The project launched as Clawdbot, was briefly called Moltbot, and is now OpenClaw (many people still call it "Claw Bot"). If a guide mentions any of those names, it’s talking about the same thing.
What is OpenClaw (Claw Bot)?
If you’ve seen the names OpenClaw, Claw Bot, Clawdbot and Moltbot and wondered whether they’re different tools — they’re not. It’s one project that was renamed. Here’s the plain-English explanation.
One project, several names
What OpenClaw actually is
OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted personal AI assistant. It runs on your own server and talks to you and your customers through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and a web dashboard — answering questions, booking appointments, finding leads and more.
How to get it running
You can install it yourself (command line, Node.js, configuration) or have EnterClaw do the whole thing for you and hand you a working assistant. Add ready-made roles from our 300+ agent pack to skip the setup entirely.
