Clawd Bot

Description

Clawd Bot is an open-source personal AI assistant that actually performs tasks. It runs 100% on your own machine and is controlled through the chat apps you already use, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage. From those chats it can clear your inbox, send emails, manage your calendar, check you in for flights, and more.

Its capabilities include persistent memory of your preferences and past conversations, browser control to auto-fill forms, extract data, and navigate websites hands-free, and system access to read and write files and execute shell commands in your local environment. It is extensible through community skills and plugins or ones you build yourself, and it connects with 50+ services across chat platforms, AI models, productivity tools, and smart home. Privacy is central: by default your data stays on your machine and only leaves when you explicitly request an action like sending an email or using a cloud model.

Clawd Bot works on macOS, Windows, and Linux and installs via a one-line command, npm, or from source, with a macOS app also available. It supports many AI models, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and Mistral, and local LLMs via Ollama or LM Studio. It is free and open source; you only pay for cloud model API costs if you choose to use them. System actions require permission, with granular controls and a preview before execution.
