There are only two moments in my life when I felt this kind of excitement.
The first was the night Game of Thrones aired its final episode.
The second was the day ChatGPT dropped and the entire internet collectively said, “Wait… what?”
Since then?
Thousands of AI tools.
Hundreds of “revolutionary” launches.
Dozens of videos made.
Excitement? Mostly gone.
Until Clawdbot.
This is not hype. This is not exaggeration.
This is the first AI tool after ChatGPT that genuinely made me stop everything, stay awake for two nights straight, and say:
“Yeh cheez alag hai.”
Clawdbot doesn’t just talk.
It works.
It doesn’t reply.
It acts.
And once you understand what it actually does, your relationship with “AI assistants” will permanently change.
Let’s kill the confusion early.
Clawdbot is not:
Another chatbot
Another SaaS dashboard
Another “ask me anything” AI
Clawdbot is a local, open-source AI agent that runs on your own computer and can control it like a human.
Think of it like this:
You didn’t install an app.
You hired a digital employee who lives inside your laptop.
It can:
Open software
Browse the web (silently, in the background)
Read emails
Write documents
Build presentations
Edit videos
Create images
Post on social media
Run code
Automate tasks
Remember instructions
And talk to you via WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.
And yes — it’s open source.
No big corporation. No hidden agenda. No locked ecosystem.
Just raw power.
Here’s the wild part.
This project was created by an independent developer named Peter, open-sourced from day one. No hype machine. No VC funding circus.
And yet:
Covered by major tech platforms
Flooded with Trustpilot 5-star reviews
Talked about by creators like Matt Wolfe
Went from 10,000 followers to 200,000+ in days
Not because of marketing.
Because people installed it…
…and then couldn’t shut up about it.
That’s usually a good sign.
Here it is:
ChatGPT tells you what to do.
Clawdbot actually does it for you.
That’s the difference.
When you install Clawdbot, you’re giving it controlled access to your computer.
It:
Sees your screen
Uses your keyboard & mouse
Understands software interfaces
Runs commands
Connects to AI models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, local models, etc.)
You don’t sit in front of your laptop.
You send instructions from your phone.
And your computer obeys.
That’s it. That’s the magic.
Clawdbot is powerful.
Very powerful.
Which means one rule is non-negotiable:
Do NOT install it on your personal daily-use computer.
Why?
Your Gmail might be logged in
Your files are accessible
Your sessions are active
Not because Clawdbot is unsafe — but because you don’t give a robot the keys to your house on day one.
I personally tested it on a separate Mac
…and I’m buying a dedicated M-series machine just for it.
Treat it like a server. Not a toy.
No drama. No nonsense.
You’ll see a one-line command on the homepage.
macOS / Linux → Terminal
Windows → Command Prompt / PowerShell
Paste the command. Hit Enter.
Clawdbot will:
Download core files
Install plugins
Set up agents
Prepare the environment
This part is automatic. Go get coffee.
You’ll be asked:
Can Clawdbot access your system? → Yes
Which AI agent do you want? → OpenAI / Claude / Gemini / others
API key or account login? → Your choice
This is where it gets fun.
You can connect Clawdbot to:
Telegram
Discord
Other messengers
No developer account required.
No WhatsApp API drama.
You literally pair it like WhatsApp Web.
During setup, Clawdbot asks questions like:
What should I call myself?
How should I talk?
What tone do you want?
Emojis or no emojis?
Country? Timezone?
I named mine Basanti.
She lives inside my laptop.
I talk to her on WhatsApp.
She works. I relax.
Fair deal.
Read this carefully.
Clawdbot remembers everything.
Not session memory.
Not chat memory.
Real memory.
You tell it:
“I’m a content creator”
“My YouTube channel is BeyondTahir”
“Write scripts in my tone”
“Remind me after 2 days”
You close your laptop.
Shut it down.
Open it again.
It remembers.
Tell ChatGPT to do that. I’ll wait.
Checked Google for anime release dates
Confirmed Solo Leveling Season 2 availability
Wrote YouTube scripts
Prepared content ideas
Opened CapCut
Imported videos
Drafted documents
Browsed silently (no visible browser popups)
All from WhatsApp.
Laptop untouched.
You can:
Pair multiple WhatsApp numbers
Let multiple people use the same machine
Turn one laptop into a shared AI workstation
Imagine:
Editor edits video
Writer drafts content
Manager checks emails
One machine.
Different chats.
Same AI brain.
Because for the first time:
AI is not locked in a browser
AI is not asking you questions endlessly
AI is not waiting for prompts
It works while you live your life.
You can tell it:
“In 5 days, make a presentation from this Word file”
“When I get an email from X, notify me on WhatsApp”
“Post this image on Instagram”
“Build a website”
“Edit a video”
“Schedule tasks”
“Run code”
“Automate my workflow”
Sky is not the limit.
Your hardware is.
Here’s the complete step-by-step walkthrough where I show everything live:
If you’re serious about understanding Clawdbot — watch this.
Shifted AI from chat to action
Made local AI powerful again
Removed dependency on cloud-only SaaS
Proved open source can still win
Forced people to rethink “assistants”
This is not a tool.
This is a category shift.
Every few years, a tool appears that changes behavior, not just technology.
Clawdbot is one of those.
You won’t understand it by reading specs.
You won’t feel it by watching demos.
You have to install it.
And once you do…
Don’t blame me for sleepless nights.
