OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an MIT-licensed personal AI agent that runs on your own machine rather than a vendor's cloud. It reaches you through messaging apps you already use - WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Signal and others - and acts on your behalf via shell commands, browser automation, email, calendar and file operations. Memory and data are stored as Markdown files on your own disk, it is model-agnostic with bring-your-own API keys, and it is extensible through a portable AgentSkills format with over 100 preconfigured skills. Originally published as Clawdbot in November 2025 and renamed in January 2026.
