Clawdbot
Open-source, self-hosted personal AI assistant that executes tasks via chat apps.
What is Clawdbot?
OpenClaw is an advanced, open-source personal AI assistant infrastructure designed to run locally on your own machine. Originally known during its development as clawdbot and moltbot, the project allows you to host a highly capable digital teammate on Mac, Windows, or Linux. Unlike walled-garden alternatives, openclaw ai gives users complete control over their context, data, and infrastructure, allowing them to connect major LLMs like Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI's GPT to everyday messaging platforms. Whether you refer to it as open claw, clawbot, or its official name, the platform functions as an autonomous, 24/7 personal operating system that can execute code, control browsers, manage communications, and build its own skills natively.
