What is openclaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own computer and meets you in more than 20 channels, including Discord, iMessage, Slack, Teams, Telegram, and WhatsApp. It handles tasks such as clearing out your inbox, sending emails, managing your calendar, and checking in for flights from a chat app. State, memory, and credentials stay on your own hardware, and the model and agent harness (Claude, Codex, local models) can be swapped through plugins. A single Gateway can run as a personal assistant or a team-shared deployment. It is maintained by the OpenClaw Foundation, an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3), and has no paid plans, hosted service, or token.
