Launch Assets

Title Options (60-70 chars max)

Pick the strongest angle:

  1. OpenClaw Command Center — straightforward
  2. Command Center for AI Agents — benefit-first
  3. Mission Control for Your AI Agents — the tagline approach
Tagline Options (120 chars max)

  3. Mission control for OpenClaw agents. Watch sessions, track costs, monitor health. No React, no build step.
Description (for the launch page)
Your AI agents run 24/7. You need to know what they're doing.

Command Center gives you real-time visibility into your OpenClaw deployment:

📊 Session Monitoring — See all active AI sessions at a glance
⛽ LLM Fuel Gauges — Token usage, costs, quota remaining
💻 System Vitals — CPU, memory, disk, temperature
⏰ Cron Jobs — View and manage scheduled tasks
🧠 Cerebro Topics — Automatic conversation organization

**Why Command Center?**

⚡ FAST — Single API call for all data, 2-second updates via SSE
🪶 LIGHTWEIGHT — ~200KB total, zero dependencies, no build step
🔒 SECURE — Runs 100% locally, no telemetry, no external calls
📱 RESPONSIVE — Works on desktop and mobile, dark mode default

Open source (MIT). Works with any OpenClaw workspace.
Maker's Comment (First Comment)
Hey everyone! 👋

I built Command Center because I was running multiple AI agents across different Slack workspaces and had no idea what they were doing.

How many tokens did I burn today? Is the agent actually responding? Did that cron job run?

Command Center answers all those questions at a glance. It's intentionally lightweight — vanilla JS, no build step, ~200KB total. Just `node lib/server.js` and you're live.

A few things I'm proud of:
- Single unified API endpoint (not 16+ separate calls)
- Real-time SSE streaming (no polling)
- Privacy controls for demos/screenshots
- Works on mobile for checking while AFK

This is part of the OpenClaw ecosystem — open source AI agent framework. If you're running AI agents and need visibility, this is for you.

Happy to answer any questions! 🦞

Excited to share what I've been building 🎉

If you're running AI agents (via OpenClaw or similar), you know the challenge: What are they doing? How much are they costing? Are they even responding?

Command Center solves this — real-time dashboard for monitoring your AI agents.

✅ Session monitoring
✅ Cost tracking (LLM fuel gauges)
✅ System health
✅ Scheduled tasks
✅ Privacy controls for demos

Open source (MIT), zero dependencies, runs locally.

We just launched on Product Hunt — would love your support!

📝 FAQ Prep

Q: How is this different from other monitoring tools? A: Most monitoring tools are generic (Grafana, Datadog). Command Center is purpose-built for AI agents — it understands sessions, tokens, costs, and scheduled agent tasks. Plus it's ~200KB with zero dependencies.

Q: Does it work with other AI frameworks (not just OpenClaw)? A: Currently optimized for OpenClaw. The architecture is modular — adapters for other frameworks are possible. Open to PRs!

Q: Is there a hosted version? A: No, it's self-hosted only. This is intentional — your AI agent data stays on your machine.

Q: What about multi-agent orchestration? A: Coming soon! Current focus is visibility. Agent-to-agent coordination is on the roadmap.

Q: Cost? A: Free and open source (MIT license). No premium tier, no gotchas.
