OpenClaw is a self-hosted personal AI assistant that runs on your own devices and connects LLM models, tools, and messaging channels through a single Gateway. It is designed for a single operator who wants an AI assistant available across any OS and chat platform while keeping their data under their own control.

Use cases

• run a personal AI assistant on my own hardware
• chat with an AI assistant from my existing messaging apps
• self-host an AI assistant that owns my data
• connect LLM tools and channels through one gateway
• get an AI assistant that works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
• automate personal tasks with a local AI agent

When to choose

• you want a personal AI assistant running on your own devices rather than a hosted service
• you want to meet the assistant in messaging channels you already use
• you value owning your data and self-hosting
• you want one Gateway connecting models, tools, and companion apps

When to avoid

• you need a multi-tenant or team-oriented assistant platform
• you prefer a fully managed cloud assistant with no local setup
• you cannot run a Node.js runtime or daemon on your devices
• you need a license-guaranteed open-source deployment (license is marked NOASSERTION)
