## Overview
> **"EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!"** — A space lobster, probably
OpenClaw is a **self-hosted gateway** that connects your favorite chat apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more — to AI agents. You run a single Gateway process on your own machine (or a server), and it becomes the bridge between your messaging apps and an always-available AI assistant.
### Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Self-hosted** | Runs on your hardware, your rules, your data |
| **Multi-channel** | One Gateway serves WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more |
| **Agent-native** | Built for coding agents with tool use, sessions, and memory |
| **Open source** | MIT licensed, community-driven |
| **First-class tools** | Browser, canvas, nodes, cron, web search, and more |
### System Requirements
- **Node.js 22+** (the installer script will install it if missing)
- **OS**: macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2 recommended for Windows)
