Open-Source Personal AI Assistant

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a free, open-source AI assistant that runs entirely on your own server. Unlike ChatGPT or Claude.ai where conversations go through third-party servers, OpenClaw keeps everything local. You can chat with it through your favorite messaging apps — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal — and it can do much more than just answer questions. It browses the web, fills out forms, runs code, takes screenshots, and automates tasks just like a human would. Think of it as having your own private AI employee that works 24/7 on your infrastructure.

What It Can Do

AI Agent Capabilities

•Browse the web — Navigate sites, read content, extract data, take screenshots
•Fill forms & click buttons — Automate website interactions like a real user
•Execute code — Run Python, JavaScript, shell scripts in Docker containers
•Process files — Read, write, manipulate documents, images, spreadsheets
•Voice conversations — Talk Mode with ElevenLabs voice synthesis

How You Access It

Multi-Channel Messaging

•Telegram — Message your AI like any contact, send images, receive files
•WhatsApp — Access from your phone or WhatsApp Web, fully integrated
•Discord & Slack — Add your AI to team channels or direct messages
•Signal & iMessage — Privacy-focused messaging with encryption
•Web Dashboard — Advanced configuration via SSH tunnel

Why Self-Host?

Your Server, Your Data

•Complete privacy — Conversations never leave your server
•Full control — Choose your AI model, configure limits, add integrations
•Always available — Your AI runs 24/7 on dedicated hardware
•Cost effective — Pay only for API usage, no subscription fees

VERIFY OUR SECURITY

Open Source & Transparent

We believe in transparency. Our entire setup script is open-source — inspect every line of code that runs on your server.

Inspect the Code

See exactly what gets installed on your server

OpenClaw is a powerful AI assistant — and with great power comes great responsibility. In January 2026, security researchers found 42,000+ exposed instances running without authentication. We created this hardened setup to fix that.

Our setup script implements 8 layers of security: nftables firewall, fail2ban, SSH hardening, gateway authentication, AppArmor profiles, Docker sandboxing, systemd isolation, and screen lock for desktop mode. But don't take our word for it — read the code yourself.

We invite security researchers, developers, and the community to review our script, report vulnerabilities, and contribute improvements. Together, we can make self-hosted AI safer for everyone.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions

New to OpenClaw or self-hosted AI? We've got answers.

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a free, open-source personal AI assistant that runs on your own infrastructure. It lets you interact with AI models (Claude, GPT) through messaging apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, and Slack - while keeping all data on your own server. It can browse the web, run code, and automate tasks.

What security measures are included?

We pre-configure several security layers: nftables firewall with minimal open ports, fail2ban for brute-force protection, AppArmor profiles, automatic security updates, and the OpenClaw dashboard bound to localhost only. This gives you a hardened starting point - though as with any software, security also depends on how you use and configure it.

What's the difference between Server and Desktop mode?

Server mode runs headless with minimal resources (4GB RAM) - great for production use where you access AI through messaging apps. Desktop mode includes a full XFCE desktop with real browsers (8GB RAM) where the AI operates like a human - browsing sites, filling forms, clicking buttons. You can watch everything via VNC and some websites that block headless browsers work perfectly in Desktop mode.

Do I need technical knowledge?

Minimal. You'll receive connection details via email. SSH to your server, and follow the simple guide shown on login: add your API key, restart the gateway, connect your messaging channel. That's it. Everything else is pre-configured.

How do I connect my AI model?

You have two options: use an API key from Anthropic or OpenAI, or login directly with your existing Claude/ChatGPT account token. Either way, your credentials stay on your server - we never see them.

How do I access my AI after setup?

Primarily through messaging apps! SSH into your server, run a few commands to connect Telegram/WhatsApp/Discord, and then just message your bot like any contact. You can also access the web dashboard via SSH tunnel for advanced configuration.

Can the AI browse websites and run code?

Yes! OpenClaw includes browser control for web interactions - searching, reading pages, filling forms, taking screenshots. It can also execute code in sandboxed environments. These are core features of OpenClaw that make it more than just a chat interface.

How is this different from using ChatGPT or Claude directly?

Three main differences: (1) Privacy - conversations stay on your server, not on OpenAI/Anthropic's servers; (2) Integration - access AI through any messaging app, not just a web browser; (3) Automation - OpenClaw can browse the web, run code, and execute tasks autonomously. It's an AI agent, not just a chatbot.

Why host OpenClaw on a VPS instead of my local machine?

A VPS provides 24/7 availability - your AI assistant is always online, even when your computer is off. It also offers better connectivity for messaging integrations, dedicated resources, and a stable IP address. Plus, you don't need to worry about port forwarding or dynamic DNS.

What messaging platforms does OpenClaw support?

OpenClaw supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Matrix, and more. You can connect multiple platforms simultaneously and manage them all from one AI assistant.
