Clawdbot is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices. It replies on the messaging surfaces you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Mattermost (plugin), Discord, Signal, iMessage, WebChat) and can also do voice + a live Canvas on supported platforms. The **Gateway** is the always-on control plane; the assistant is the product.
### Whats the value proposition?
Clawdbot is not “just a Claude wrapper.” Its a **local-first control plane** that lets you run a
capable assistant on **your own hardware**, reachable from the chat apps you already use, with
stateful sessions, memory, and tools — without handing control of your workflows to a hosted
SaaS.
Highlights:
- **Your devices, your data:** run the Gateway wherever you want (Mac, Linux, VPS) and keep the
workspace + session history local.
- **Real channels, not a web sandbox:** WhatsApp/Telegram/Slack/Discord/Signal/iMessage/etc,
plus mobile voice and Canvas on supported platforms.
- **Model-agnostic:** use Anthropic, OpenAI, MiniMax, OpenRouter, etc., with peragent routing
and failover.
- **Local-only option:** run local models so **all data can stay on your device** if you want.
- **Multi-agent routing:** separate agents per channel, account, or task, each with its own
workspace and defaults.
- **Open source and hackable:** inspect, extend, and self-host without vendor lockin.
