Clawdbot — now officially called Moltbot — is a personal AI assistant platform that’s designed to do real tasks for you, not just chat. When you visit https://clawd.bot/ today, you’ll see the landing page under the Moltbot name, with the tagline:

“The AI that actually does things.” (Clawd)

In short, it’s an open-source AI agent you run on your own machine that can:

• Manage your inbox
• Send emails and messages
• Manage your calendar
• Check you in for flights
• Work across apps you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Discord, Slack, Signal, etc.)
  All from the places you already chat every day. (Clawd)

Unlike typical cloud-hosted chatbots (like ChatGPT on a website), Moltbot:

• Lives on your own computer or server — you host it yourself. (统一通信策略)
• Integrates directly with your regular messaging apps. (Moltbot)
• Remembers context over time (persistent memory). (统一通信策略)
• Can automate tasks or trigger real actions — like cleaning up your inbox or responding for you across services — not just generate text replies. (Hunto AI)

How It Works (In Simple Terms)

Moltbot acts as a “gateway” between:

1. Your messaging apps (where you talk to it),
2. AI models under the hood (like Claude, GPT, local models), and
3. Your machine or cloud server where it runs. (统一通信策略)

Think of it like:

A virtual assistant that lives inside your chats and can operate on your behalf, accessing tools, apps, and data systems you authorize — rather than just answering text prompts. (统一通信策略)

Key Features

✔ Self-hosted & open source — you control where it runs. (统一通信策略)
✔ Works across multiple messaging platforms. (Moltbot)
✔ Persistent memory — it remembers preferences, routines, and ongoing contexts. (统一通信策略)
✔ Proactivity and automation — it can notify you and act on your behalf. (统一通信策略)
✔ Integration with tools and browser actions — enabling it to execute real tasks beyond responses. (Clawd)

Some users describe Moltbot as “your AI assistant inside your existing chats, doing actual work for you” rather than being just another online chatbot. (统一通信策略)

The Name Change: Clawdbot → Moltbot

Although the website used to be branded Clawdbot, its creator renamed it to Moltbot following a trademark concern related to another AI brand’s assets. The core project and capabilities remain the same — only the name changed due to that request. (Business Insider)

Why the Hype?

Moltbot has become popular (especially among developers and AI enthusiasts) because it represents a new kind of personal AI — not a distant cloud service, but an assistant that runs on your own hardware, connects into your everyday tools, remembers context, and can act on your behalf. (统一通信策略)
