Get OpenClaw to Actually BUILD with Claude Code

All right, guys. So, this is a really interesting video and this is really for people who are considering building something which actually you're you're in the perfect position for this.

>> Yes.

>> This the video is for you, Ron. Yeah.

>> But this is for people who are considering building minor projects, starting out prototyping. And the most powerful way to do this, honestly, is with Claude code. But it doesn't have to

be exclusive. You don't really even need

be exclusive. You don't really even need to use claw code.

>> Yeah. but rather you can get your agent to use cloud code. And I think that's the one one of the most powerful combinations possible. Yeah.

combinations possible. Yeah.

>> And this actually even applies to people who want to make a even something like simple as as a dashboard for your life.

Maybe you're like on a keto diet, which I'm doing right now. And I can make a keto dashboard to track my macros, maybe even send a photo to my bot. But then it makes a full dashboard for me with

pictures and annotations of what I've eaten. Like these are kind of cool

eaten. Like these are kind of cool projects that you can do with cloud code. And there's a reason for moving to

code. And there's a reason for moving to cloud code as well. So the way that I set this up and I'll show you guys my setup is that I actually don't use cloud codes. U I do use cloud code, but my

codes. U I do use cloud code, but my agent also uses cloud code. So he's

like, "Oh, I have a big refactor of cloud code. I have a cleanup. He's

cloud code. I have a cleanup. He's

running tasks to build me new games."

Yep. This is like a fully autonomous life. And this can really apply to

life. And this can really apply to everything that you're doing. and we're

going to show you step by step how we set this up and how it's kind of functioning in the background and just some u stay to the end because there's some bugs I encountered along the way.

>> I'm definitely going to be watching this video again [laughter] >> again. All right, so the first thing

>> again. All right, so the first thing that I really want to show you guys uh is the setup. The setup is actually really simple. Uh getting your agent to

really simple. Uh getting your agent to use clock code is that's it's just as simple as that. Just telling him messaging it uh making sure he's using clock code. Um, but sometimes for some

clock code. Um, but sometimes for some reason, uh, I just want to find the chat log here. Uh, he had a a little bit of a

log here. Uh, he had a a little bit of a problem. That's a little bit of a snafu

problem. That's a little bit of a snafu working with cloud code. So, just make sure you just test your tell your agent, yo, you know, I really want to make sure that cloud code is building and it's using cloud code. There are some setup requirements like say for example, you

need to log in and you can tell your agent to login for you as well. So, you

can just tell them, oh, your API key is loaded, blah, blah, blah. It'll get it started.

>> So, what we're using um cloud code. Oh,

yeah. that this is where it says oh got terminated but but I'll know it faster.

So um I actually asked it why check why cloud code is being terminated why was there an error how I want to make sure you want uh to get this lot working long term. So a comm uh a quick chat like

term. So a comm uh a quick chat like that will force it to use clock code and it'll look into the issue uh make sure it's working. So there you go. Yeah. Um

it's working. So there you go. Yeah. Um

I also enable dangerously skip permissions. Uh this is just easier for

permissions. Uh this is just easier for the AI to handle any pop-ups that happen when um clock code shows up. But that's

um really just it. Um the setup process is just that easy. Tell your agent use clock code and then I said make it a skill for you to use clock code so we have a good procedure. I think these are the the kind of key words that you want

to do it. So again there's no like there's no hard software setup. Just get

your agent to handle everything and handle the login but of course you have to pay for it.

>> That being said of course um cloud code actually can use u be with use your miniax plan. I know on this this channel

miniax plan. I know on this this channel a lot of you guys are using miniax plans or whatnot and you can all just search miniax.code

miniax.code the code and they have a full instructions yet again if you don't understand anything here you can actually um ask your AI to understand it

for you but the key here is that just ask it to hey if you're using cloud code and you can't log in just change the anthropic u base URL change that and enter your minimax key I'm not going to

show that on this channel but enter your coding API um coding minia max plan and that gets you up and running with pretty much less than like 20 $20. Um, right

now I have a coding plan which is uh the $20 uh one and that's more than enough for you to build and use with and I've used with both um the miniax clock code

and with um actual anthropic cloud.

>> Oh, so the miniax uh cloud code is already in the coding plan of Miniax. So

you don't need >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so you

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so you can just directly use your API key which is this one here. It's trunicated. So

you can just copy it the full key give it to your agent and tell him to set it up. You don't have to set up yourself.

up. You don't have to set up yourself.

>> All right. So, you don't have to set up yourself and you just have to do that confirmation that it's working. I think

that was that was what's confusing a lot of people.

>> Yeah.

>> So, why you would you want to use this?

Well, because Cloud Code has a lot of built-in features. Uh this is me logging

built-in features. Uh this is me logging onto the full fat version of Cloud Code.

Let me just show you guys very quickly on the screen.

