Getting Started with GoClaw

GoClaw is the enterprise AI agent platform built in Go. This tutorial walks you through deploying your first agent.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.21 or later
• PostgreSQL 14+
• Docker (optional but recommended)

Installation

Clone the repository and build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw.git

Starting the Server

./goclaw serve

GoClaw starts in under 1 second and listens on port 8080.

Creating Your First Agent

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/agents \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-agent", "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet"}'
