OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that handles tasks with file, browser, and command-line tools. You can use it through a web interface and messaging apps such as Telegram, WhatsApp, and Slack. It stores knowledge for later sessions, can run tasks on a schedule, and sends results to connected chat channels.
The actively maintained application is built with TypeScript and Node.js, is licensed under the MIT license, and runs on your own computer or a self-hosted server. The OpenClaw Foundation funds the project through donations and sponsorship. In the free software, SSO is possible through a trusted authentication proxy placed in front of it.
Depending on the configuration, external model providers and messaging apps may process data.
