Clawdbot: Your Personal, Local, and Secure AI Assistant

2026-01-26

Meet Clawdbot, the AI assistant that runs on your own devices (macOS, iOS, Android), prioritizes privacy, and unifies your communications across WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and more.

Clawdbot is not just another chatbot. It is a personal AI assistant that you control . Unlike cloud assistants that own your data, Clawdbot runs locally on your gateway, connecting to the models you choose (Anthropic, OpenAI, local models).

🛡️ Philosophy: "Your own personal AI assistant. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way."

Local-first Gateway: A single control plane for all your sessions, channels, and tools.

Multi-channel Support: Use it where you already are: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, etc.

Live Canvas: An agent-driven visual workspace for complex tasks.

Voice Wake & Talk Mode: Speak with your assistant on macOS, iOS, and Android (powered by ElevenLabs).

Clawdbot treats inbound DMs as untrusted input by default. It includes a secure pairing system to ensure only you control the agent.

# Quick install (requires Node.js 22+)

Clawdbot is open source and highly extensible. You can build your own "Skills" and tools to give your agent new capabilities.
