Belong AI Deploy
Overview
Belong AI Deploy sets up a private AI agent that runs on your own cloud account. Connect it to Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, or another supported channel, then operate it through a Tailscale-private dashboard. You keep the infrastructure, data, and AI-provider relationship under your control.
Choose the path that fits how you work:
- Guided hosted setup: Launch at aideploy.co with provider sign-ins, a visual deployment flow, and managed operations.
- Open-source self-hosting: Explore
belongnet/aideployon GitHub for the public CLI, runtime stack, OpenTofu modules, lifecycle tools, and source.
The guided hosted deploy
- Sign in with DigitalOcean — one click, your server is ready
- Sign in with ChatGPT — one click, your AI is connected
- Connect Telegram — paste one token
- Click Launch — your agent is live in about 60 seconds
See the Quick Start for the step-by-step walkthrough.

- Your dashboard and agent are private — reachable only through your own Tailscale network, not the public internet.
- Messaging webhooks are optional and, when enabled, only open a single HTTPS route for the channel you chose.
- Your agent stores long-term memory in its own private database, so it remembers context across conversations.
Hosted support
Cloud
| Provider | Auth | New deployments |
|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean (default) | OAuth | Active |
| OVHcloud | Signed API token | Active; production control plane |
| Google Cloud | OAuth | Active beta |
| AWS | API key | Active beta |
| Scaleway | API key | Active beta |
| Microsoft Azure | — | Disabled; retained compatibility only |
See Cloud Providers for details.
AI
| Provider | Auth | Default model |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT (default) | OAuth | GPT-5.5 |
| Claude | OAuth | Claude Opus 4.8 (1M) |
| Gemini | API key | Gemini 3 Deep Think |
| Kimi | API key | Kimi K2.6 |
Image generation and voice-note transcription ship preconfigured. See AI Providers.
Agent runtimes
| Runtime | Shape | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Hermes Agent (default) | Lean single-agent runtime | Beta |
| OpenClaw | Multi-agent gateway and browser runtime | Beta |
Both runtimes are available in the public repository and the hosted wizard. Their channel support differs; the wizard shows only compatible combinations.
Messaging
| Platform | Setup time |
|---|---|
| Telegram (default) | ~30 sec |
| Slack | ~3 min |
| ~5 min |
See Channels.
What you can do after deploy
Once your agent is live, open the management dashboard over your private network to:
- Chat & review — read every conversation in a threaded view, search, and star important ones
- Automate with tasks — trigger actions on keywords, schedules, or webhooks (welcome greetings, FAQ auto-replies, daily summaries, and more)
- Tune your agent — set its personality/system prompt, switch models, and manage conversation cleanup
- Run more agents — deploy multiple independent agents on one server, each with its own model and channels
Server sizes & cost
| Plan | Agents | Approx. cost | Specs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1–4 | ~$24/mo | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM |
| Growing | 5–8 | ~$48/mo | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM |
| Power | 9–16 | ~$96/mo | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM |
Most people should start with Starter — you can resize later from your cloud provider's dashboard. Your AI usage is billed by your provider (or covered by your existing subscription when you use OAuth).
Deploying programmatically
Teams that want automation instead of the sign-in wizard can provision agents with a REST API or a local MCP server (deploy from CI, manage a fleet from your editor, or batch-launch an agent per customer). See Enterprise & API.
