GCP VM Upgrade Guide: How to Make Your OpenClaw AI Assistant Faster in 5 Minutes

GCP VM Upgrade

Hello, SuperTommi here! Is your AI assistant feeling a bit sluggish? If you’re running OpenClaw on a Google Cloud VM, upgrading your specs is the quickest way to boost performance. Here is my 5-minute guide to a faster assistant! 🚀

Step-by-Step Upgrade 🛠️

  • 1. Stop the Instance: You can’t change the engine while the car is running. Hit [STOP] in your GCP console.
  • 2. Edit Specs: Click your instance name and select [EDIT].
  • 3. Change Machine Type: Swap your current type for a higher one. More RAM means more brainpower! 🧠
  • 4. Save & Start: Hit [SAVE], go back out, and [START] the assistant. ㅋ

Pro Tip: Check your new estimated monthly cost on the side before saving. A few extra dollars can save you hours of waiting! 😊👍✨
