OpenClaw

Local-first personal AI assistant. It runs an agent gateway that answers on messaging channels people already use, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Teams and Matrix, with companion apps for macOS, iOS and Android, a live Canvas interface and a skills and extensions SDK. The gateway is model-agnostic and routes to a chosen LLM backend.

Capability

5 high confidence

5.0

Among the most ambitious open personal-assistant projects: it unifies chat, voice and many messaging surfaces, with broader channel reach than Open WebUI, Jan or Khoj. The channel and companion-app breadth the score rests on is claimed by the README rather than independently countable; what is independently confirmed is that the project is live and moving fast, now at 386,183 stars.
