\n Any OS gateway for AI agents across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more.
\n Send a message, get an agent response from your pocket. Plugins add Mattermost and more.\n

\n\n\n \n Install OpenClaw and bring up the Gateway in minutes.\n \n\n\n Guided setup with `openclaw onboard` and pairing flows.\n \n\n\n Launch the browser dashboard for chat, config, and sessions.\n \n\n\nOpenClaw connects chat apps to coding agents like Pi through a single Gateway process. It powers the OpenClaw assistant and supports local or remote setups.\n\nThe Gateway is the single source of truth for sessions, routing, and channel connections.\n\n\n \n WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and iMessage with a single Gateway process.\n \n\n\n Add Mattermost and more with extension packages.\n \n\n\n Isolated sessions per agent, workspace, or sender.\n \n\n\n Send and receive images, audio, and documents.\n \n\n\n Browser dashboard for chat, config, sessions, and nodes.\n \n\n\n Pair iOS and Android nodes with Canvas support.\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\nNeed the full install and dev setup? See [Quick start](/start/quickstart).\n\nOpen the browser Control UI after the Gateway starts.\n\n* Local default: [http://127.0.0.1:18789/](http://127.0.0.1:18789/)\n* Remote access: [Web surfaces](/web) and [Tailscale](/gateway/tailscale)\n\n
