#MeWriting I’m happy to announce the immediate availability of my OpenClaw and Mmojo Server deployment guide for Windows. OpenClaw is an open source “AI agent” platform intended to automate your common communications tasks. Mmojo Server is a Large Language Model (LLM) server that runs on your PC or laptop. OpenClaw and Mmojo Server can be deployed on you PC or laptop.

On Windows, we run Mmojo Server and OpenClaw in separate Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) instances. This allows us to sandbox OpenClaw so that you have to give it permission to access any data on your computers storage. The linked instructions walk you through installing both Mmojo Server and OpenClaw, then configuring OpenClaw to use Mmojo Server as its LLM server.

Install OpenClaw and Mmojo Server — Instructions

In the strangest twist you will ever see in a product announcement, I’m about to tell you that this system does not work well as an “AI agent” platform to automate your communications. In fact, I have written about how such systems cannot and will not work well for automation. However, I believe that by installing OpenClaw with a local LLM and playing around with it, you will be able to see the problems with the whole approach. As a bonus, you will not waste money on expensive cloud LLMs that purportedly “work better”.

Installing Mmojo Server is a fun do-it-yourself adventure! I’ve asked non-technical people to test my instructions with good results. Casual and occasional developers should have no problems.

Your PC or laptop should have a recent high-end Intel or AMD CPU, with at least 16 GB RAM and 100 GB available storage space. An NVIDIA GPU with 8GB or more of VRAM will make Mmojo Server faster.

If you need assistance via Zoom call and screen sharing, I offer a one-hour hands-on session, for (US) $100. It can be scheduled during extended west coast business hours. You will be working with me, the guy who made this thing work. Email me if interested.
