Clawdbot is a personal AI assistant that lives on your own devices and answers you across the messaging apps you already use every day, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, and more. Instead of switching between different chatbots or browser tabs, you get one assistant that meets you wherever you're already talking. It also supports voice conversation on Mac, iOS, and Android, and can render a live visual canvas the assistant controls. At its core, the project runs a local "Gateway", essentially a control center on your machine that connects all your messaging channels to an AI model of your choice (the README strongly recommends Anthropic's Claude for better security and long-context performance). You start with an onboarding wizard that walks you through connecting channels and setting up skills. Once running, messages from any connected platform flow through the Gateway, get processed by the AI, and responses go back through the same channel. The system supports multiple agents, so you can route different conversations to different setups. There's also a companion macOS menu bar app and iOS/Android nodes that can handle device-specific actions like taking photos or screen recording. This is built for someone who wants a single, always-on personal assistant rather than a chatbot deployed to serve thousands of users. A founder could use it to draft replies, manage tasks, or run browser automation from their phone via WhatsApp. A PM could have it monitor webhooks or run scheduled jobs. The README emphasizes it's designed for one user, meant to feel local and fast. Security is taken seriously, by default, strangers messaging your bot get a pairing code rather than automatic responses, so randos can't trigger your assistant without approval. The project is MIT-licensed and installable via npm, with options for Docker and Nix if you prefer those approaches.
