Moltbot AI Tool Overview

‍‌​WhAt is Moltbot?

Moltbot (formerly known as Clawdbot) is a free and open-source personal AI assistant that runs directly on your own computer—whether macOS, Windows, or Linux. Unlike cloud-based assistants, Moltbot operates locally, giving you full control over your data, privacy, and automation workflows.
You interact with Moltbot through familiar chat apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, or Discord. Just send it a message—like “organize my Downloads folder” or “debug this Python script”—and Moltbot will execute the task on your machine, using real system access, just like a human would.
Powered by leading AI models from anthropic, OpenAI, or local LLMs (via OLlama, LM Studio, etc.), Moltbot combines intelligence with action. It doesn’t just chat—it does.

Key Features

  • Real Task Execution:
    Moltbot can read/write files, run terminal commands, fix code, send emAIls, manage calendars, and even control smart home devices—all triggered from a chat message.

  • persistent memory:
    It remembers your preferences, past conversations, and learned skills across sessions, building a personalized “second brain” that evolves with you.

  • Self-Improving Skills:
    Teach Moltbot a new workflow once (e.g., “export my Notion pages to PDF weekly”), and it can turn that into a reusable, automated skill—no coding required.

  • Runs Locally, Stays Private:
    Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly allow it. No vendor lock-in, no surveillance, no hidden APIs.

  • Multi-Platform Chat Integration:
    Connect via WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Discord, and more through a built-in gateway. All messages are end-to-end encrypted when supported by the platform.

  • Extensible & Hackable:
    Add custom plugins for web scraping, browser automation, API integrations, or hardware control. Developers can extend Moltbot in JavaScript/TypeScript or let Moltbot write its own tools.

  • Agent Collaboration:
    Spin up multiple specialized agents (e.g., one for coding, one for research) that collaborate behind the scenes—controlled from a single chat thread.

  • Automation & Scheduling:
    Set up cron-like jobs: “Every Monday at 9 AM, summarize my inbox and post to Slack.”


How It Works

  1. Install the CLI via a one-liner:

  2. curl -fsSL https://molt.bot/install.sh | bash2
  3. Onboard with moltbot onboard—connect your preferred AI model, set up chat channels, and configure security.

  4. Message your bot from any linked chat app—and watch it work on your behalf in real time.

  5. Extend its capabilities by installing community skills or writing your own.


Use Cases

  • 🧠 Personal Productivity: Automate repetitive tasks—file cleanup, email triage, meeting notes.

  • 💻 Developer Workflow: Run tests, debug errors, generate PR descriptions, or deploy services via chat.

  • 🏠 Smart Home & Life Automation: Trigger scripts based on time, location, or messages (“Turn off lights when I say ‘goodnight’”).

  • 📚 Learning & Research: Summarize papers, extract insights from PDFs, or build flashcards from lecture notes.

  • 🎨 Creative Projects: Generate images, draft blog posts, edit videos, or manage social media—all hands-free.


Get Started

Note: Despite the rebrand to Moltbot, the official domain remains clawd.bot during the transition.
