real task automatically — no need to open Mission Control at all.
How it works
Set up a dedicated email account and a secret word in Mission Control's Email Settings. Send yourself a request with the secret word in the subject line, and Mission Control confirms receipt, runs it, and emails you the result. Ask for something recurring ("check gas prices every day at 8am") and it creates a real scheduled job automatically — the same as building one by hand.
Built-in safeguards
Only mail sent from and to your own configured address, with the correct secret word, gets acted on — everything else is left untouched. Destructive actions or anything touching credentials always require typing directly into Mission Control, never email alone.
🧪 Check Your PC Before Installing
Use the OpenClaw Compatibility Checker to review your Windows setup before buying or installing.
