OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that runs on any operating system and platform, installed globally through npm. Its onboarding sets up a Gateway daemon (a launchd or systemd user service) so the assistant stays running and reachable in the background, and a Control UI plus a skills ecosystem round out the experience. Reach for OpenClaw when you want a persistent, locally-run AI assistant you fully control rather than a hosted service.
