Run OpenClaw 2.0 - 100% FREE & UNLIMITED (Omniroute) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00OpenClaw 2.0 just dropped, and you can
- 0:02now run it completely for free with over
- 0:05500 of the best AI models on the planet.
- 0:08That is possible through a tool called
- 0:11OmniRouter, which lets you connect
- 0:13OpenClaw to models like GPT-5.6,
- 0:16DeepSeek, Gemini, and even some of
- 0:18Anthropic's top models like Opus 5 and
- 0:21Sonnet without paying a single cent.
- 0:24Plus, at the end, I'm going to put it to
- 0:26the test by creating workflows that
- 0:28automate all of my research and handle
- 0:31all of my daily tasks. So, close all of
- 0:33your other tabs, and let's dive right
- 0:35into it. But, before I show you how you
- 0:37can set this up, let's talk a little bit
- 0:39about what is OpenClaw 2.0. Well,
- 0:42OpenClaw is one of the most popular AI
- 0:44agents on the planet with 120,000
- 0:48GitHub stars. And it's an autonomous
- 0:50agent that allows you to perform and
- 0:53automate any task that you want and make
- 0:55it run on schedule. And the good thing
- 0:57with it is that you can run it with any
- 1:00AI model that you select. Usually, you
- 1:02have to pay for the usage of the AI
- 1:04model that you're using through that
- 1:06company's API. But, with the method that
- 1:08I'm going to show you in this video,
- 1:10which is by using this service called
- 1:12OmniRouter, you will be able to access a
- 1:15bunch of different free providers like
- 1:18OpenCode, OpenRouter, Nvidia, which will
- 1:21give you access to powerful models like
- 1:23Opus 5, GPT-5.6, DeepSeek V4, and many
- 1:27more, which if you then take and connect
- 1:30over to OpenClaw, you will basically be
- 1:32able to use it completely for free. So,
- 1:34now that you understand how this works,
- 1:36let me show you how you can set it up.
- 1:38Now, the first thing that you have to do
- 1:40is to go over to openclaw.ai, which is
- 1:42the official website from which you can
- 1:44install OpenClaw in your PC. And I will
- 1:47also leave a link for it in the
- 1:48description below. And then, all you
- 1:49need to do is to come down here to the
- 1:51quick start page where you can either
- 1:53select to download the OpenClaw app or
- 1:56to install it in your terminal. Now, if
- 1:58I'm going to be honest, I tried
- 1:59installing the app, but I got a lot of
- 2:01errors with it. So, I would actually
- 2:03advise you to install it in your
- 2:05terminal by simply coming over here,
- 2:07selecting your operating system, for me
- 2:09it's macOS, simply copying the command,
- 2:12then you need to open up a terminal. It
- 2:14can either be inside an IDE like under
- 2:16gravity or cursor, or it can even be
- 2:18natively inside your PC. I personally
- 2:20prefer to use an IDE, and then you
- 2:22simply need to paste it in and click on
- 2:24enter. And what this is going to do is
- 2:26start installing Open Claw in your
- 2:28machine, which as you can see it just
- 2:29finished installing, and it also spinned
- 2:32up a local host. So, we're actually able
- 2:34to access it. But just so you know, if
- 2:36you close down your PC, this local host
- 2:38will end. So, to spin it up again, all
- 2:41you would need to do is to simply type
- 2:43in the word Open Claw, click on enter,
- 2:45and then this would basically spin up
- 2:47Open Claw again in your machine. But
- 2:49since it is already up, all we have to
- 2:50do is to simply come over here to this
- 2:52local host and simply click on it, which
- 2:54is going to open up Open Claw in our
- 2:56machine. Now, this is the interface from
- 2:58which we can use Open Claw, and as you
- 3:00can see it's just a simple chat
- 3:02interface just like ChatGPT in cloud.
- 3:04And at the bottom of this interface over
- 3:06here, we can see all the models that we
- 3:09can access from Open Claw. And as you
- 3:11can see, this is already preconfigured
- 3:14to run with my OpenAI usage since when
- 3:17you're installing it, Open Claw asked
- 3:18you whether you allow it access to
- 3:20basically take a look at the PC and see
- 3:22if you have any active connections that
- 3:24it can then use when it starts working.
