OpenClaw is a local-first personal AI assistant built around a single Gateway that routes between LLMs, messaging channels, and tools. You run it once, connect the apps you already use, and it lives on every platform at the same time, reachable from whichever inbox you happen to open.
Under the hood it ships as a Node.js package with a CLI onboarding wizard, a plugin system, and first-class tools for browser, cron, and a live Canvas for agent-driven work. LaunchPod provisions it with the latest release on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VM, no Docker involved.
What you get when you run OpenClaw on LaunchPod.
OpenClaw connects out of the box to these platforms. Add or remove them any time from your instance.
