About
Chowder is an API-first platform for deploying and managing OpenClaw instances programmatically. It offers an OpenAI-compatible API as a drop-in replacement, 11 integrated messaging channels, a skills marketplace, and built-in authentication with automatic key rotation — all manageable through a unified API rather than a dashboard.
