Requires logging into each AI service via an automated browser window before the gateway is ready to use.
OpenClaw Zero Token is a tool that lets you use major AI chat services through a single local gateway, without purchasing API access or API keys for any of them. Instead of paying per request through an official API, it logs into the web interfaces of those services using your existing account credentials and then routes your requests through those browser sessions. Supported services include Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, Qwen, Doubao, and several others. The way it works is through browser automation. When you set it up, it opens a browser window where you log in to each AI service you want to use, just as you would normally. The tool captures those authenticated sessions and keeps them running. After that, you can send requests to a local gateway the tool runs on your computer, and it forwards those requests to the appropriate service through the live browser session. From the outside, this local gateway looks like a standard AI API, so other applications that support API-style access to language models can connect to it. The tool also supports tool calling for most of the connected services. Tool calling means the AI can be given access to actions like searching the web, reading or writing files, or executing commands. These actions run locally on your machine within a workspace directory you configure. An additional feature called AskOnce lets you send a single question to all configured providers at the same time and view the responses side by side. The README includes a disclaimer section noting that this approach operates against the terms of service of the AI providers involved, and it carries risks such as account suspension. The project is a fork of another project called OpenClaw, focused specifically on removing the requirement for paid API tokens.
