OpenClaw + GitHub = Your Own AI Developer

I had OpenClaw read through my PraisonAI repo, suggest a feature, implement it, and open a pull request — all from a chat window. No IDE, no manual git commands, no copy-pasting code between tools. Just a conversation with my repo. https://kilo.ai/kiloclaw OpenClaw on its own is powerful, but it can't do much until you connect it to where your code actually lives. For most of us, that's GitHub. Once the two are wired up, OpenClaw can read your repo, understand the structure, suggest improvements, write the code, push a branch, and open a pull request for you to review and merge. You stay in control — nothing goes to main without your approval — but all the repetitive work in between disappears. In this video I walk through the full setup end-to-end so you can do the same on your own repo. Three simple steps: set up OpenClaw, configure GitHub, then connect them together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STEP 1 — SET UP OPENCLAW WITH KILOCLAW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Self-hosting OpenClaw on your own server means dealing with 24/7 uptime, networking, and config files. KiloClaw removes all of that — it's a managed OpenClaw you can provision in a few minutes. • Sign up at Kilo.ai and open the dashboard • Click Get Started and give your bot an identity (I named mine "Praisen Claw") • Allow the default permissions and continue • Connect a channel — Telegram, Slack, or email. For Telegram, generate a bot token from BotFather and paste it in • Provision your instance Once it's live, click the chat icon to open your OpenClaw interface and send a test message to confirm it's working. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STEP 2 — CONFIGURE GITHUB (GENERATE A PAT) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OpenClaw needs a personal access token to act on your behalf. We're using a fine-grained token so you can scope it to exactly one repo and exactly the permissions it needs. • Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Fine-grained tokens
