## Overview
OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted personal AI assistant that runs on your own hardware (Mac, Windows, or Linux). It automates everyday tasks including clearing inboxes, sending emails, managing calendars, checking flight status, and controlling smart home devices. The assistant communicates through chat platforms you already use—WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage—making it accessible wherever you are.

The tool works by giving the AI full system access to read and write files, run commands, and execute scripts. It maintains persistent memory to learn your preferences and context over time, and can browse the web, fill forms, and extract data. Users can extend functionality through community skills or build custom extensions, with the AI capable of even writing its own skills. A notable limitation is that it can consume significant API tokens, particularly when using hosted LLMs, which may impact usage costs for active deployments.
