Clawbolt is an open-source messaging-first AI assistant built specifically for contractors, tradespeople, and service businesses that prefer managing work through chat instead of traditional dashboards. The platform allows users to interact with an AI assistant through iMessage, SMS, RCS, Telegram, and related messaging channels to handle tasks such as estimates, invoices, scheduling, reminders, and client communication. Clawbolt combines large language model orchestration with memory systems, file storage integrations, and tool-calling workflows to create an assistant capable of managing real operational tasks instead of only answering prompts. The project supports integrations with QuickBooks Online, Google Calendar, Dropbox, and Google Drive, enabling automated business workflows tied directly to conversations. Its architecture is built with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, and modular LLM provider support, allowing both cloud and self-hosted deployments.
