IronClaw

AstrBot is an open source, cross-platform Agentic AI assistant and chatbot platform built for chats, automation, and smart collaboration. It runs directly in messaging apps and provides an agent runtime with Sub-Agents, complex workflows, tool calls, context management, scheduled tasks, runtime controls, and isolated agent sandboxes for real actions. Native MCP and Skills support expands AI capabilities, while a plugin-driven architecture provides access to more than 1,000 community extensions for productivity, group operations, content workflows, and external integrations. AstrBot supports OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI-compatible providers with flexible model switching, as well as text generation, vision, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and embeddings. Its built-in knowledge base supports PDF, DOCX, and Markdown parsing, hybrid dense and BM25 retrieval, and references to multiple knowledge bases in a single conversation.

OpenClaw is an open source autonomous personal AI assistant agent you run on your own computer, server, or VPS that goes beyond just generating text by actually performing real tasks you tell it to do in natural language through familiar chat platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and others. It connects to external large language models and services while prioritizing local-first execution and data control on your infrastructure so the agent can clear your inbox, send emails, manage your calendar, check you in for flights, interact with files, run scripts, and automate everyday workflows without needing predefined triggers or cloud-hosted assistants; it maintains persistent memory (remembering context across sessions) and can run continuously to proactively coordinate tasks and reminders. It supports integrations with messaging apps and community-built “skills,” letting users extend its capabilities and route different agents or tools through isolated workspaces.
