Openclaw is the open-source personal and team AI assistant that lives on your own computer. Message it from Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp, and it remembers everything, builds its own skills, and works in the background 24/7. Catalyft installs, configures, and supports Openclaw for your team, so you get an always-on AI teammate without the setup overhead.
Openclaw is an open-source AI assistant changing the way humans interact with AI agents. Unlike a chatbot you visit in a browser, Openclaw runs continuously on your own hardware (a Mac, PC, a server, or even a Raspberry Pi) and you talk to it from the apps your team already uses every day.
It has persistent memory, a growing library of community-built skills, and the ability to take action: send emails, control browsers, query APIs, run code, manage calendars, and trigger workflows. Because the brain, memory, and skills all live on your machine, nothing about your team is locked inside someone else's walled garden.
Catalyft handles the complexity (hardware selection, installation, comms integration, custom skills, persona setup, and ongoing maintenance) so your team gets a ready-to-use AI teammate from day one.
Runs on a Mac, PC, a server, or even a Raspberry Pi inside your network. You own the install, the data, and the upgrade path.
Connects to Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and the terminal, so you can message Openclaw the same way you'd message a coworker.
Remembers context across every channel and conversation. New skills are added by your team or built by Openclaw itself.
Cron jobs, reminders, heartbeats, monitoring loops. Openclaw works in the background, not just when you ping it.
We handle every stage of the process. You don't need an internal AI team; that's what we're here for.
We learn how your team works, which channels you live in (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, or other), and which tools and APIs Openclaw should be able to reach.
We pick the right host (Mac, PC, a server, or even a Raspberry Pi) and install Openclaw on your network with the model backend that fits your budget and privacy needs.
We connect Openclaw to Gmail, Calendar, your CRM, internal docs, and any custom APIs. We build the bespoke skills your workflows need.
Together we shape Openclaw's persona, voice, and proactive behaviors. Your team is onboarded with documentation, examples, and admin controls.
We monitor your installation, push Openclaw updates, build new skills as your needs grow, and stay on call when something needs a human eye.
