What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that runs autonomously 24/7 across your favorite chat apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage) to manage tasks, automate workflows, execute code in a secure sandbox, browse the web, read/write files, and run shell commands. Acting as a hackable “Personal OS,” OpenClaw integrates your tools and data—including Obsidian notes, WHOOP metrics, email, calendar, Home Assistant, SSH, and databases like Supabase—to deliver personalized, proactive help. It supports flagship hosted models via a built-in LLM API subscription or your own/custom/local models through Ollama, and can be deployed locally or in the cloud. With plugins, self-built skills from notes or YouTube, persistent memory, and multi-agent orchestration, OpenClaw becomes a true digital teammate for everything from code reviews and PRs to content pipelines and tax prep.
