Get Started in 30 MinutesWhat's New
The newest additions to OpenClaw's arsenal of capabilities. Each release brings powerful new ways to automate your life and work.
OpenClaw now speaks with emotion and personality. Using ElevenLabs integration, your assistant can narrate stories, read emails with proper intonation, and respond with natural-sounding voice messages that match the context. Perfect for voice-first interactions on Telegram and WhatsApp.
Programmatically invoke any OpenClaw skill via HTTP. Build webhooks, connect to Zapier or Make, or integrate OpenClaw into your existing automation pipelines. Full authentication support and detailed response handling make it perfect for developers building on top of OpenClaw.
Fine-grained control over which channels receive heartbeat updates. Keep Discord active while Telegram stays quiet, or vice versa. Manage exactly where and when OpenClaw proactively checks in with you—no more notification overload.
One-click deployment to Fly.io's global edge network. Run OpenClaw close to your users with automatic SSL, persistent volumes, and seamless scaling. Ideal for teams who want managed infrastructure without sacrificing control.
OpenClaw now automatically discovers available models on Amazon Bedrock. No more manual configuration—just connect your AWS credentials and OpenClaw finds every Claude, Llama, and Mistral model available in your account. Switch between models instantly.
Core Capabilities
OpenClaw isn't just a chatbot—it's a full-featured automation platform that runs on your infrastructure, respects your privacy, and actually gets things done.
Your data stays on YOUR server. No cloud dependencies, no third-party data collection. OpenClaw processes everything locally—only API calls leave your machine, and those use your own keys.
Full shell access, browser automation with Playwright, and complete file system control. OpenClaw doesn't just suggest—it executes. Run scripts, scrape websites, manage files, all through natural conversation.
Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, and more. Connect through any platform you prefer. Voice messages work seamlessly—just talk and OpenClaw transcribes, processes, and responds.
Browse and install community skills in seconds. From GitHub integration to smart home control, calendar management to travel booking—there's a skill for almost everything.
Use Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4 (OpenAI), Ollama local models, or Amazon Bedrock. Switch between models per-task or set your default. Run completely offline with local models if you prefer.
Allowlists for dangerous commands, confirmation prompts for destructive actions, and complete audit logging. OpenClaw is powerful, but it asks before doing anything irreversible.
