What is OpenClaw?
Your questions answered — whether you just want a handy AI assistant or you're ready to build something powerful.
Think of it as your personal AI assistant — always on
OpenClaw is a piece of software that gives you your own AI agent: a smart helper you can chat with on Telegram (or WhatsApp), ask questions, give tasks, and it will work through them for you — 24 hours a day, even while you sleep.
You bring your own AI key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google). Your conversations never pass through us — they go directly to the AI provider you trust.
Connect your own Telegram bot. Then just message it like a friend — ask it to summarise articles, draft emails, explain things, search the web, or remind you of tasks.
It lives on a server — not your phone or laptop. That means it's always available, never drains your battery, and responds even when you're offline.
Your instance is yours alone — a dedicated server, not shared infrastructure. Nobody else can see your conversations or your data.

What can you actually do with it?
📰 Research & summaries
Send a URL, get a clean summary. Ask follow-up questions. Have it compare two sources.
✍️ Writing help
Draft emails, rewrite paragraphs, check grammar, translate text — just ask in plain language.
🗓️ Reminders & notes
Store things to remember. Ask "what did I tell you about X last week?" and get the answer.
🔍 Web search
Ask it to look something up. It searches the web and brings back a clean answer.
🧮 Quick calculations
Currency conversions, percentages, date differences, unit conversions — instantly.
💡 Brainstorming
Give it context about your project and ask for ideas, names, angles, or a devil's advocate view.
