What is Genie Cloud Server (Web & Mobile Apps)?
Genie Cloud Server is your personal AI computer in the cloud. It's not a chatbot — it's a full Linux server running an AI agent framework called OpenClaw that can read your files, execute commands, run code in sandboxes, reach you on Telegram or Discord, and work autonomously even when you're offline. You access and configure it through the web app at genie.deva.me or the mobile app on iOS and Android, but the AI lives and works on your server 24/7.

How It's Different from ChatGPT or Claude.ai
What Your Genie Server Actually Does
It's a Full Linux Server
Each Genie runs on a dedicated virtual machine — Ubuntu with real CPU, RAM, and SSD storage. You can install any packages, run any software, deploy applications, and manage services just like a VPS.
It Runs an AI Agent (OpenClaw)
OpenClaw is the agent framework running on your server. It connects your chosen AI model (Claude, Codex, or Gemini) to real tools:
File system access — reads and writes files in your workspace
Terminal execution — runs shell commands on your behalf
Code sandboxes — spins up isolated Firecracker microVMs for safe code execution
Integrations — Gmail, Telegram, Discord (via Composio)
Knowledge base — references uploaded documents for informed responses
Automation — cron jobs, monitoring, scheduled tasks that run while you sleep
It Has a Personality (SOUL.md)
Your Genie's behavior is defined by a file called SOUL.md that lives on your server. Choose from preset personalities or write your own:
Balanced (default) — Professional, opinionated, code-first
Expert — Terse, assumes you're a senior engineer, no hand-holding
Mentor — Patient, educational, explains the "why" behind everything
Pair Programmer — Collaborative, thinks aloud, asks for your input
Creative — Witty, uses analogies, brainstorming mode
Or write completely custom instructions defining exactly how your Genie communicates, what it prioritizes, and how it handles different situations.
It's Reachable from Anywhere
Your Genie isn't trapped in a browser tab. Talk to it through:
Web app — Full dashboard at genie.deva.me
Telegram — Chat with your Genie as a bot, even from your phone
Discord — Add your Genie to channels, collaborate with your team
SSH — Connect from any terminal or IDE
Mobile app — iOS and Android
All channels connect to the same server. Start a conversation on your laptop, continue on your phone.
Two Interaction Modes
Easy Mode (Vibe Mode)
A clean chat interface for non-technical users. Describe what you want in plain English — your Genie translates it into actions. No terminal, no file browser, just conversation.
Pro Mode
The full dashboard: chat, terminal, file browser, system monitor, settings, and configuration. Multiple concurrent terminal sessions, granular control over everything.
Switch between modes anytime from Settings.
Server Tiers
Free-tier servers hibernate when idle and wake automatically when you reconnect. Paid servers run 24/7.
Who Is It For?
Developers who want an AI coding assistant with real system access, not a sandboxed chatbot
Power users who want a personal AI that remembers context, manages files, and automates workflows
Teams who want a shared AI assistant accessible via Discord or Telegram
Anyone who wants a private, always-on AI computer without managing infrastructure
