OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that runs on a user’s machine and is described as open source. Its homepage says it organizes inboxes, sends emails, manages calendars, and checks users in for flights, and that those tasks can be done from WhatsApp, Telegram, or other chat apps already in use.
The product page also describes an ecosystem with integrations, docs, a blog, a Discord server, and a GitHub presence. Installation is shown through a one-liner script, npm, pnpm, and source checkouts from GitHub. The same page says it works on macOS, Linux, and Windows, and notes that the one-liner installs Node.js and everything else needed. Companion apps are listed in beta for macOS and Windows, with native controls for gateway, chat, setup, and node features. It also says users can switch update channels later with openclaw update --channel dev or openclaw update --channel stable.
OpenClaw is presented for people who want an assistant that can act through familiar chat apps while running locally.