>> Uh this is what Cloud Code really looks like behind the scenes. And this is actually a communication that my agent sent to Cloud Code. So, yet again, you don't have to do it. Your agent's in charge of your product management. Sorry

for tapping the mic there, but your agents in charge of getting the management and everything done. Yeah.

So, uh these are just um so I wanted to show you guys the chat log. So, it's

actually really really good. Um they

they have full specifications. I train

my agent to give full specifications for cloud code. So, this is essentially like

cloud code. So, this is essentially like running your full it's like essentially hiring I will say like a $800 per month developer. Um I worked with a $100 per

developer. Um I worked with a $100 per month developers in the past and you know you have to have meetings with them. you have to tell them what you

them. you have to tell them what you need, but your agent really handles all that and it gives us the it gives the specification documents and then you let cloud code handle the rest.

>> Uh why would you want to use cloud code?

Agents can technically build themselves.

So technically if you if you add your agent and technically your agent can build but what makes cloud code good is that it has very good understanding of your code.

>> Yeah.

>> So it's like it's a billion dollar software. All right. From a billion

software. All right. From a billion dollar company. So, uh, using all the

dollar company. So, uh, using all the tools available that your agents is able to use all the tools available. We'll

talk about that in a future video. But

because of these tools, it makes building much easier and much more, I think, robust. Yeah. So, um, yeah. So,

think, robust. Yeah. So, um, yeah. So,

let let me show you guys very quickly what my agent built. I'll show you guys this example. Uh, this is Grandmaster.

this example. Uh, this is Grandmaster.

Uh, I told him to build a game for me every single one hour. So, this is his grandmasters arena. This is just a very

grandmasters arena. This is just a very test project, but uh these are mini games that the the the bot built me and it just like makes me play uh a mini

game every uh 8 seconds right now is a is a it's um right now it's in building progress. But uh you can see that uh the

progress. But uh you can see that uh the use of cloud code is very powerful here because uh it has a very good intelligence on my codebase. Yep.

>> Uh it can just build and you can actually report bugs to your agent and tell cloud code to fix it.

>> Right. So this just um well it say oh yeah this is pretty this is pretty okay there you go. So this is what I built and all these games it came up with autonomously. So I feel like this is the

autonomously. So I feel like this is the power of AI. This really made me say wow AI is really powerful. I've done game development in the past and if I want to make mini games I have to write these

specifications to um to to the developer. I have to talk to a game

developer. I have to talk to a game designer. But the way I set up um

designer. But the way I set up um everything here with grandmaster uh this is me reviewing my secrets is that grandmaster actually runs every one hour

on a cron job. Now we're talking about cron jobs drops on this channel. It runs

and it builds with cloud code and then I asked it to like let's say for example a very complicated re um um interaction is oh let me um run a comprehensive refactor which is just make the code

cleaner make it nicer easier to work with. So all of this is done

with. So all of this is done autonomously. I don't have to come in

autonomously. I don't have to come in and, you know, look feature by feature.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead.

>> Go ahead. Go ahead.

>> I'd say the biggest takeaway I've learned from Michael is if you want to develop something, cloud code is like the most natural language for agents to

use, right? Cuz we have used cursor in

use, right? Cuz we have used cursor in the past to build something, but usually what ends up happening is the specs and the output, the product is not what we're looking for. M

>> whereas when we use cloud code they think of the specifications for us if we give them >> the correct the right user requirements and I think that's the way you have to kind of train yourself like I think this is where um I spent a lot of my time and

I think you're absolutely right we tried with cursor we tried with uh even >> before that wind surf I'm not sure you guys remember that but windsurf cursor

and uh with claude and I actually personally trained myself to use claude and um I I kind of decided in the and I don't really need to. My agent knows how to do this for me. Yeah. So, it's not a

situation. I I saw a previous post on X

situation. I I saw a previous post on X before like, oh, you should learn cloud code and you shouldn't learn um how to uh open claw. But actually, Open Claw can use cloud code. I think it's just

they go hand in hand. I actually really think that it's um it's sort of like getting your procedure right uh to make it work with cloud code and then you produce code that is or a project that's

a lot more manageable. Then of course um obviously your agent is going to fail at some point but u the great thing is you can always just log back in. So I

actually put cloud code on the same computer as uh my agent is running which is yet again why our recommended approach to use open claw or do any of this AI stuff is to just buy a very

cheap VPS like a $3 VPS. You can run this and uh the the the the websites are public and again this is doxing what I'm I'm doing but you know you uh anyone can

play Grandmaster. You can give them

play Grandmaster. You can give them people like these mini games to play uh get some of food. But these are fun games that they they just like the AI just came up with.

>> Pizza.

>> Pizza. Oh. Oh. Oh, you missed it. You

got fast eight seconds.

>> So, you can see that we're having a lot of a time good time with this. And

honestly, um after um using this for um I used this setup for around um a week.

