Setting up an AI assistant should be easy. But between provisioning infrastructure, managing API keys, configuring integrations, and keeping everything running, the gap between "I want an AI assistant" and "I have one that works" is wider than it needs to be.
Today we're excited to announce our partnership with Klaus, a hosted OpenClaw platform that closes that gap entirely. And every Klaus user now gets Orthogonal pre-installed with access to hundreds of APIs out of the box.
What is Klaus?
Klaus is an opinionated, batteries-included distribution of OpenClaw. No API keys to create, no commands to run, no apps to build. Just sign in and start talking.
Key Features
Your Own OpenClaw VM Every user gets a dedicated instance running OpenClaw in the cloud. It remembers everything and learns your preferences over time.
Security Built In No access to personal data by default. Integrations have smart permissions to keep your data safe.
Batteries Included Pre-configured integrations like Google Workspace, browser automation, and more. No API keys to manage.
Available 24/7 Access from your laptop or phone, via Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, or the web.
Actually Gets Things Done Manages your inbox, helps you shop, completes forms, writes code, and handles the tedious tasks you'd rather not.
Orthogonal on Every Klaus Instance
Here's where it gets interesting. Every Klaus user now gets Orthogonal pre-installed with $20 in free credits, which means access to hundreds of APIs from the moment they sign in:
- Olostep for scraping websites and extracting data from any page
- Sixtyfour for AI-powered research agents
- Coresignal for fresh public web data on companies and professionals
- People Data Labs for person and company enrichment
- And dozens more, all accessible through a single integration
No API keys to create. No accounts to set up. No billing to configure. Your Klaus assistant just has these capabilities from day one. When the $20 in credits runs out, you can top up and keep going.
Why This Matters
The promise of AI assistants is that they handle things for you. But most assistants hit a wall the moment they need to interact with the outside world: send a text, look up a contact, check a price, scrape a page.
Klaus with Orthogonal removes that wall. Your assistant can research leads, enrich contacts, scrape web data, and run AI research agents without you ever touching an API dashboard.
This is what "batteries included" actually looks like.
