Quickstart

Get Clawzempic running in under two minutes.

Step 1: Run the CLI

bash

npx clawzempic

The interactive setup will:

Ask for your name or bot name
Ask for your LLM provider API key (OpenRouter sk-or- or Anthropic sk-ant-)
Ask for your email (for dashboard access and spend alerts)
Optionally accept a promo code
Create your account and store your provider key securely
Detect your framework (OpenClaw, Nanobot, Python, LangChain, Node.js)
Configure your environment
Test the connection

After setup, you'll see your model cascade — the 4-tier routing mix that determines which model handles each complexity level.

Step 2: Verify

bash

npx clawzempic test

This sends a single request through the proxy and confirms your connection is working.

Step 3: Check your savings

bash

npx clawzempic savings 7d

After some traffic has flowed, this shows your savings breakdown by optimization layer.

Already have a key?

If you received an API key from someone else:

bash

npx clawzempic --key sk-clwz-your-key-here

Non-interactive setup

For CI/CD or scripted installs:

bash

npx clawzempic init \
  --key sk-clwz-your-key \
  --email [email protected] \
  --yes \
  --no-test

💡

The --yes flag skips all confirmation prompts. --no-test skips the connection test. Useful for automated deployments.

What happens next

Your LLM requests now flow through Clawzempic's optimization pipeline. Visit your dashboard to see real-time savings, model distribution, and memory stats.

⚠

Make sure your application is configured to use the Clawzempic base URL. The CLI auto-configures this for supported frameworks, but check your .env or SDK config if you're using a custom setup.