- 3:27But the problem with this is that this
- 3:28is obviously paid usage from a ChatGPT
- 3:31subscription. Now, to make Open Claw run
- 3:33completely for free, we need to use the
- 3:35service that talked about before, which
- 3:37is called Omni route. And as you can
- 3:39see, Omni route is a very popular GitHub
- 3:42repo that has over 60,000 stars. Now, to
- 3:45install Omni route to Open Claw, so you
- 3:47can access all the different models that
- 3:49I talked about completely for free, all
- 3:51you have to do is to simply copy the URL
- 3:54of the GitHub repo, which I will also
- 3:55leave a link for in the description
- 3:57below, and then come back over to Open
- 3:59Clo, paste it in over here, and say
- 4:01something like, "Hey, what I want you to
- 4:03do is to install OmniOut and spin up a
- 4:05local host so I can log in to it and
- 4:08connect all of the different third-party
- 4:11model providers that I want." Or
- 4:13something like that, basically telling
- 4:15it to install OmniOut and spin it up in
- 4:17a local host, and then send over this
- 4:19prompt. So, Open Clo can install
- 4:21OmniOut. And as you can see, that's
- 4:22exactly what Open Clo is doing. It is
- 4:24first inspecting the OmniOut repo that
- 4:27we gave it access to, and now it is
- 4:29installing it locally in our workspace,
- 4:31which it just finished doing, and it
- 4:33also spun it up in this local host.
- 4:35Which now means that if we actually come
- 4:37back here and we open it up, we're going
- 4:39to see the OmniOut interface. Where the
- 4:41first thing that we have to do is to log
- 4:43in into an account. Now, you might say,
- 4:44"Well, Damian, I don't have an account."
- 4:46Well, you don't actually need one, since
- 4:48all you need to do is to input the
- 4:50password that is called change me, which
- 4:52is the default password that is given to
- 4:55you underneath the actual password box.
- 4:58So, make sure you simply come back here
- 4:59and you copy it, then you paste it in
- 5:01over here, and you click on continue.
- 5:03And if this gives you an error, you
- 5:05probably copied a space character, so
- 5:07make sure you just copy the text change
- 5:09me underneath, and you should be able to
- 5:11log in successfully. And once you do so,
- 5:13then you will be brought over in the
- 5:15home page of OmniOut. Now, for you to be
- 5:17able to use all these different AI tools
- 5:20completely for free, as I mentioned
- 5:21before, you need to move over in the
- 5:23connect providers page. So, simply come
- 5:26back here and click on providers, and
- 5:27then this is going to bring you in this
- 5:29interface over here, where you will be
- 5:31able to see all the different
- 5:33third-party providers OmniOut allows you
- 5:35to connect to. Now, as you can see,
- 5:37these providers are separated by
- 5:38different sections. First, we have the
- 5:40off sections, then we have the IDE, and
- 5:43then after that, we also have the the
- 5:45tier providers, which if I actually
- 5:47select, this is going to give me all the
- 5:49different providers that offer free
- 5:51models. Which all I have to do to
- 5:53connect to them is either authenticate
- 5:55with my account or create an API key
- 5:57from their platforms. So, feel free to
- 5:59navigate through all these providers and
- 6:01see if there are some that you want to
- 6:03connect to. But since this is a video
- 6:05where I guide you through everything
- 6:06step-by-step, I will actually show you
- 6:08all the providers I would personally
- 6:10advise you to connect to that give you
- 6:12access to the best and most powerful
- 6:14models. Now, the first provider that I
- 6:15want you to connect to is OpenRouter,
- 6:18which we can find if we scroll down
- 6:20here. Now, to connect to OpenRouter, all
- 6:22we have to do is to simply come over
- 6:23here and click on add connection. Then
- 6:25for the name, we can name this exactly
- 6:28as we want. I'm going to say OpenRouter,
- 6:30and then all we need to do is to simply
- 6:32give it access to our OpenRouter API
- 6:35key. Which to create, we simply have to
- 6:37go over to openrouter.ai,
- 6:39create a free account, and then click on
- 6:41get API key, which is going to bring us
- 6:43over in the API key space, where we will
- 6:45then be able to come over here, create
- 6:47an API key. I'm going to call mine one
- 6:50Damian. And then once we create our API
- 6:52key, we simply have to copy it, come
- 6:54back over to OmniOut, paste it in over
