OpenClaw

OpenClaw (formerly known as Moltbot and Clawdbot) is a personal AI assistant platform that runs on your own infrastructure, enabling you to interact with AI across multiple messaging channels including WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, and Microsoft Teams. Unlike cloud-based assistants, OpenClaw operates as a self-hosted control plane that connects to the messaging platforms you already use, providing a unified interface for AI interactions while keeping your data under your control. The platform has gained significant traction in the developer community with over 11,000 stars on GitHub.

Common Use Cases

Development teams use OpenClaw to create custom AI assistants that integrate with their existing workflow tools, enabling automated code reviews, documentation generation, and technical support through Slack or Discord. Product and operations teams leverage OpenClaw for building intelligent chatbots that handle customer inquiries across multiple platforms simultaneously, reducing response times and improving service consistency. Personal users and small teams deploy OpenClaw to consolidate AI interactions across messaging apps, creating a unified assistant that can access the same context and capabilities regardless of which platform they're currently using.
