Your personal AI assistant is ready to configure. Complete the setup to start using Moltbot with your favorite chat apps and unlock powerful automation capabilities.
Moltbot is an open-source personal AI assistant that runs entirely on your local machine. Think of it as a "smart model with eyes and hands at a desk" that you can interact with through your favorite chat apps.
Your data stays on your machine by default. Unlike cloud-based services, you maintain complete control over your information and conversations.
Moltbot maintains context 24/7 across all conversations, developing a personalized understanding of your preferences and needs over time.
Interact via WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, or iMessage. Use it from your phone or computer in direct messages or group chats.
Moltbot can browse the web, complete forms, and interact with websites on your behalf.
Full read/write access to your filesystem for document processing and file management.
Execute shell commands and system operations with configurable sandbox levels.
Run autonomous tasks and set up cron jobs that work even when you're not actively chatting.
Connect with Spotify, Gmail, GitHub, Obsidian, Twitter, and dozens more services.
Browse community-built skills on ClawdHub, or let Moltbot write and deploy its own extensions through natural language requests. It can literally modify itself to add new capabilities.
