# Launch NemoClaw with the Brev Web UI Use the Brev web UI to launch a hosted NemoClaw sandbox from your browser. This flow provisions a remote VM, configures inference, starts OpenClaw inside an OpenShell sandbox, and opens the OpenClaw dashboard. **Note:** Use this guide when you want to try NemoClaw without installing the CLI or using a local GPU. If you want to manage the remote host from a terminal, see [Deploy to a Remote GPU Instance](../SKILL.md). ## What This Flow Creates The Brev web flow creates the following resources: - A Brev-managed Linux VM. - Docker and the OpenShell runtime on that VM. - A NemoClaw sandbox running OpenClaw. - Inference routing for the provider you select during setup. - A browser-accessible OpenClaw dashboard. ## Prerequisites - An NVIDIA Brev account at [brev.nvidia.com](https://brev.nvidia.com). - An NVIDIA API key from [build.nvidia.com](https://build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys) if you use the default NVIDIA Cloud provider. You do not need to install local software for this flow. ## Get Your NVIDIA API Key If you already have an NVIDIA API key skip this section. Otherwise, follow these steps to generate a new key: 1. Go to [build.nvidia.com](https://build.nvidia.com). 2. Sign in or create an account. 3. Click your profile icon in the top right. 4. Select **API Keys**. 5. Click **Generate API Key**. 6. Copy the key. It starts with `nvapi-`. Keep this key ready for the next step. ## Launch NemoClaw from Brev Use the [NemoClaw Brev launchable](https://brev.nvidia.com/launchable/deploy/now?launchableID=env-3Azt0aYgVNFEuz7opyx3gscmowS) to launch a NemoClaw sandbox from your browser. 1. Open the [NemoClaw Brev launchable](https://brev.nvidia.com/launchable/deploy/now?launchableID=env-3Azt0aYgVNFEuz7opyx3gscmowS) and sign in if prompted. 2. Review the instance type, cloud provider, and estimated hourly cost on the NemoClaw setup page. 3. Click **Deploy NemoClaw**. The right-side deployment panel shows progress while Brev deploys the CPU instance and prepares VM mode. Keep this page open until the deployment completes. When the panel shows the **NemoClaw** button, click it to open the agent setup page. ## Configure Your Agent The setup page walks you through three stages: **Configure**, **Setup**, and **Launch**. ### Configure The Configure stage opens the **Connect to AI** screen. Use the NVIDIA Cloud provider shown on this screen. 1. Leave **NVIDIA Cloud** selected. 2. Paste your `nvapi-` API key. 3. Click **Create Agent**. **Note:** The **Show Other Providers** dropdown appears below the **NVIDIA Cloud** card and can be easy to miss. Click it to expand the provider list. The expanded list includes **OpenAI**, **Anthropic**, and **Google Gemini**. For these providers, get the API key from the provider's own console before you create the agent. ### Setup NemoClaw configures the remote host and sandbox automatically. This stage usually takes about 5 minutes. During setup, NemoClaw installs the runtime, prepares the sandboxed agent environment, and configures inference routing for the provider you selected. ### Launch When setup finishes, Brev shows the following confirmation: ```text AGENT CREATED SUCCESSFULLY Your agent is running in a secure sandbox and ready to use. Agent: agent Model: nemotron-3-super-120b Provider: NVIDIA Cloud ``` Click **Chat With Agent** to open the OpenClaw dashboard. **Note:** The dashboard might initially show a **Pairing required** warning. This means the gateway is still completing pairing in the background. Wait for about a few minutes for pairing to finish automatically. Refresh the dashboard to see if the warning is resolved and the connection is established. If pairing does not finish, go to the **Overview** page in the OpenClaw UI, find the **Gateway Access** panel, and click **Connect**. ## Start a Chat Use the dashboard chat box to send your first message: ```text Hello! What can you do for me? What skills do you have available? ``` The agent reads its workspace files and introduces itself. The starter workspace includes example skills such as: - **Weather** gets current weather and forecasts. - **Healthcheck** runs security audit and hardening checks. - **Skill-Creator** creates new custom skills. ## Personalize Agent Memory The agent starts with an empty `USER.md` file. Ask the agent to add details that help it personalize future responses. In the chat, type the following: ```text Please update my USER.md file with the following: Name: [your name] Timezone: [your timezone, such as "America/New_York"] Notes: [what you are working on] ``` The agent writes this information to its workspace so it can use it across sessions on the same sandbox. ## Stop Your Instance When Done Brev continues billing while the instance runs. Stop the instance when you finish experimenting. 1. Go back to [brev.nvidia.com](https://brev.nvidia.com). 2. Click **GPUs** in the nav bar. 3. Find your NemoClaw instance. 4. Click **Stop**. Check the Brev UI for the current hourly price before leaving the instance running. ## Next Steps After your agent is running, explore these related tasks: - Set Up Messaging Channels (use the `nemoclaw-user-manage-sandboxes` skill) to learn how to connect Telegram, Slack, or Discord. - Switch Inference Providers (use the `nemoclaw-user-configure-inference` skill) to learn how to change the model provider after setup. - Monitor Sandbox Activity (use the `nemoclaw-user-monitor-sandbox` skill) to learn how to inspect sandbox health and logs. - [Deploy to a Remote GPU Instance](../SKILL.md) to learn how to deploy NemoClaw to a remote GPU instance using the CLI. - Troubleshooting (use the `nemoclaw-user-reference` skill) to learn how to fix common setup and runtime issues.
