OpenClaw — the open-source AI agent that runs locally and works from the chat apps you already use.
OpenClaw is a free, open-source autonomous AI agent that runs on your own hardware and connects to the messaging apps you already use — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage, and more. It executes shell commands, reads and writes files, browses the web, and manages your calendar. No cloud dependency. DeployLabs deploys, configures, and manages OpenClaw for your personal or business workflows.
What OpenClaw brings to your operations.
Local-First AI Execution
OpenClaw runs entirely on your own machine — Mac, Linux, or VPS. Your data never touches external servers. All AI inference happens locally, giving you full data sovereignty without subscription fees.
Chat App Integration
Connect to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage, Signal, Matrix, Teams, and more. Your AI agent lives in the platforms you already use, so interaction requires no new apps or workflows.
100+ Built-in Skills
OpenClaw ships with 100+ built-in skills covering shell commands, file operations, web browsing, calendar management, email, and system control. Custom skills can be added through its open plugin architecture.
Tool Use and Computer Control
Unlike chat-only AI tools, OpenClaw actually does things — executes commands, writes and reads files, browses the web in real time, manages your calendar, and interacts with your local applications.
The platform gives you the foundation. We build the engine.

Three phases. No templates. No shortcuts.
Deploy
We install OpenClaw on your machine or VPS, connect your chat platforms, and configure your AI model stack. We select the right local or cloud models for your use case and budget.
1–2 weeksConfigure
We configure your skills and workflows — calendar agents, email triage, research bots, reminders, or whatever matches your actual use cases. Each agent is scoped and tested before going live.
2–3 weeksOperate
Post-launch monitoring tracks agent performance, skill reliability, and message throughput. Monthly reviews optimize workflows and add new skills as your use cases evolve.

Local Data Sovereignty
OpenClaw runs entirely on your hardware. No data leaves your machine unless you explicitly configure it to. Your conversations, files, and calendar data stay under your control.
Local-First AI · Data SovereigntyOpen-Source Transparency
Every line of OpenClaw's code is publicly auditable. No black-box dependencies. Security researchers can verify the codebase, and vulnerabilities can be identified and patched by the community.
Open Source · Community AuditingPermission Scoping
OpenClaw skills operate within scoped permissions. We configure least-privilege access per skill — file operations are scoped to specific directories, shell commands require explicit allowlists, and network access is restricted.

What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is a free, open-source autonomous AI agent developed by Peter Steinberger. It runs on your own machine and connects to chat apps you already use. Unlike cloud AI tools, it executes real actions — running commands, managing files, browsing the web — without a subscription or data leaving your machine.
How is OpenClaw different from ChatGPT or Claude?
ChatGPT and Claude respond to questions. OpenClaw acts on your behalf — it executes commands, manages your files, books meetings, sends messages, and follows up autonomously. It runs continuously, lives in your existing chat apps, and processes data locally.
What does OpenClaw cost?
OpenClaw itself is free and open-source. You pay only for the AI inference — either running local open-source models (free, using your own hardware) or connecting to an API like OpenAI or Anthropic (typically $30–80/month depending on usage). DeployLabs deployment and configuration is a one-time build fee.
Is OpenClaw secure?
Open-source agents require proper configuration to be secure — like any powerful tool. Out of the box, OpenClaw needs skill scoping, permission restrictions, and credential management. DeployLabs configures all of this as part of the deployment, following the same hardening practices used for enterprise agent deployments.