>> Yeah. Um, previously I was just purely doing it myself. Then I realized that um um doing it a week with uh my agent running it. I found that if I specify

running it. I found that if I specify the intents very well, if I specify the requirements very well, it can really do this autonomously. And yeah, you don't

this autonomously. And yeah, you don't really need to touch too much. So I know this is a very hot topic, but also it's really hard for us to cover on YouTube because we don't know where you guys are

at. What I want to see from this video,

at. What I want to see from this video, um, this is where feedback is really important was like, are you guys trying this? Did the setup procedure work for

this? Did the setup procedure work for you if you just type it into cloud code?

I don't know where people find errors.

Like for me, I ran it like four times, but um each time I had a very little different error. So say say sometimes

different error. So say say sometimes the error was with dangerously skip permissions, like I'll have to enable that. Yes. Yet again, it's dangerously

that. Yes. Yet again, it's dangerously skipped permissions for a reason, right?

But um because it's running on a VPS, you don't have any danger of that touching your real life, right? So even

if you run commands like this because it's on a $3 VP like VPS server um you you won't worst case that'll happen is like you'll just reset your server, right? Worst case that happens is like

right? Worst case that happens is like if if something goes bad just do a full reinstall. It doesn't really matter,

reinstall. It doesn't really matter, right? Which is why we have so many test

right? Which is why we have so many test servers here to try different things.

But at the end of the day, what you really want is you want to produce something that can help you with your life. I feel like that's kind of where

life. I feel like that's kind of where >> I generally sense the channel is going.

A lot of people are asking, oh, how how do I produce something that helps with my life? And you know, this I would say

my life? And you know, this I would say is one of the biggest upgrades.

>> Yeah, certainly.

>> Yeah. And um some some things that um I think you brought you brought to my attention a dashboard, right? I think a lot of people you were see uh you're seeing a dashboard. World dashboard.

What was that?

>> World monitor.

>> World monitor.

>> Uh so I think another idea for us um is like something like this. So like say for example, someone produces really amazing world monitor and you want to customize it. Yeah. Then you can

customize it. Yeah. Then you can actually ask cloud code to just replicate it. Like there's a GitHub

replicate it. Like there's a GitHub repository. So you can actually do

repository. So you can actually do simple commands really simple. I don't

want to um do this right now, but you can really simply type type up and say, "Hey, uh this project is really cool.

Can you clone it and run it and also study it and and also study it with bod code?" So something like this, a command

code?" So something like this, a command like this uh will allow you to even run something. Um uh I've done some crazy

something. Um uh I've done some crazy stuff in the past where like I would tell um my agent to use cloud code to study the entire codebase of open claw

and write me a plugin. So yet again you you shouldn't be limited by your imagination. And I think that was my

imagination. And I think that was my biggest struggle here when I first started AI. I was like, "Oh, I thought,

started AI. I was like, "Oh, I thought, oh, this is very techy. It's it's got GitHub, you know, I shouldn't touch that." You know, that's that's what a

that." You know, that's that's what a lot of people might start off with. But

honestly, because the AI is so smart, it can just tackle with that.

>> There are some limitations though. I do

say, you know, why I said it was like a $800 per month programmer is because it does make some basic mistakes along the way and you have to guide it. Yeah. But

in terms of the uh actual intelligence of these AI models, I would say both Miniax and um Opus are just really really substantially smart. They're

they're they're they're as good as let's say 150K >> programmers uh per year programmers in the US. But that being said, you have to

the US. But that being said, you have to guide it correctly. And one of the biggest questions for for for me here with this channel is like, oh, do you guys struggle and how how are you struggling guiding? and we'll make a

struggling guiding? and we'll make a video tailored to that. So, I say this is the first foundational video for cloud code with openclaw, but um as we progress on this channel, we can do some

really complicated projects and really start disrupting things. I would say really start disrupting things.

>> You guys have no idea just how powerful this is. And I don't really see a lot of

this is. And I don't really see a lot of people talking about using open cloud with cloud code on YouTube.

>> Yes. Yes. People think it's too techy. I

I see the engineers doing it, but we never uh there wasn't a really strong uh let's do it for dummies, and that's what we want to do on this channel. We we we learned everything. Well, uh well, I

learned everything. Well, uh well, I learned the clock code side, but uh Ron's just starting out. Uh he's made videos, he's done um a little bit of uh video content work, but you have you haven't you haven't been a full programmer. You don't have a full

programmer. You don't have a full programming experience. And that's what

programming experience. And that's what I want to take you through this journey and take it through for you guys as well. So, Ron kind of represents you

well. So, Ron kind of represents you guys on this channel. I hope that's that's our hope, too. So yeah, tell me you guys uh I know there's a foundation review, but just leave a comment below.

Tell me what you guys want to see and yeah, we'll move on from there. So with

that guys, thank you guys so much for watching this video. We'll see you guys in the next one.
