* fix(cloud-workers): honor Crabbox SSH fallback ports Select a currently reachable advertised SSH endpoint before returning a Crabbox worker lease, while preserving fail-closed teardown. Allow deletion of failed cloud sessions only after the environment record proves the provider lease is gone, and align the Cloud Workers docs with the shipped configuration and Control UI flow. * fix(cloud-workers): retry advertised SSH endpoints Persist provider-advertised SSH fallback ports and retry them through the shared pinned transport used by bootstrap, tunnels, reconnects, and workspace transfers. Keep candidate selection provider-neutral, preserve identity and host-key fencing, and add the same-version SQLite column through the existing additive migration path. * fix(crabbox): recheck SSH readiness after setup Treat provider setup as a mutating lifecycle phase: refresh authoritative inspect state and wait for SSH readiness again before returning the lease. This prevents bootstrap from racing setup-triggered SSH restarts on fresh and replayed workers while preserving security attestation and fail-closed teardown. * fix(cloud-workers): retry bootstrap transfers across ports Use the shared advertised-port candidate runner for bundle transfer, install, and best-effort upload cleanup as well as preflight. This keeps fresh bootstrap connections on pinned identity and host-key semantics when a previously selected SSH port disappears between phases. Proof passed: 517 focused tests (1 skipped), final autoreview/TruffleHog clean, targeted lint/format. Full check-changed reached the unrelated max-lines baseline drift on current origin/main: this branch's merge base contains ui/src/pages/chat/components/chat-model-controls.ts while current origin/main removed that baseline entry; do not touch the unrelated baseline. * fix(cloud-workers): persist fallback ports compatibly Create the fallback-port companion table lazily as an additive surface, preserving downgrade tolerance for binaries that still expect the older shared-state schema. * fix(cloud-workers): preserve bundle artifact narrowing Bind the immutable discriminated artifact before the SSH retry callbacks so bundle-only fields remain narrowed across fresh candidate invocations. Use the shared temp-directory owner in the tunnel fallback test for deterministic cleanup. * fix(cloud-workers): retire deleted placements Terminal placement rows retire by exact CAS after session deletion, and managed AWS docs now pin the Gateway SSH CIDR. * fix(crabbox): await pending AWS attestation missing authoritative metadata is pending only while the lease is non-ready; ready leases still require explicit false. * fix(cloud-workers): fence remote command retries require explicit idempotent/never classification; remote worker launch never retries after ambiguous SSH loss. * fix(cloud-workers): bound SSH fallback operations
OpenClaw 🦞 — Your assistant, on your devices, in your chats
OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that runs on your devices and meets you in the channels you already use. It is designed for a single operator and connects models, tools, messaging channels, and optional companion apps through one Gateway.

Install
The installer supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. It provisions a supported Node.js runtime when needed.
# macOS / Linux / WSL2
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
# Windows PowerShell
iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Already manage Node.js? Install the published package instead (Node 22.22.3+, 24.15+, or 25.9+):
npm install -g openclaw@latest
See the installation guide for npm 12 lifecycle-script requirements, Docker, Nix, and other deployment paths.
Quick start
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw gateway status
openclaw dashboard
Onboarding verifies model access, creates the workspace, and configures the Gateway. The last command opens the Control UI; send a message there to confirm the assistant is working. See the getting started guide for channel setup and troubleshooting.
How it fits together
- The Gateway is the local control plane for sessions, tools, events, and channel connections.
- The Control UI, CLI, and TUI connect to the Gateway.
- Channels bring the assistant to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, and other messaging services.
- Companion apps and nodes add voice, Canvas, camera, screen, and device-local actions on supported platforms.
OpenClaw works with hosted and local model providers. Its tools, skills, and plugins extend what an assistant can do.
Security
Treat inbound messages as untrusted input. DM-capable channels pair unknown senders by default; approve a pairing request with openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>.
Tools run on the host for the main session unless you configure sandboxing. Read the security guide, exposure runbook, and sandboxing guide before connecting other users or exposing the Gateway remotely.

Development
The repository is a pnpm workspace. Plain npm install at the repository root is not supported.
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
cd openclaw
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm ui:build
See CONTRIBUTING.md for the contribution workflow and the source setup guide for the development loop.
Community
OpenClaw is developed in the open by the OpenClaw Foundation, a non-profit. See CONTRIBUTING.md for maintainers and contribution guidelines; AI-assisted PRs are welcome.
Use the issue chooser for bugs and feature requests, ask setup questions in Discord, and report vulnerabilities through SECURITY.md. New capabilities usually belong in plugins built on the plugin SDK and shared through ClawHub.
OpenClaw was built for Molty, a space lobster AI assistant, by Peter Steinberger and the community. Explore the project lore, soul.md, Peter's site, Star History, and @openclaw.
Special thanks to Mario Zechner for his support and for pi, and to Adam Doppelt for the lobster.bot domain.
