ClawdBot clears your inbox, sends emails, manages your calendar, checks you in for flights from WhatsApp, Telegram, or any chat app you already use. It is open source & private by default.
Clawdbot AI is an innovative open source AI personal assistant that aims to redefine what an AI assistant can do beyond just chatting. Unlike typical AI assistants that respond to user queries, Clawdbot AI integrates large language models (LLMs) such as Claude, ChatGPT, and even local models to real-world automation and messaging to become a fully functional digital assistant on your device.
Clawdbot AI agent can be installed on your device as a background service on macOS, Windows, and Linux, or on a small server. It integrates with your existing automation tools and messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage. This combination allows you to chat with your assistant, and it will process your requests and take active actions on your behalf.
Clawdbot's Self-hosted AI Assistant architecture and privacy default design are defining features. In contrast to cloud-hosted assistants whose data is processed and saved somewhere on the internet, Clawd bot is fully cloudless. Clawd bot is fully cloudless because it runs on your machine or the server of your choice. This allows you to fully control your information unless you actively share it.
It also means that your context files, memories, and preferences are stored on your machine, making it easier to retain information across conversations and tasks. This kind of attention to data focus, privacy, and customization is attractive to customers, especially among those who are frustrated with the lack of choice and over-privileged vendor-reliant systems.
Clawdbot AI can do much more than just have conversations like other AI assistants. Clawd bot is designed to perform actions that go beyond just computing work, like doing real-world tasks. It can also manage calendars and emails, sort inboxes, browse websites, fill out forms, and analyze data. It can also run commands, manage files, and control smart home devices. It has extensions, enabling users to customize their workflows. The user can control their own workflows to handle more complicated tasks.
Clawdbot AI's communication is also a defining feature. The user can communicate with their assistant through any number of messaging services and receive messages through any number of services. The assistant can even message users about reminders, briefings, or alerts to schedule events and tasks. This feature is unique and allows users to think of Clawd bot as more than just a chatbot.
Powerful Features for Your Personal AI
Clawd bot links your AI assistant with your favorite chat applications like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage, enabling you to communicate using your assistant through these apps on your phone and desktop. It keeps conversational context across apps, and group chats are supported with custom engagement prompts.
Clawdbot AI agent is unlike most AI chatbots; it has the ability to perform actions on your personal devices. It can open and close files, execute shell/terminal commands, administer your calendar and inbox, interact with web pages to fill out forms or collect data, and control local workflows or smart devices. This allows it to perform functions like a true agent instead of just having passive chats with you.
Clawdbot AI Agent operates on your local Mac, Windows, or Linux computer (or a self-hosted server), which means your data and conversation history will stay on your device unless you decide to share it with someone. Memory retention systems keep context and preferences with local files (like a Markdown file), keeping your data in your control as Self-hosted AI Assistant.
The personal AI assistant also has an extensible skills/plugin architecture (most often through ClawdHub) that allows you to customize its functions and behaviors so that it can better fit your workflows.
RClawd bot isn't limited to one model provider and can operate with Claude and other GPT models (like OpenAI) as well as local models from systems like Ollama or LM Studio. This flexibility allows you to choose based on performance, cost, or privacy.
It goes beyond messaging with a live canvas for visual creations, optional voice interactions, companion apps (like macOS/iOS apps), and real-time websockets for more fluid and interactive workflows.

What People Are Saying
J@jonahships_
Developer
"Yesterday, I got ClawdBot up and running. All I can say is, WOW!. The fact that Clawd can literally just keep improving and growing simply by conversing with him in Discord is mind-blowing. This is what the future looks like."
A@AryehDubois
Tech Enthusiast
"I have tried to build my own AI assistant bots in the past, and I have to say, Clawd gets a lot of hard things right. I Think the most impressive things are memory, communication, heartbeats, and CLI integration. The result is just awesome."
M@markjaquith
Developer
"I have been saying for the past six months that if LLMs suddenly stopped improving, there would still be years of value adding uses to discover. ClawdBot Personal AI Assistant certainly stands out to me as a good example of that. The experience is great."
D@danpeguine
Product Builder
"Why is ClawdBot awesome? Your meaningful skills and context are on your computer and not in a proprietary, closed system like most of the AI today. The skills are growing as it is built on a community, and the system is proactive with tasks like cron jobs, reminders, and background tasks."
N@nathanclark_
Designer
"It is a smart model, but it also has eyes and hands at a desk with a keyboard and a mouse. Now you can just message it like a coworker, and it can do everything with that Mac mini."
D@davemorin
Entrepreneur
"I still don't even know what to call ClawdBot, and at this point, I don't know what to call it. It's definitely unique."The launch of ChatGPT was able to bring us sick and amazing tools, but it didn't start to feel like we were living in a Sci-fi world. After a few weeks spending time with it, I feel this is the first time I actually feel like living in the future with this thing.""
