Introduction to GoClaw

GoClaw is a personal AI assistant written in Go — a full rewrite of the TypeScript OpenClaw project. It runs entirely on infrastructure you control, routes conversations across multiple chat platforms, and takes real-world actions through an extensible skill system.

What GoClaw can do

• Receive messages from Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, and more — simultaneously
• Run an agentic LLM loop with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or local Ollama models
• Remember facts via a two-tier Markdown memory system — daily logs + long-term facts
• Execute shell commands, read/write files, fetch URLs via built-in skills
• Accept custom skills in any language via a gRPC sidecar protocol
• Control a browser via Chrome DevTools Protocol (chromedp)
• Speak via ElevenLabs TTS and listen via Whisper STT
