Claude Fable 5.1
Anthropic's advanced large language model for complex coding, in-depth knowledge work, and long-running problem-solving tasks.
OpenClaw acts as a single gateway process that connects to various chat applications, including Discord, iMessage, Signal, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, WebChat, and more, with additional channels available via plugins.
The AI assistant runs directly on the user's machine (macOS, Windows, Linux), providing full control over data and operations without relying on external hosted services.
Built specifically for coding agents, OpenClaw supports advanced functionalities like tool use, isolated sessions per agent, memory management, and multi-agent routing.
Users can access a browser-based dashboard for managing chat interactions, configuring settings, viewing sessions, and monitoring nodes.
The platform allows users to teach the agent repeatable procedures (skills) that it can load on demand, and automate workflows with cron jobs, hooks, and webhooks for scheduled tasks.
OpenClaw provides a plugin SDK, enabling users to write their own channel, provider, and tool plugins to extend the functionality and integrate with more services.
Users can pair iOS and Android mobile nodes to enable camera, screen, and voice-enabled workflows, expanding the agent's interaction capabilities.
