OpenClaw Install on Raspberry Pi 5 + AI HAT

In this video, I’ll show you how to install OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi 5 with an AI Hat. Formerly known as ClaudeBot, OpenClaw isn't just a chatbot like ChatGPT or Gemini—it’s an agent. It uses tokens and API calls to actually make changes to your computer and any other systems you give it access to. I’ll walk you through the entire process, from understanding the hardware requirements to setting up a secure "sandbox" environment using a burner email to keep your personal data safe. We'll also link it to OpenAI to get the agent up and running!
