ClawAgent smart AI gateway

AI that doesn't just answer questions — it actually gets work done.

xClaw agent


xClaw — a lightweight agent that helps you get work done

AI shouldn't only chat — it should actually finish work for you. xClaw lets agents think, call tools, browse the web, operate terminals, connect to hardware, and keep working across channels — all on your machines, your data, and your infrastructure.

  • 20+ LLM providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
  • 30+ channels: Discord, Telegram, Matrix, email, voice, Webhook, CLI, and more — all into one agent loop.
  • Rich toolchain: Shell, browser, HTTP, hardware peripherals, and custom MCP servers — ready out of the box.

Use cases

Personal AI assistant

Run a dedicated agent on your own devices for chat, research, and work assistance — data and keys never leave your machine.

Unified multi-channel access

Messages from Discord, Telegram, email, Webhook, CLI, and more feed into one agent — configure once, respond everywhere.

Enterprise digital workers

Connect business APIs and knowledge bases to build auditable, controllable smart support and automated workflows.

MCP / tool orchestration

Shell, browser, HTTP, hardware, and MCP servers work together so agents can safely call local and remote capabilities.

Multi-model with failover

Pluggable model providers with fallback chains and routing — if one endpoint is down, the agent keeps running.

Private and edge deployment

Deploy a single binary on Linux, macOS, Windows, or containers; also connect Raspberry Pi and other hardware peripherals.


Why xClaw

Security first

Supervised autonomy by default: medium-risk actions need approval, high-risk ones are blocked; workspace boundaries, command policies, and OS-level sandboxes (Landlock / Bubblewrap / Seatbelt / Docker) protect every layer.

Fully auditable

Every tool call carries encrypted tool receipts — operations are logged and verifiable for compliance and troubleshooting.

Single binary, minimal deploy

One install command or build from source; zeroclaw quickstart walks you through setup, or register as a systemd / launchd service.

Gateway and console

HTTP / WebSocket gateway plus a web console: chat, memory browsing, config editing, Cron management, and tool checks — ops in one place.


Gateway, SOP, and IDE in one

Channels, Gateway, and ACP (Agent Client Protocol) all plug into the xClaw runtime: the agent loop, security policies, and SOP engine work together to dispatch model providers, tools, and SQLite memory storage. Supports MQTT / Webhook / Cron and other event-triggered standard operating procedures (SOP) with approval gates and resumable execution; connects to IDEs and editors via ACP using JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio.

xClaw architecture overview


Runs everywhere

A single Rust binary with a small memory footprint — integrate on bare metal, in containers, or into existing CI/CD pipelines. Connect to cloud APIs and self-hosted inference such as local Ollama; Raspberry Pi, STM32, Arduino, ESP32, and more can be extended via the Peripheral trait.

  • Software platforms: Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, Docker, NixOS
  • Hardware architectures: x86, ARM, RISC-V, Raspberry Pi, STM32, ESP32

Quick start

Ready to run your own agent?

From quickstart to a long-running service, you can launch xClaw on your own machine in minutes. You own the agent, you own the data, you own the machine that runs it.
