OpenClaw
Self-hosted gateway for AI agents across your chat apps
Overview
OpenClaw is a self-hosted gateway that connects your chat applications—WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more—to AI agents. Users message from their preferred chat app and receive agent responses directly. It's ideal for running private AI assistants or agent-based workflows without relying on external services.
Getting started is straightforward: OpenClaw provides a guided setup wizard for onboarding and pairing your chat channels with agents. Once configured, use the browser-based Control UI to monitor sessions, adjust settings, and manage integrations.
OpenClaw runs on your infrastructure, keeping conversations and data under your control. Docker is optional—run it normally or use a containerized gateway for isolation and easy teardown in server environments.