- 6:55here. We can also click on the check
- 6:57button to test and see if this is
- 6:59actually valid, which as you can see it
- 7:00is. And then OpenRouter gives us the
- 7:03option to import only the free models
- 7:06that they are offering. Which if you
- 7:07want to use OpenRouter completely for
- 7:09free, I would actually advise you to
- 7:11turn on, and then you can simply click
- 7:13on save. And what this is going to do is
- 7:15fetch all the 21 models that OpenRouter
- 7:18is offering completely for free, that
- 7:20you will then be able to take a look at
- 7:21over here. And as you can see, this
- 7:23includes some very powerful models, like
- 7:25GLM 5.2. Where to see if they are
- 7:27actually working correctly, OmniOut
- 7:29gives you the option to test them out by
- 7:32simply clicking on the play button,
- 7:33which sends a request over to that model
- 7:35and see if it actually works. And if one
- 7:37of these models doesn't work, let me run
- 7:39a bunch of them for example, some of
- 7:41them are going to give us these error
- 7:43over here, which means that that model,
- 7:45for some reason, is not currently
- 7:47working. So, we know exactly what models
- 7:49are working and what models are in. So,
- 7:51now that we finished with OpenRouter,
- 7:53let me show you another very good
- 7:55connector that I think everyone should
- 7:58connect to, which is, of course,
- 7:59Invideo, because Invideo basically gives
- 8:02us access to all the most powerful
- 8:04Chinese models completely for free. And
- 8:06again, to connect to it, all we have to
- 8:08do is simply click on add connection,
- 8:09and then we simply need to give it
- 8:11access to our Invideo API key. Which to
- 8:13find, we have to go over to
- 8:15build.invideo.com,
- 8:16that I will also leave a link for in the
- 8:18description below. And then, all we need
- 8:20to do is to simply click on our profile
- 8:22and click on API keys, which is going to
- 8:24open up this interface over here, where
- 8:26we can simply generate our API key. And
- 8:29once we do that, we simply have to copy
- 8:31it, come back over to OmniRouter, paste
- 8:33it in, we can also check it and see if
- 8:35it works. And then, we again have the
- 8:37option to import only the free models,
- 8:39which you can turn on if you want, and
- 8:41click on save. And what this is going to
- 8:42do is import all the free models that
- 8:44Invideo gives us access to, which
- 8:46includes some very powerful models like
- 8:49GLM 5.2, MiniMax M3, and even Chimera
- 8:532.6. And now that we also have connected
- 8:56Invideo, which basically gives us access
- 8:58to all the most powerful Chinese models,
- 9:00it's time to show you two connectors
- 9:02that give you access to the most
- 9:03powerful Anthropic and OpenAI models
- 9:06completely for free. Now, the first one
- 9:08of these two connectors is called A Gen
- 9:10Router, which is a Chinese API provider
- 9:14similar to OpenRouter, that you can find
- 9:17by scrolling down here to the aggregator
- 9:19gateways. And then, all you have to do
- 9:20is to simply click on it, then click on
- 9:22add connection, and again, we need our A
- 9:24Gen Router API key. Now, I have made a
- 9:26full video on A Gen Router and how you
- 9:29can actually use it, which I will link
- 9:31somewhere over here. But, the TLDR of it
- 9:34is you go over to agenrouter.org, then
- 9:36you create an account, and then all you
- 9:38have to do is simply come over here and
- 9:39click on get key, which is going to
- 9:41bring you over in this interface over
- 9:43here, where once you sign up for an
- 9:45account, edgenrouter automatically gives
- 9:47you $175
- 9:50worth of free credits. Now, I personally
- 9:51have more because I have added some
- 9:53extra, but you are going to see $175
- 9:57over here, and then you simply need to
- 9:59create your own API key, which you can
- 10:01do by going over in the API key section,
- 10:04and then clicking on create token. Then
- 10:06for the name, you can name this however
- 10:07you want, and for the quota, make sure
- 10:09you do unlimited, and click on submit,
- 10:11which is going to generate you your
- 10:13edgenrouter API key that you will then
- 10:15be able to copy, come back over to Omni
- 10:17route, paste it in over here. You can
- 10:19also click on check to validate the
- 10:21connection. As you can see, it is valid,
- 10:23but then make sure you don't click on
- 10:24import only free models because
- 10:27edgenrouter doesn't have free models.
