## What do you get?



- 🔀 **Route requests to the right model** — cut costs up to 70%

- 📊 **Track spending** — see tokens and costs per model in real time

- 🔔 **Set limits** — get alerts when usage goes over a threshold



## Why Manifest



OpenClaw sends all your requests to the same model, which is not cost-effective since you summon big models for tiny tasks. Manifest solves it by redirecting queries to the most cost-effective model.



Manifest is an OpenClaw plugin that intercepts your query, passes it through a 23-dimension scoring algorithm in <2ms and sends it to the most suitable model.



Unlike almost all alternatives, everything stays on your machine. No suspicious installer, no black box, no third party, no crypto.



## Quick Start



### Cloud vs Local



Manifest is available in cloud and local versions. While both versions install the same OpenClaw Plugin, the local version stores the telemetry data on your computer and the cloud version uses our secure platform.



#### Use cloud if

- You want a quick install

- You want to access the dashboard from different devices

- You want to connect multiple agents



#### Use local if

- You don't want the telemetry data to move from your computer

- You don’t need multi-device access

- You don't want to subscribe to a cloud service

- You are using a local model like Ollama



If you don't know which version to choose, start with the **cloud version**.



### Cloud (default)



```bash

openclaw plugins install manifest

openclaw config set plugins.entries.manifest.config.apiKey "mnfst_YOUR_KEY"

openclaw gateway restart

```



Sign up at [app.manifest.build](https://app.manifest.build) to get your API key.



### Local



```bash

openclaw plugins install manifest

openclaw config set plugins.entries.manifest.config.mode local

openclaw gateway restart

```



Dashboard opens at **http://127.0.0.1:2099**. Telemetry from your agents flows in automatically.



To use tailsacle to proxy it to your network (needs Tailscale installed in both devices).



```

tailscale serve --bg 2099

```



## Features



- **LLM Router** — scores each query and calls the most suitable model

- **Real-time dashboard** — tokens, costs, messages, and model usage at a glance

- **No coding required** — Simple install as OpenClaw plugin

- **OTLP-native** — standard OpenTelemetry ingestion (traces, metrics, logs)



## Privacy by architecture



**In local mode, your data stays on your machine.** All agent messages, token counts, costs, and telemetry are stored locally. In cloud mode, only OpenTelemetry metadata (model, tokens, latency) is sent — message content is never collected.



**In cloud mode, the blind proxy physically cannot read your prompts.** This is fundamentally different from services saying "trust us."



The only thing Manifest collects is anonymous product analytics (hashed machine ID, OS platform, package version, event names) to help improve the project. No personally identifiable information or agent data is included.



**Opting out:**



```bash

MANIFEST_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1

```



Or add `"telemetryOptOut": true` to `~/.openclaw/manifest/config.json`.



## Manifest vs OpenRouter



|              | Manifest                                                   | OpenRouter                                                    |

| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Architecture | Runs locally — data stays on your machine                  | Cloud proxy — all traffic routes through their servers        |

| Cost         | Free                                                       | 5% fee on every API call                                      |

| Source code  | MIT licensed, fully open                                   | Proprietary                                                   |

| Data privacy | 100% local routing and logging                    | Your prompts and responses pass through a third party         |

| Transparency | Open scoring algorithm — see exactly why a model is chosen | Black box routing, no visibility into how models are selected |
