What are Auto-Install Experiences?

Auto-Install Experiences let your customers buy a fully managed AI product from your branded landing page. When they complete checkout, the platform automatically:
  1. Creates their customer account
  2. Provisions a dedicated private server
  3. Deploys and configures the AI agent
  4. Funds the account with the plan’s AI credits
  5. Enables their portal (AI Chat + Infrastructure dashboard)
  6. Sends a welcome email with login details
No manual steps are required from you or the customer.
The Partner Portal One-Click Experiences catalog contains 8 active + 8 Coming Soon cards (AI Receptionist, AI Personal Assistant, OpenClaw Setup Service, AI Business Audit, Resell AI Gateway, etc.). This page covers only the Auto-Install sub-slice of that catalog.
Two auto-install experiences are currently in Beta:
ExperienceWhat deploys
OpenClaw Auto-InstallOpenClaw agent accessible via Telegram; connects Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion and more
Hermes Auto-InstallNous Research Hermes autonomous agent (web browsing, code execution, persistent memory)
Both experiences are currently Beta. Core functionality — provisioning, deployment, billing, credit refill, and portal access — works end to end. Visual polish and per-plan landing page customisation are fast-follows.

​
Prerequisites

Before enabling either auto-install experience:
  1. Stripe Connect must be active and fully onboarded. The customer checkout runs on your Stripe Connect account. Go to Settings → Stripe Connect to verify.
  2. Server capacity: each subscriber gets a dedicated private server. Make sure you have capacity for the expected subscriber volume.
Partner Portal — Settings page Stripe Connect section: connected Express account, Accept Charges + Receive Payouts both green Enabled, Revenue Sharing 2.5% Platform Fee (you keep 97.50%), Premium Benefit callout noting 1% preferential rate.

​
Enable an auto-install experience

  1. Go to Experiences in the Partner Portal sidebar.
  2. Find the card for OpenClaw Auto-Install or Hermes Auto-Install.
  3. Click the Enable toggle.
  4. The experience is now live at your partner domain at its default alias:
    • OpenClaw Auto-Install: /{your-domain}/openclaw-autoinstall
    • Hermes Auto-Install: /{your-domain}/hermes-autoinstall
One-Click Experiences page — Available Experiences grid with AI Receptionist, AI Personal Assistant, OpenClaw Auto-Install (Enable toggle highlighted), Hermes Auto-Install, and AI Business Audit cards.

​
Configure pricing tiers

Each auto-install experience supports multiple subscription plans (“tiers”). You define the server spec and AI credit allowance per tier; the platform sets up a recurring subscription price for each one automatically.

​
Open the experience settings

  1. Click the Settings (gear ⚙) icon on the experience card.
  2. Scroll to the Pricing Tiers section.

​
Add or edit a tier

For each tier, configure:
FieldDescription
Plan nameDisplayed to customers on the landing page (e.g. “Starter”, “Pro”, “Scale”)
PriceMonthly subscription price in your currency
VPS PlanThe server spec to provision (CPU / RAM / storage options shown as a dropdown)
AI Credits / monthNumber of AI credits included in the monthly subscription
EnabledToggle the tier on/off without deleting it
Save the tier to set up a matching recurring subscription price on your Connect account. Existing subscribers are not migrated automatically when you change a tier’s price — only new checkouts use the new price.
Pricing Tiers editor — a Lite tier card with Internal Name, Display Name, Description, Price, Currency, Interval, Highlight toggle, and Features list. Auto-install experiences add VPS Plan and AI Credits / month fields below Price.

​
Customer checkout flow

When a customer visits your landing page and picks a plan:
  1. They are redirected to a Stripe Checkout page on your Connect account.
  2. On successful payment, setup begins automatically:
    • Account created (customer + portal login)
    • AI credits funded for the plan
    • A dedicated private server provisioned
    • Agent deployed to the server
    • Portal features unlocked: AI Chat + Infrastructure / Agency dashboard
  3. A welcome email is sent to the customer with their login details. No password is ever collected at checkout — the platform generates a secure temporary password and delivers it by email.

