What can OpenClaw developers build?
OpenClaw developers build custom skills, integrations (Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, APIs), browser automations, custom features (auth, analytics, dashboards), API layers, and bug fixes. If it involves OpenClaw code, they can build it.

Do I need a developer or a consultant?
Need hands-on implementation, custom code, or skills built? Hire a developer. Need strategic guidance, architecture design, or planning? Hire a consultant. For large projects, you often need both: consultant plans, developer builds.
Can developers work remotely?

Will I own the code the developer writes?
