FreeOpen-source personal AI agent you run on your own machine
What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source personal agent runtime that lives on your computer, server or VM and talks to you through chat apps like WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack. It is for technical users who want an always-on assistant under their own control.
The agent can browse the web, run shell commands, manage files and call skills that add new abilities, with permission modes that limit what it may do. You pick the model provider, including local models.
There is no subscription, but you pay for model usage and hosting and take care of updates, keys and backups. Skills from the community should be reviewed before installing because they can widen the agent's access.
