OpenClaw 🦞
"EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!" — A space lobster, probably
Any OS gateway for AI agents across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more.
Send a message, get an agent response from your pocket. Plugins add Mattermost and more.
OpenClaw connects chat apps to coding agents like Pi through a single Gateway process. It powers the OpenClaw assistant and supports local or remote setups.

The Gateway is the single source of truth for sessions, routing, and channel connections.
Key capabilities
WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and iMessage with a single Gateway process. Add Mattermost and more with extension packages. Isolated sessions per agent, workspace, or sender. Send and receive images, audio, and documents. Browser dashboard for chat, config, sessions, and nodes. Pair iOS and Android nodes with Canvas support.Quick start
```bash npm install -g openclaw@latest ``` ```bash openclaw onboard --install-daemon ``` ```bash openclaw channels login openclaw gateway --port 18789 ```Need the full install and dev setup? See Quick start.
Dashboard
Open the browser Control UI after the Gateway starts.
- Local default: http://127.0.0.1:18789/
- Remote access: Web surfaces and Tailscale
Configuration (optional)
Config lives at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.
- If you do nothing, OpenClaw uses the bundled Pi binary in RPC mode with per-sender sessions.
- If you want to lock it down, start with
channels.whatsapp.allowFromand (for groups) mention rules.
Example:
{
channels: {
whatsapp: {
allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
},
},
messages: { groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw"] } },
}
