🦞 OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant
EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices It answers you on the channels you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, BlueBubbles, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, Zalo Personal, WebChat). It can speak and listen on macOS/iOS/Android, and can render a live Canvas you control. The Gateway is just the control plane — the product is the assistant.
If you want a personal, single-user assistant that feels local, fast, and always-on, this is it.

An open-source Collaborative Multi-Agent OS for transparent, human-in-the-loop task coordination via Matrix rooms.
HiClaw is an open-source Collaborative Multi-Agent OS for transparent, human-in-the-loop task coordination via Matrix rooms.
Built with a Manager-Workers architecture, HiClaw lets you coordinate multiple Worker Agents through a Manager Agent to complete complex tasks — all conversations are visible in Matrix rooms, and you can intervene at any time.
Think of it as your AI team in a chat room: tell the Manager what you need, it spins up Workers, and you watch everything happen in real-time.
Key Features
-
🧬 Manager-Workers Architecture: Eliminates the need for human oversight of individual Worker Claws by enabling Agents to manage other Agents.
-
🦞 Customizable Agents: Each Agent supports flexible configurations including OpenClaw, Copaw, NanoClaw, ZeroClaw, and enterprise-built Agents—scaling from individual "shrimp farming" to full-scale "shrimp farm" operations..
-
📦 MinIO Shared File System: Introduces a shared file system for inter-Agent information exchange, significantly reducing token consumption…

NVIDIA NemoClaw: Reference Stack for Running OpenClaw in OpenShell
NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open source reference stack that simplifies running OpenClaw always-on assistants more safely. It installs the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime, part of NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, which provides additional security for running autonomous agents. It also includes open source models such as NVIDIA Nemotron.
Alpha software
NemoClaw is available in early preview starting March 16, 2026. This software is not production-ready. Interfaces, APIs, and behavior may change without notice as we iterate on the design. The project is shared to gather feedback and enable early experimentation. We welcome issues and discussion from the community while the project evolves.
Quick Start
Follow these steps to get started with NemoClaw and your first sandboxed OpenClaw agent.
ℹ️ Note
NemoClaw creates a fresh OpenClaw instance inside the sandbox during onboarding.

OpenClaw has nearly half a million lines of code, 53 config files, and 70+ dependencies. Its security is at the application level (allowlists, pairing codes) rather than true…

Philosophy
IronClaw is built on a simple principle: your AI assistant should work for you, not against you.
In a world where AI systems are increasingly opaque about data handling and aligned with corporate interests, IronClaw takes a different approach:
- Your data stays yours - All information is stored locally, encrypted, and never leaves your control
- Transparency by design - Open source, auditable, no hidden telemetry or data harvesting
- Self-expanding capabilities - Build new tools on the fly without waiting for vendor updates
- Defense in depth - Multiple security layers protect against prompt injection and data exfiltration
IronClaw is the AI assistant you can actually trust with your personal and professional life.

Natural language control of ROS2 robots through messaging apps, powered by AI agents.
RosClaw connects OpenClaw to ROS2 (the Robot Operating System) through an intelligent plugin layer. Send a message on Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack — the robot moves. Connect to your own robot or "lease" any robot registered into our portal globally. Each robot registers their own profile with capabilitie.
Whethere it's a cute desk robot or a humanoid robot, all you have to do is install our OpenClaw extension and run our ROS2 packakge.

Personal autonomous agent powered by Gemini CLI. Orchestrates scheduling, persistent memory, MCP tools, and multi-channel messaging.
An extension for Gemini CLI that adds autonomous agent orchestration.
Scheduling · Memory · MCP Tools · Multi-channel Messaging
Why GeminiClaw?
GeminiClaw extends Gemini CLI — it doesn't replace it. All LLM reasoning, tool use, and sandbox execution happen inside Gemini CLI via ACP. GeminiClaw never touches OAuth tokens or calls backend services directly — it spawns Gemini CLI processes and communicates over stdio.
- ACP process pool — Keeps warm Gemini CLI processes with session affinity. Stateful multi-turn conversations without replay overhead.
- Thin orchestration layer — Scheduling is Inngest. Search is QMD. Messaging is Chat SDK. GeminiClaw is the glue, not another agent framework.
- Sandboxed by default — Every agent run executes inside Gemini CLI's Docker sandbox. Tool use is isolated from day one.
- Bring your own auth — Authentication is handled entirely by Gemini CLI. GeminiClaw supports whatever auth method you configure (Google OAuth, API key, Vertex AI).