​
Checking order status

While setup runs, the customer’s landing page shows a live progress indicator — the server provisions and the agent deploys (typically 2–5 minutes) before the account is ready.
Customer-facing onboarding progress — Step 1 of 5 (Business Name + Website) for the AI Personal Assistant experience. Auto-install substitutes the same step-indicator pattern with provisioning steps (account → VPS → deploy → ready).

​
Ongoing billing

​
Monthly credit refill

Each time an auto-install subscription renews and payment succeeds, the platform automatically tops up the customer’s AI credit balance to the plan’s included credits. No manual action is needed.

​
Cancellation

When a subscription is cancelled or payment lapses:
  • The customer’s AI access is revoked — the deployed agent can no longer make model calls.
  • The server and its data are not automatically deleted (you can manage the server separately under VPS Servers).
  • If the customer resubscribes, access is restored and the agent is re-funded.

​
Partner portal visibility

Once a customer completes setup, their record appears in your Customers list tagged with the experience type. From their customer page you can:
  • View their current credit balance
  • Access the VPS Terminal
  • See the Infrastructure / Agency dashboard
  • Top up credits manually if needed
Customer modal Credits tab — Current Balance (1,012 credits), Monthly Allocation (0 / disabled), Total Used, and Recent Transactions list. The same credit balance UI applies to auto-install subscribers; their VPS Terminal appears in the Deployment tab.

​
OpenClaw Auto-Install

OpenClaw Auto-Install deploys a personal AI accessible via Telegram. Once setup completes, the customer can message their Telegram bot to:
  • Read and draft emails via connected Gmail
  • Manage Google Calendar (schedule meetings, daily briefings)
  • Query and update Notion pages
  • And more via the Knotie AI Gateway
The default alias is /openclaw-autoinstall. You can change it under Experience Settings → General.

​
What the customer sees

Landing page hero: “Your Personal AI. One Click. No Tech Skills Needed.” After checkout and setup:
  • A welcome email arrives with portal login credentials.
  • The customer logs in and finds AI Chat enabled in their portal sidebar.
  • Their connected apps (Gmail, Calendar, Notion) are listed in the integration panel.

​
Hermes Auto-Install

Hermes Auto-Install deploys Nous Research’s Hermes — a fully autonomous AI agent — on a dedicated private VPS. Hermes can:
  • Browse the live web
  • Run shell commands and execute code
  • Use tools through the Knotie AI Gateway
  • Maintain persistent memory across sessions
The default alias is /hermes-autoinstall. You can change it under Experience Settings → General.

​
What the customer sees

Landing page hero: “Your Own Autonomous AI. On Your Own Private Server. One Click.” After checkout and setup:
  • A welcome email arrives with portal login credentials.
  • The customer logs in and finds AI Chat + Infrastructure dashboard in their portal sidebar.
  • They can chat with Hermes directly from the portal — no terminal required.
  • The VPS runs Hermes exclusively on dedicated compute (not shared).
For customers who want to interact with Hermes directly over SSH, they can run hermes chat in the VPS terminal. Run hermes doctor to verify the install health. See Hermes Agent Setup for the full deploy + chat API reference.

​
Troubleshooting

Checkout completes but the customer’s portal isn’t set up Check the order status:
  1. In the Partner Portal, open the customer record.
  2. Look for a failed or pending auto-install order under their account.
  3. If the order is stuck, contact support with the order reference — setup can safely be re-run.
Server provisioning fails This usually means you’ve run out of server capacity. Verify you have room for another server, then re-trigger the order. AI credits not refilling Make sure your Stripe Connect account is fully connected under Settings → Stripe Connect so renewal payments come through. If credits still don’t top up after a successful renewal, contact support. Agent not responding (Hermes) Re-run the install from VPS → My Instances → Reinstall — it is safe to re-run and will not wipe customer data.
