1. Choose a runtime
Start by choosing OpenClaw or Hermes. Use OpenClaw when you need OpenClaw compatibility or an existing OpenClaw setup. Use Hermes when you want Qoren's native configuration and operations workflow.
Public docs
These public docs summarize how Qoren is used to deploy OpenClaw and Hermes agents, configure secrets and model access, monitor usage, and decide whether managed hosting is the right fit.
Direct answer
Qoren deploys and runs OpenClaw and Hermes agents in managed cloud environments, so users can keep agents online without managing Docker, VPS setup, updates, or ongoing infrastructure.
| Area | Decision to make |
|---|---|
| Runtime | OpenClaw or Hermes. |
| Model access | Managed key or BYOK. |
| Secrets | Which credentials the agent needs, and at what privilege. |
| State | What the agent stores, where it writes files, and retention rules. |
| Operations | Schedules, triggers, logs, alerts, spend limits, and review points. |

Define what the agent is supposed to do before giving it credentials.
Qoren can use managed model access or bring-your-own-key on supported plans. Choose the model policy before a production deployment so spend controls and provider ownership are clear.
Add only the credentials an agent needs. Prefer least-privilege tokens, separate agent accounts, and credentials that can be rotated without changing unrelated systems.
Deploy the agent to a managed environment, then monitor activity, logs, usage, and spend. Review the first runs before allowing broader autonomy.
Use local self-hosting when you need offline execution, a free local experiment, or full host-level control. Use Qoren when the agent should stay online and you do not want to maintain the infrastructure.
