Clawdbot AI

Clawdbot AI is an open-source, self-hosted personal AI assistant designed to automate real-world tasks through integration with popular messaging platforms and local execution on a user's own device. Unlike traditional AI chatbots that primarily respond to queries, Clawdbot AI connects large language models—including Claude, ChatGPT, and various local models—to messaging services and automation tools, enabling it to perform a range of actions beyond conversation. The assistant can be installed as a background service on macOS, Windows, Linux, or a small server, and is cloudless by design, ensuring that user data, conversation history, context files, and preferences remain stored locally unless actively shared. This privacy-focused architecture is intended to give users full control over their information and workflows. Clawdbot AI supports integration with messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage, allowing users to interact with the assistant from their preferred chat applications on both phone and desktop. It maintains conversational context across apps and supports group chats with customizable engagement prompts. Functionality includes managing emails and calendars, sorting inboxes, browsing websites, filling out forms, analyzing data, running shell or terminal commands, managing files, and controlling smart home devices such as Philips Hue, Alexa, Google Home, Sonos, 8Sleep, and Home Assistant. Clawdbot AI also features an extensible skills and plugin system, primarily through ClawdHub, which allows users to customize and expand its capabilities to suit their workflows. The assistant can send reminders, briefings, and alerts via messaging platforms, and supports advanced interfaces like a live canvas for visual tasks, optional voice interaction, companion apps for macOS and iOS, and real-time websockets for interactive workflows. Clawdbot AI is suitable for users seeking a customizable, privacy-focused digital assistant that can automate tasks and manage information across devices and messaging platforms. Its open-source nature and support for multiple AI models offer flexibility in terms of performance, cost, and privacy preferences.
