What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a self-hosted, open-source AI agent that acts as your personal AI assistant — accessible via WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and 12+ other messaging platforms. Unlike cloud-based AI services, OpenClaw runs entirely on your own hardware, keeping your data private.

Key features:

• Free & open-source — no subscription, no lock-in (MIT licensed)
• Self-hosted — runs locally on macOS, Linux, and Windows
• 12+ messaging platforms — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, Teams, and more
• 50+ integrations — GitHub, Gmail, Spotify, Obsidian, smart home (Hue, HomeKit), and more
• 700+ community skills on ClawHub
• Local LLM support via Ollama and LM Studio (run DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral, etc.)
• Persistent memory across sessions — remembers context and preferences
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for extended agentic capabilities
• Multi-provider — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, or any local model
