Question 1

What is DeployAgents?

Accepted Answer

DeployAgents is a managed hosting platform for OpenClaw and Hermes AI agents. We handle all the server setup, installation, updates, and maintenance — you just connect your channels and start chatting with your AI agent. Your agent is live in under 5 minutes.

Question 2

What is OpenClaw and what can it do?

Accepted Answer

OpenClaw is one of the most popular open-source AI agent frameworks, built with Node.js. Your OpenClaw agent can browse the web, manage your email and calendar, write and execute code, generate images, remember your conversations across sessions, control your files and documents, and connect to 15+ messaging channels including Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, and Slack.

Question 3

What is Hermes Agent?

Accepted Answer

Hermes is a Python-based open-source AI agent optimized for developer workflows, automation, and data processing tasks. It excels at running scripts, managing APIs, processing files, and building complex automated pipelines. Both Hermes and OpenClaw are available on all DeployAgents plans.

Question 4

Do I need technical knowledge to use DeployAgents?

Accepted Answer

No. DeployAgents is designed for everyone — from solo founders to enterprise teams. You sign up, pick OpenClaw or Hermes, and your agent is fully configured and running in under 5 minutes. No terminal, no Docker, no YAML files, no wasted weekends.

Question 5

How long does it take to deploy my AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Under 5 minutes from signup to first message. DeployAgents automatically provisions a dedicated VPS, installs the agent software, configures SSL, sets up monitoring, and gets everything running. You don't wait, and you don't touch a single config file.

Question 6

How much does DeployAgents cost?

Accepted Answer

DeployAgents has three plans: Starter at $14/month (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe SSD), Professional at $27/month (6 vCPU, 12GB RAM, 100GB NVMe SSD), and Agency at $55/month (8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 200GB NVMe SSD). All plans include unlimited messages, BYOK support, and 99.9% uptime SLA.

Question 7

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Visit deployagents.co to check current trial and promotional offers. We regularly run limited-time promotions for new users.

Question 8

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no contracts or lock-in periods. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. Your agent will remain active until the end of your current billing period.

Question 9

What does 'unlimited messages' mean?

Accepted Answer

There is no per-message or per-token charge from DeployAgents. You pay your flat monthly plan fee and can send as many messages to your agent as you like. You only pay for the AI model API calls separately through your own API key (BYOK).

Question 10

Are there hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. The plan price is all you pay DeployAgents. The only additional cost is your own AI model API usage (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) which you pay directly to those providers via your own API key.

Question 11

What messaging channels are supported?

Accepted Answer

DeployAgents supports 15+ channels: Telegram, WhatsApp (personal & business), Discord, Slack, Signal, Microsoft Teams, SMS/MMS (via Twilio), Email (IMAP/SMTP), Google Chat, IRC, Matrix, LINE, WeChat (WeCom), Mattermost, and Twitch. New channels are added regularly.

Question 12

How do I connect Telegram to my agent?

Accepted Answer

Create a Telegram bot via BotFather, copy the bot token, and paste it into your DeployAgents dashboard under Channels → Telegram. Your agent is connected and responding in under 60 seconds. Full support for buttons, inline keyboards, file sharing, and voice messages.

Question 13

Does WhatsApp support work without a business account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DeployAgents connects to both personal WhatsApp accounts (via QR code pairing using the Baileys library) and WhatsApp Business accounts. You can link your personal WhatsApp number directly — no business account or Meta approval required.

Question 14

Can I connect multiple channels to one agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can connect as many channels as you want to a single agent instance. Your agent maintains a unified memory and personality across all channels — it knows it's the same agent whether it's talking to you on Telegram or responding to a Discord message.

Question 15

Which AI models does DeployAgents support?

Accepted Answer

DeployAgents supports all major providers via BYOK: OpenAI (gpt-4o, gpt-5.4), Anthropic (claude-sonnet-4-5, claude-opus), Google (gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-3.1-pro-preview), Groq (llama-4-scout, llama-4-maverick), Mistral, xAI Grok, Qwen, and any model available via OpenRouter.

Question 16

What is BYOK (Bring Your Own API Key)?

Accepted Answer

BYOK means you connect your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other provider directly to your agent. DeployAgents never marks up API costs — you pay the model provider directly at their standard rates. This gives you full control over which model you use and how much you spend on AI.

Question 17

Can I switch AI models without losing my agent's memory?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can switch your agent's underlying AI model at any time from the dashboard. Your agent's memory, personality, and all previous conversations are stored separately and remain intact regardless of which model you choose.

Question 18

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every DeployAgents agent runs on a dedicated private VPS — your instance is never shared with other users. All data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3. DeployAgents is fully GDPR compliant.

Question 19

Does DeployAgents use my conversations to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

Never. Your conversations, memory, and agent configurations are private and are never used to train AI models — by DeployAgents or anyone else. Your data belongs entirely to you.

Question 20

Where are servers located?

Accepted Answer

DeployAgents provisions VPS servers in multiple regions. You can request a specific region (EU, US, Asia) to ensure data residency compliance for your use case.

Question 21

Can I export or delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can export all your agent data (conversations, memory, configurations) and request complete deletion at any time from your dashboard or by contacting support. Data deletion requests are processed within 30 days per GDPR requirements.

Question 22

What VPS specs do I get?

Accepted Answer

Starter: 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe SSD. Professional: 6 vCPU, 12GB RAM, 100GB NVMe SSD. Agency: 8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 200GB NVMe SSD. All plans include dedicated IP, full root access available on request, and 99.9% uptime SLA.

Question 23

Can I run multiple agents on one account?

Accepted Answer

Each DeployAgents plan includes one dedicated agent instance. For multiple agents (e.g. for different clients or use cases), you can have multiple active subscriptions. Agency plan users get priority support for multi-instance setups.

Question 24

Does my agent run 24/7?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your agent runs continuously on a dedicated VPS with 99.9% uptime SLA. DeployAgents monitors all instances automatically and restarts them if needed. You don't need to keep your computer on or manage anything.

Question 25

Can I access my agent's server directly?

Accepted Answer

SSH access is available on request for Professional and Agency plan users. For most users this is not needed — the DeployAgents dashboard gives you full control over your agent's settings, memory, and channels without needing server access.
