Introduction
What is Moltbot?
Moltbot is a personal AI assistant designed to run directly on your own devices (Mac, Windows, or Linux). It's not a cloud service; it's a private AI that operates from your machine, ensuring your data stays yours by default.
Core Philosophy
The assistant is built to be an "AI that actually does things." It moves beyond simple conversation to perform real-world tasks like managing your inbox, sending emails, checking you in for flights, and controlling your system—all initiated from the chat apps you already use.
The Moltbot Ecosystem
Formerly known as Clawdbot, Moltbot is an independent project powered by a community. It connects to over 50+ services and can be extended with custom skills, making it a uniquely hackable and personalizable AI companion.
Features
Privacy-First & On-Device
Moltbot runs locally on your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine. You can use models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or run local models. Your conversations, data, and context never leave your control unless you explicitly configure it otherwise.
Omnichannel Communication
Interact with your AI assistant on the messaging platforms you already use: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, and WebChat. It also supports extension channels like BlueBubbles, Matrix, Zalo, and more.
Action-Oriented Skills
Moltbot excels at completing tasks. It can clear your inbox, send emails, manage your calendar, check you in for flights, control smart home devices (like Hue), interact with Spotify, manage GitHub, and browse the web to fill forms or extract data.
Full System Integration
Grant it full or sandboxed access to read/write files, run shell commands, and execute scripts. It can render a live Canvas you control on macOS/iOS/Android and offers both a CLI and a macOS Companion App for menubar access.
Persistent Memory & Extensibility
The assistant remembers you and adapts to your preferences and context. It can be extended with community-built skills from the ClawdHub or you can build your own. It's even capable of writing its own skills.
