Set Up TeamoRouter in 2 Seconds: One Key for Every Top LLM in Your OpenClaw

#openclaw #tutorial #llm #ai

What is TeamoRouter?

TeamoRouter is the native LLM routing gateway built for OpenClaw. It gives you one unified key to access every top LLM — Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, DeepSeek, and more — with smart routing, pay-as-you-go billing, and up to 50% off official API prices.

Prerequisites

  • OpenClaw >= 2026.3.x installed on your machine

That's it. No API keys to juggle, no config files to edit.

Step 1: Tell Your OpenClaw to Install

Open any OpenClaw chat and paste this message:

Read https://gateway.teamo.ai/skill.md and follow the instructions to install TeamoRouter.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Your agent will read the skill file and handle everything automatically — downloading the router config, registering your agent, and wiring up the connection.

You'll see output confirming the installation is in progress. Just wait for it to finish.

Step 2: Click the Claim Link

Once installation completes, your agent will send you a claim link. It looks something like this:

Your TeamoRouter agent has been registered!
Click here to claim your account: https://router.teamolab.com/claim/xxxxx
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Click that link. It opens in your browser where you:

  1. Bind your wallet (for pay-as-you-go billing)
  2. Confirm your account

That's it — your account is live. You even get free sign-up credit to start exploring immediately.

Step 3: You're Done! Try It Out

Back in your OpenClaw chat, just type:

Switch to claude-opus-4.6
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Your agent now routes through TeamoRouter and responds using Claude Opus 4.6. Want to try another model? Just say:

Switch to gpt-5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or:

Switch to gemini
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Available models include:

Model Description
claude-opus-4.6 Anthropic's most capable model
claude-sonnet-4.6 Fast and smart from Anthropic
gpt-5 OpenAI's latest flagship
gemini Google's multimodal model
deepseek Strong reasoning at low cost
kimi-k2 Moonshot AI's latest
minimax Efficient general-purpose model

Switching is instant. No config changes, no restarts.

Understanding Routing Tiers

Don't want to pick a specific model every time? TeamoRouter offers three smart routing options that automatically choose the best model for each request:

teamo-best — Quality First

Routes every request to the most capable model available. Use this when output quality matters most and cost is secondary.

Switch to teamo-best
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

teamo-balanced — Best Value

Balances quality and cost intelligently. It picks a strong model that won't break the bank. This is the sweet spot for most users.

Switch to teamo-balanced
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

teamo-eco — Cheapest

Routes to the most cost-effective model that can handle your request. Great for high-volume tasks, drafts, or when you're exploring.

Switch to teamo-eco
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Tip: Start with teamo-balanced for everyday use. Switch to teamo-best when you need peak performance on complex tasks.

FAQ

Do I need separate API keys for each model?

No. That's the whole point of TeamoRouter. One installation, one account, access to all models.

How do I switch models?

Just type Switch to <model-name> in your OpenClaw chat. For example: Switch to gpt-5 or Switch to teamo-balanced.

Is my data secure?

TeamoRouter acts as a routing gateway. Your requests are forwarded to the model provider and responses are returned directly. TeamoRouter does not store your conversation content.

What happens when my balance runs out?

Requests will stop routing until you top up. Visit the dashboard to add funds.

Can I use TeamoRouter outside of OpenClaw?

TeamoRouter is purpose-built for OpenClaw. It's the native LLM router for the platform.

What OpenClaw version do I need?

OpenClaw 2026.3.x or later.
