How to Set Up NemoClaw on a DigitalOcean Droplet with 1-Click

This article was originally written by Amit Jotwani (Staff Developer Advocate at DigitalOcean) At GTC 2026, NVIDIA announced NemoClaw, an open-source stack that makes it easy to run OpenClaw autonomous agents securely. OpenClaw is an open-source agent platform that Jensen Huang called “the operating system for personal AI.” We covered how to run OpenClaw on a Droplet in an earlier tutorial. NemoClaw takes a different approach — it wraps OpenClaw with sandboxing, security policies, and inference routing through NVIDIA’s cloud. NemoClaw is still in alpha, so expect rough edges. Interfaces may change, features might be incomplete, and things could break. But if you’re curious to try it out or just want to see what NVIDIA’s vision for agents looks like, this tutorial will get you up and running on a DigitalOcean Droplet in under 10 minutes.