- 10:29They just give you $175 worth of
- 10:31credits, and then click on save, which
- 10:33is going to import all the available
- 10:35models that edgenrouter has that are
- 10:38super powerful and premium models like
- 10:40Opus 4.8, Opus 5, Deep Seek V4 Flash,
- 10:44GLM 5.3, and even GPT 5.6 all. And now
- 10:48we have also connected edgenrouter, it's
- 10:50time for the last connector that gives
- 10:52you access to premium Anthropic models
- 10:54like Opus 5 and Sonnet 5, which is the
- 10:58Kiro AI connector that you will be able
- 11:00to find under the auth providers. So,
- 11:03simply click on it, click on add
- 11:04connection, and then you will simply
- 11:06need to select how you want to connect
- 11:07to. I will personally choose my AWS
- 11:10account. And if you want anything, Kiro
- 11:12is basically the AI coding agent that
- 11:14Amazon has, which has a very generous
- 11:16free tier that gives you access to all
- 11:18of these models. So, simply come over
- 11:20here and click on continue and confirm.
- 11:22Then allow Kiro access to your account
- 11:24data, and boom, as you can see, the
- 11:26request was approved, and now we have
- 11:28also successfully connected Kiro AI,
- 11:30which includes powerful models like
- 11:32Sonnet 5, GPT 5.6 all, and Gwen 3. And
- 11:36the good part with Guido is that they
- 11:38basically give you $20 worth of free
- 11:40credits, so you can use all of these
- 11:42models. And now we're basically done
- 11:44with all my recommended connections.
- 11:46Obviously, if you want, you can connect
- 11:48any of these other third-party
- 11:49providers. Also, under Gravity is a very
- 11:51good one, since they also give you free
- 11:53usage on many Gemini and Anthropic
- 11:56models. But, specifically with the off
- 11:58providers, I would actually advise you
- 12:00to be a bit careful. If you use them a
- 12:02lot, you could potentially end up
- 12:04getting your account banned with our
- 12:06service. But again, that's only for the
- 12:08off providers. Any other connector that
- 12:10I showed you that happens through an API
- 12:12literally has zero risk to you, and you
- 12:15can use it as much as you want. I just
- 12:17did want to point that out, just so you
- 12:18guys are informed about the risk when it
- 12:20comes to connecting an off provider. But
- 12:23once you're done connecting all the
- 12:25providers that you want, then you could
- 12:27simply come back over to OpenClaw and
- 12:29say something like, "Hey, I've finished
- 12:31connecting all my providers over to Omni
- 12:33Route. Now I want you to connect Omni
- 12:35Route to OpenClaw, so I can actually use
- 12:37it and use all the different third-party
- 12:39providers that I have connected there
- 12:41inside OpenClaw." And then, all you need
- 12:44to do is to simply send over this
- 12:45prompt, so OpenClaw can go and do that
- 12:47configuration for you. What it's
- 12:49basically going to do is it is going to
- 12:51connect the connection to your Omni
- 12:52Route account, where it will then be
- 12:54able to draw the usage from all the
- 12:56third-party AI providers that you have
- 12:58connected over there, which as you can
- 13:00see, OpenClaw has just finished doing.
- 13:02And now I'm actually able to come over
- 13:04here and use any of the models that I
- 13:07connected over to Omni Route. And if I
- 13:09want to use a model from a specific
- 13:11provider, let's say Open Router for
- 13:14example, I can search for Open Router,
- 13:16and then this is going to return me all
- 13:18the Open Router models. Where if I
- 13:20select one of them, which I imported,
- 13:22let's take Minimax for example, and I
- 13:24say something like, "Hello," I'm going
- 13:26to get a response back in 5 seconds."
- 13:28Which means that our connection is
- 13:30working exactly as we wanted. But, the
- 13:32fact that we have to manually come over
- 13:34here and select each one of the models
- 13:36that we imported isn't ideal. Since if
- 13:38the usage from one finishes, then we
- 13:41would need to manually go over and
- 13:43switch. But, Omni route has already
- 13:45thought of this and that's why they have
- 13:47created the combos, which you can access
- 13:49by coming over here in the combo section
- 13:51and either selecting one of the already
- 13:53pre-existing templates that they have,
- 13:55which are combos that specialize on
- 13:57different things. For example, this
- 14:00combo picks the best available model
- 14:02that you have for coding. And if that
- 14:04one isn't available or its usage has
- 14:06finished, then it moves over to the
- 14:08second best and to the third best, etc.,
- 14:10etc. Up until all the models that you
- 14:12have don't work for some reason, which
- 14:14basically never happens. And they also
- 14:16have a lot more combos like best for
- 14:19reasoning, best for vision, and they
- 14:21also have the combo that is called base
- 14:24free, which basically picks the best
- 14:26free model available. And the good thing
- 14:28with this is that these combos come
- 14:30already pre-configured with Omni route.
