We don't consider setup complete until you're confidently using your AI assistant. If something isn't working right during your first 30 days, we'll stay with you until it does - at no additional charge.
Every Mac Mini is fully tested before shipping. We verify remote access, test core functions, and ensure everything works exactly as documented.
After 30 days, continue with monthly support ($100/month) or pay-as-you-go assistance ($150/hour). Unused 30-day support earns you one free future session (valid 1 year).
Your AvestAI setup fee covers hardware and configuration. Your AI assistant also requires API access to language models (the "brain" behind the responses). You have two options:

A: We strongly recommend API keys. Here's why:
Monthly subscriptions (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro) were designed for direct human use and may impose limits, ban automation, or throttle usage. Some providers are becoming more flexible, but API keys remain the safer choice.
A: Typical usage ranges:
During setup, we'll help you set usage alerts and budgets so you're never surprised.
A: Yes! OpenClaw supports multiple providers. We recommend Anthropic Claude for its balance of quality, reliability, and cost - but you can switch anytime or use different models for different tasks.
A: Three reasons:
That said, OpenClaw works great with OpenAI GPT-4, Google Gemini, and others. We'll discuss your needs during setup.
