Meet OpenClaw, an open-source AI assistant that runs on your machine.
OpenClaw is open-source assistant infrastructure that runs on hardware you control. It connects AI agents to familiar chat channels, keeps its gateway and state on your machine, and can use models, tools, memory, and scheduled work under explicit permissions.
External links open official OpenClaw or OpenClaw GitHub pages. Requirements, versions, features, and download files can change; confirm current details before installation.
What OpenClaw looks like
Three figures from OpenClaw’s own blog: the key art for the 2.0 release, the welcome window of the new macOS installer, and the announcement graphic for extended-stable releases. OpenClaw publishes no generated output to show — it is desktop software, and the interface is the product — so these are the figures its own pages publish.