- 14:33But, if you want, you can also create
- 14:34your own custom combo by coming over
- 14:36here and clicking on create your first
- 14:38combo. Then, you can select what type of
- 14:40models you want to use. I will
- 14:42personally select the free stack and
- 14:44then you can give a name to your combo.
- 14:45I'm going to call my one Damian and then
- 14:48click on next. And then, you can
- 14:49literally come over here and manually
- 14:51add in the specific provider that you
- 14:53want and then the specific model that
- 14:55you want from that provider. So, if I
- 14:57add this, you will see that this will
- 14:59now get added in my combo. And then, I
- 15:02can come over here, select a different
- 15:04provider, select a different model, and
- 15:06add it in as the next step. And I can
- 15:08keep doing that with all the models that
- 15:10I have already connected over in Omni
- 15:12route. And once I'm done adding the
- 15:14models and I also sort them out with a
- 15:16specific order that I want, I can simply
- 15:18click on next, select the strategy that
- 15:20I want to use, which for most of you is
- 15:22going to be the priority strategy, and
- 15:25click on next again, and then we can
- 15:27just review the combo that we created,
- 15:29and then click on create combo, which is
- 15:31going to create us our brand new combo
- 15:33that we can see over here. And now, to
- 15:35make this combo available in our open
- 15:37router, we simply have to come over here
- 15:39and say, "Hey, I created a brand new
- 15:41combo in my Omni route. Make sure you
- 15:42import it as a model option over in Open
- 15:45Clo." And simply send over this prompt,
- 15:48which, as you can see, just did. And
- 15:50now, if I actually come over here and
- 15:51search for the combo called Damian, I
- 15:53will be able to find it and actually use
- 15:55it. So, for example, if I come over here
- 15:57and say, "Hello." I'm going to get the
- 15:59response, "Hey, what's up?" which means
- 16:01that our combo is working correctly, and
- 16:03Open Clo is able to use the models that
- 16:05that combo has. And now, just to show
- 16:07you the capabilities of this, let's say
- 16:09that I wanted to do research on my
- 16:11competitors for my AI file organization
- 16:14app that's called File Egg, and then
- 16:16take that research and turn it into a
- 16:18presentation that I can then show to my
- 16:20team. Well, all I would have to do that
- 16:22is to simply make sure I have my combo
- 16:24selected over here, and then come over
- 16:26here and say, "Hey, what I want to do is
- 16:28do some research to the competitors of
- 16:31my AI file organization app that is
- 16:33called File Egg, and I want you to
- 16:35gather information about the prices,
- 16:37about the moves that they are doing,
- 16:38about any new features that they might
- 16:41have added, and then I want you to take
- 16:42that information, compile it, and turn
- 16:44it into a seven or eight slide
- 16:47presentation that I will then be able to
- 16:50take and present to my team. And now
- 16:51that I described that, all I have to do
- 16:53is to simply send over this prompt and
- 16:55let Open Clo start running, do the
- 16:58research for me using the Damian combo
- 17:00that I just created, and create me the
- 17:01presentation that I wanted. Now, I'm not
- 17:03going to bore you with a waiting time. I
- 17:05will just simply let this run in the
- 17:06background for a bit, and I will be back
- 17:08with you once it is done or if we face
- 17:10any errors. And boom, as you can see,
- 17:12Open Clo has finished gathering all the
- 17:14necessary information, and it turned it
- 17:16into this presentation over here, which
- 17:18if I actually open, I will be able to
- 17:20see what it managed to generate. As you
- 17:22can see, here we have some information
- 17:24about the ecosystem, then we have some
- 17:26information about the pricing of our
- 17:28competitors, and then some extra
- 17:30information about the features that my
- 17:32competitors have. Then, we have this
- 17:34very nice graph over here that shows the
- 17:36scale of my competition along with what
- 17:39I need to avoid and what openings that
- 17:41currently are on the market, which I can
- 17:42take advantage of and start getting some
- 17:44users. Which, overall, I have to say is
- 17:47a pretty decent presentation that I can
- 17:49now take and present to my team. And the
- 17:51best part is that we managed to generate
- 17:53it completely for free using model
- 17:55providers that we have connected over to
- 17:57our Omni router account. Now, if you
