Clawdbot is a "local-first" open-source AI assistant framework designed to act as a true digital agent. Unlike browser-based bots, it runs on your own machine (macOS, Windows, or Linux) and uses apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, or Telegram as its control interface. It bridges the gap between LLMs and your local environment, allowing the assistant to access files, run terminal commands, and manage your daily workflows directly.
- Key Features:
- Omnichannel Access: Allows users to interact with and control their local assistant from anywhere via WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal, and iMessage.
- System-Level Execution: With permission, it can execute bash scripts, manage local files, control media playback (e.g., Spotify), and automate terminal tasks.
- Persistent Local Memory: Stores all settings, preferences, and long-term memories as local Markdown files, ensuring total data privacy and user control.
- Live Canvas: Features a real-time visual workspace where the assistant can render and manipulate UI, diagrams, or code previews during a conversation.
