It answers you on the channels you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, BlueBubbles, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, Zalo Personal, WebChat). It can speak and listen on macOS/iOS/Android, and can render a live Canvas you control. The Gateway is just the control plane — the product is the assistant. If you want a personal, single-user assistant that feels local, fast, and always-on, this is it.

The wizard guides you step by step through setting up the gateway, workspace, channels, and skills. The CLI wizard is the recommended path and works on **macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL2; strongly recommended)**. Works with npm, pnpm, or bun. New install?

See [Onboarding](https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/onboarding). ## Models (selection + auth) - Models config + CLI: [Models](https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/models) - Auth profile rotation (OAuth vs API keys) + fallbacks: [Model failover](https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/model-failover) ## Install (recommended) Runtime: **Node ≥22**. ```bash npm install -g openclaw@latest # or: pnpm add -g openclaw@latest openclaw onboard --install-daemon ``` The wizard installs the Gateway daemon (launchd/systemd user service) so it stays running. ## Quick start (TL;DR) Runtime: **Node ≥22**. Full beginner guide (auth, pairing, channels): [Getting started](https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started) ```bash openclaw onboard --install-daemon openclaw gateway --port 18789 --verbose # Send a message openclaw message send --to +1234567890 --message "Hello from OpenClaw" # Talk to the assistant (optionally deliver back to any connected channel: WhatsApp/Telegram/Slack/Discord/Google Chat/Signal/iMessage/BlueBubbles/IRC/Microsoft Teams/Matrix/Feishu/LINE/Mattermost/Nextcloud Talk/Nostr/Synology Chat/Tlon/Twitch/Zalo/Zalo Personal/WebChat) openclaw agent --message "Ship checklist" --thinking high ``` Upgrading? [Updating guide](https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/updating) (and run `openclaw doctor`). ## Development channels - **stable**: tagged releases (`vYYYY.M.D` or `vYYYY.M.D-<patch>`), npm dist-tag `latest`. - **beta**: prerelease tags (`vYYYY.M.D-beta.N`), npm dist-tag `beta` (macOS app may be missing). - **dev**: moving head of `main`, npm dist-tag `dev` (when published). Switch channels (git + npm): `openclaw update --channel stable|beta|dev`. Details: [Development channels](https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/development-channels). ## From source (development) Prefer `pnpm` for builds from source. Bun is optional for running TypeScript directly. ```bash git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git cd openclaw pnpm install pnpm ui:build # auto-installs UI deps on first run pnpm build pnpm openclaw onboard --install-daemon # Dev loop (auto-reload on TS changes) pnpm gateway:watch ``` Note: `pnpm openclaw ...` runs TypeScript directly (via `tsx`). `pnpm build` produces `dist/` for running via Node / the packaged `openclaw` binary. ## Security defaults (DM access) OpenClaw connects to real messaging surfaces. Treat inbound DMs as **untrusted input**. Full security guide: [Security](https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/security) Default behavior on Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams/Discord/Google Chat/Slack: - **DM pairing** (`dmPolicy="pairing"` / `channels.discord.dmPolicy="pairing"` / `channels.slack.dmPolicy="pairing"`; legacy: `channels.discord.dm.policy`, `channels.slack.dm.policy`): unknown senders receive a short pairing code and the bot does not process their message. - Approve with: `openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>` (then the sender is added to a local allowlist store). - Public inbound DMs require an explicit opt-in: set `dmPolicy="open"` and include `"*"` in the channel allowlist (`allowFrom` / `channels.discord.allowFrom` / `channels.slack.allowFrom`; legacy: `channels.discord.dm.allowFrom`, `channels.slack.dm.allowFrom`). Run `openclaw doctor` to surface risky/misconfigured DM policies. ## Highlights - **[Local-first Gateway](https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway)** — single control plane for sessions, channels, tools, and events. - **[Multi-channel inbox](https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels)** — WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, BlueBubbles (iMessage), iMessage (legacy), IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, Zalo Personal, WebChat, macOS, iOS/Android. - **[Multi-agent routing](https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/configuration)** — route inbound channels/accounts/peers to isolated agents (workspaces + per-agent sessions). - **[Voice Wake](https://docs.openclaw.ai/nodes/voicewake) + [Talk Mode](https://docs.openclaw.ai/nodes/talk)** — wake words on macOS/iOS an
