Run OpenClaw on ubc now.

OpenClaw takes any OpenAI-compatible provider. Add ubc now to its config and your agent runs on frontier models within your daily budget.

What works

Supported in OpenClaw.

ubc now is a standard OpenAI provider to OpenClaw, so the agent loop works end to end:

Set ubc now as the openai provider in your config file.

Function/tool calling flows through the OpenAI-compatible API.

Use any model id ubc now serves for the agent's brain.

Setup

Verify with Self and mint a key on the API keys page. Agents burn tokens fast, so watch your budget on the usage page.

In your OpenClaw config (JSON5), set the openai provider's base URL and key.

openclaw config (JSON5)

{
  models: {
    providers: {
      openai: {
        baseUrl: "https://ubcnow.ai/v1",
        apiKey: "ubc_sk_…",
      },
    },
  },
}

Set the agent's model to an id from the catalog.

List the models ubc now serves

curl https://ubcnow.ai/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ubc_sk_…"

Troubleshooting

Agents make many calls. A 402 means the daily budget is spent; it resets at 00:00 UTC. Earn credits via quests to extend a run.

The key must be an active ubc_sk_ key. Re-mint on the API keys page if you revoked it.

Use an exact id from https://ubcnow.ai/v1/models. ubc now doesn't alias OpenAI model names.

Mint a key, set the provider, and let it run.
