Overview
OpenClaw is an AI orchestration layer designed to structure, manage, and execute workflows powered by large language models (LLMs). Instead of being a model itself, it acts as a coordination system that handles task sequencing, prompt management, and decision logic across AI-driven processes. This makes it particularly useful for developer teams building multi-step AI applications, where reliability and modularity are critical.
Integrating OpenClaw with Eden AI enables a multi-LLM strategy without increasing complexity. Since OpenClaw depends on external models to interpret and generate outputs, connecting it to a unified API like Eden AI allows developers to access more than 500 AI models through a single integration layer.
How it works
- Install OpenClaw from the official install script or via npm.
- Add Eden AI as a custom provider in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json with your API key and the base URL https://api.edenai.run/v3/llm.
From there, every action your OpenClaw agent is powered by the model of your choice, with built-in fallbacks, smart routing, and per-request cost visibility. For a complete step-by-step setup, check out our tutorial on how to integrate OpenClaw with Eden AI and run your agents with the AI model of your choice.
