OpenClaw

Self-hosted personal AI assistant that connects to your messaging apps

OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted AI assistant that runs on your own machine or VPS and connects to the messaging apps you already use. Install it on a server, connect it to Telegram, and control an AI agent from your phone.

Unlike with cloud-based assistants, you bring your own API keys and own the infrastructure. The agent runs 24/7, has access to your filesystem, shell, and browser, and can act autonomously on your behalf.

Bring your own model

OpenClaw supports 30+ AI providers: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, or any local model via Ollama. Youโ€™re not locked to one provider.
