A self-learning autonomous AI agent that creates and improves skills from experience
About
- An autonomous agent with a built-in self-learning loop: it creates and improves skills on its own during use and progressively deepens its user model across sessions
- Not a coding copilot tied to an IDE or a single-API chatbot wrapper but an autonomous agent that becomes more capable the longer it runs
- Runs without execution-environment constraints, on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure
- Supports many messaging platforms such as CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and Email through a single gateway
- Provides 40+ built-in tools and MCP server connections, and adopts an open-standard skill system compatible with agentskills.io
- A Honcho-based stateful user memory system that accumulates conversation history across sessions, asynchronously infers user tendencies and behavior patterns in the background, and automatically reflects them in agent responses
- FTS5-based cross-session recall; combined with LLM summarization, memories across sessions are searchable
- Built-in automation scheduler; schedule reports, backups, and checks in natural language
- Spawns parallel subagents and handles multi-step pipelines via Python RPC without context cost
- Supports 6 backends including local, Docker, SSH, and Modal
- Freely switch among 200+ models from OpenRouter, OpenAI, Kimi, etc.
- Automatic migration support for OpenClaw users
- Supports Linux, Mac, and Windows (WSL2). Installs automatically with the same command on all of them
