Personal AI assistant that runs on your devices and connects to messaging apps.

OpenClaw runs an AI assistant on a user-managed computer and connects it to messaging services such as Slack, Telegram and WhatsApp. A Gateway coordinates sessions, tools and channel connections, with browser, terminal and command-line interfaces for control. Hosted or local model providers can supply inference, while plugins, skills and companion applications extend the available actions.
