Moltbot

What is Moltbot?

Moltbot (formerly ClawdBot) is an open-source personal assistant platform that operates on your own hardware rather than cloud servers, maintaining your data privacy by default. The system runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, integrating seamlessly with popular messaging platforms including WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage. Unlike traditional chatbots that respond passively to user queries, Moltbot functions as a proactive digital assistant capable of initiating contact, monitoring systems, and executing automated tasks. The platform supports multiple large language models from providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and local alternatives, allowing users to choose their preferred inference engine. At its core, Moltbot operates through a gateway architecture that coordinates messaging channels, manages persistent user context and preferences, and executes both simple and complex automation workflows through its extensible skills system.
