Overview

OpenClaw connects chat apps to coding agents like Pi through a single Gateway process. It powers the OpenClaw assistant and supports local or remote setups.

Architecture

Chat apps + plugins → Gateway → Pi agent, CLI, Web Control UI, macOS app, iOS and Android nodes

The Gateway serves as the single source of truth for sessions, routing, and channel connections.

  • Plugin channels - Extend with Mattermost and additional packages
  • Multi-agent routing - Isolated sessions per agent, workspace, or sender
  • Media support - Send and receive images, audio, and documents
  • Web Control UI - Browser dashboard for chat, config, sessions, and nodes
  • Mobile nodes - Pair iOS and Android devices with Canvas support

Installation Steps

npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
