OpenClaw-aware builders do not need a category lesson.

They need OpenClaw running reliably.

The hosted path is aimed at the runtime work teams do not want to keep rebuilding:

  • channels
  • runtime configuration
  • updates
  • runtime-native sessions
  • hosting
  • logs
  • deployment controls
  • basic security posture

That is the runtime layer.

The IKE environment around it supplies the reusable product layer:

  • Personas for consistent behavior
  • Knowledge Collections for scoped knowledge
  • Skills and Tools for controlled capabilities and workflows
  • Permissions for explicit operating boundaries
  • source context for reviewable outputs
  • runtime and session access

The offer

The permanent Free plan includes logged-in IKE access, Personas, Knowledge, Skills, Tools, Permissions, blocks within the Free limits, a Direct Agent, and selected IKE-provided models. Direct Agent starts the Persona on IKE’s separate, shared, on-demand service, scoped to the signed-in user, tenant, Persona, and chat, while IKE saves the conversation for later reopening.

A Smart Agent runs on dedicated resources that Ikentic hosts and manages. The selected framework keeps its native sessions and capabilities beyond the browser connection, and IKE Professional covers the ongoing hosting. The same foundation can also support a purpose-built Agent Application. Start with 7 days free, then continue for $20/month. A payment method is required. Professional includes higher block limits, unlimited messaging, priority support, advanced persona features, and one active Smart Agent per account or team.

The responsibility boundary

Ikentic operates the hosted environment, lifecycle, and IKE control surfaces available for the plan.

You control channel credentials, the content connected to the agent, and the people allowed to use it.

Review the full Hosted OpenClaw offer or compare plans.

The first version does not need every enterprise control on day one. It does need the first session to work and the upgrade path to be obvious.
