OpenClaw
OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that runs locally and connects large language models to your messaging apps, file system, and system shell to automate tasks and run autonomous workflows.
Installed with a one-line shell script, it runs a long-lived Gateway process that owns every messaging surface and routes them to your agent, so you can drive it from WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, and more. Because it has direct shell access, you can use it to trigger Python scripts, run pytest, or call tools like ruff and mypy from a simple chat message. The same Gateway also backs a browser Control UI, a command-line interface, macOS and Windows companion apps, and iOS and Android nodes. You can extend it with tools, skills, and plugins that you install from the ClawHub marketplace. It works with dozens of hosted model providers, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek, and it can also drive models running locally through Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp.
