Clawdbot AI
Moltbot AI is an open-source personal AI assistant that runs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It integrates with popular chat platforms, automates browser tasks, manages files, and can execute shell commands — all while keeping user data private. Developed by Peter Steinberger, Clawdbot AI emphasizes local-first privacy, extensibility through skills/plugins, and multi-model support.
