Waitroom is cloud-hosted mission control for your OpenClaw agent. No setup, no self-hosting — your agent connects itself in 60 seconds.
Post tasks from your phone. Your agent checks in before anything risky. Approve, reject, or steer it with modifications.
Your dashboard gets quieter over time. Not busier.
Every other mission control gets busier over time. More tasks. More columns. More status updates. More you, managing AI.
Waitroom gets quieter.
Your agent starts fully gated — every action needs your approval. As it proves reliable, low-risk actions get auto-approved. The trust score goes up. Your phone buzzes less. You step in only when it matters.
You're not managing an AI. You're training one to work independently.
You don't configure Waitroom. Your agent does.
No API keys to copy. No webhooks to configure. No code to write. Your agent did the integration itself.
You already talk to your agent on Telegram. On WhatsApp. On Discord. That's great for quick questions and casual conversation.
But when you need your agent to research competitors, draft a proposal, send client emails, deploy code, or organize your files — chat isn't enough. You need structure.
Waitroom is how you give your agent real work.
From the dashboard. From your phone. Describe what needs to be done. Your agent picks it up — with all its memory, context, and skills — works on it, and uploads the result. Files, summaries, threads — all in one place.
Your agent checks in before doing anything risky. You get a clean card: what it wants to do, why, and the risk level. One tap to approve.
Not just yes or no. Tap Modify — "yes, but soften the tone" or "approve, but deploy to staging first." Your judgment, injected directly into the agent's execution. No back-and-forth. No misunderstandings.
Your agent has memory, skills, machine access, and context about you and your projects. But without structure, those capabilities sit idle between chat messages.
Waitroom gives your agent a job queue and an accountability layer. Post a task — your agent brings everything it knows to bear. Its memory of your preferences. Its knowledge of your projects. The skills it's been using for weeks.
The other mission controls spinning up right now? They're dispatching prompts to stateless LLMs with role-playing avatars. Fresh context every time. No memory. No continuity.
You already have the hard part — a capable, persistent agent. Waitroom is the easy part — a place to put it to work.
No more scrolling through chat history to find that thing your agent did last Tuesday.
What's happening right now. Pending approvals, active tasks, recent completions.
Organize work by project, domain, or team. Each room has its own policies and trust thresholds.
Full history of every action and decision. Who approved what, when, and why.
Your phone buzzes when something needs attention. Not before.
Waitroom doesn't replace Telegram or WhatsApp. It sits next to them. Same agent. Same memory. Different surface.
| Chat (Telegram/WhatsApp) | Waitroom | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Quick questions, casual conversation | Structured tasks, real deliverables |
| Approval | Agent just does it | Agent checks in first |
| Results | Text in chat | Structured cards with file attachments |
| History | Scroll through messages | Searchable audit trail |
| Trust | Implicit | Quantified and automatic |
Yes. Waitroom's full experience — always-on task receiving, persistent connection, automatic tool registration — is built for the OpenClaw gateway. Your agent connects as a plugin, stays online, and receives tasks in real-time.
We have an MCP server that provides approval gates during active coding sessions. It's useful but different — session-scoped, not always-on. OpenClaw is the full experience.
The protocol and SDKs are MIT licensed. Self-host the backend if you want. waitroom.io is the managed cloud version with push notifications, mobile app, and zero maintenance.
Your OpenClaw gateway needs to be running to receive tasks. Most people run it on a home server, VPS, or always-on laptop. If it's offline, tasks queue up and get delivered when it reconnects.
Each check-in has a configurable timeout and fallback — hold, cancel, or auto-approve based on trust level. You set the defaults.
On Team and Business plans, yes. Each OpenClaw instance connects as a separate agent, all visible from one dashboard.
Task descriptions, approval decisions, trust scores, and audit logs. Your agent's memory, files, and machine access stay on your hardware. Waitroom never sees your agent's soul, memory, or workspace contents.
Yes. The backend is open source. You lose push notifications, the managed mobile app, and automatic updates, but everything else works.
