Clawd Bot

Messages you send on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord or Slack can trigger real tasks on your own computer with Clawd Bot, also known as OpenClaw.

Clawd Bot is an open-source AI assistant that runs locally and carries out jobs for you through the chat apps you already use.

The task list is practical rather than conversational.

Clawd Bot can manage your email, schedule calendar events, check you in for flights, control smart home devices and navigate the web through browser control.

That puts it closer to an AI agent than a basic chatbot that only answers questions.

Privacy is a main selling point, since your data stays on your own hardware instead of a hosted service.

You also choose the model behind it.

Claude, GPT-4 and Gemini are supported, as are local models such as Llama, so you can run everything offline if you prefer.

Because it is open source and runs on your machine, expect to handle setup yourself.

The trade is control over your data and your choice of model, which hosted assistants rarely give you.
