Setup OpenClaw & Claude Systems

OpenClaw + Claude Code Setup Brief

I’m looking for an expert in OpenClaw and Claude Code to build a business operating system similar to what Simon Beard has spoken about and demonstrated with AI-powered business operations.

The goal is not simply to install software. The goal is to create an AI executive team that helps run and scale my business.

Business

Elevation Built Pty Ltd

Commercial construction contractor specialising in:

* Ceilings & Partitions
* Carpentry

Build an AI operating system where Claude Code acts as the architect, builder and maintainer of the system, while OpenClaw acts as the day-to-day operational interface.

I want an AI team that behaves like a real executive and management structure.

Software Environment

* OpenClaw
* Claude Code

AI Model Routing

I want model selection properly configured.

Examples:

* Fast, low-cost models for everyday work

The system should automatically choose the appropriate model based on the task.

Documentation Required

Provide:

* Full system architecture

* Agent structure
* Memory structure
* Integration map
* Backup process
* Disaster recovery process
* Operating manual

Training

Provide a full handover and training session showing:

Success Criteria

At completion I should have:

* A functioning AI executive team
* Consistent shared memory
* Reliable workflows
* Clear delegation between agents
* Claude Code maintaining and improving the system
* OpenClaw acting as the primary interface for running the business

The goal is to create an AI-powered business operating system similar in philosophy to the Simon Beard model, tailored specifically for a commercial construction company targeting significant growth over the next several years.
