OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that runs on your own devices. It bridges messaging services (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, iMessage, and more) to AI coding agents through a centralized gateway.
## Install
Install [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai/)
```bash
npm install -g openclaw@latest
```
Then run the onboarding wizard:
```bash
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
```
<Note>OpenClaw requires a larger context window. It is recommended to use a context window of at least 64k tokens. See [Context length](/context-length) for more information.</Note>
## Usage with Ollama
### Quick setup
## Quick start
```bash
ollama launch openclaw
```
Ollama handles everything automatically:
1. **Install** — If OpenClaw isn't installed, Ollama prompts to install it via npm
2. **Security** — On the first launch, a security notice explains the risks of tool access
3. **Model** — Pick a model from the selector (local or cloud)
4. **Onboarding** — Ollama configures the provider, installs the gateway daemon, and sets your model as the primary
5. **Gateway** — Starts in the background and opens the OpenClaw TUI
<Note>OpenClaw requires a larger context window. It is recommended to use a context window of at least 64k tokens if using local models. See [Context length](/context-length) for more information.</Note>
<Note>Previously known as Clawdbot. `ollama launch clawdbot` still works as an alias.</Note>
This configures OpenClaw to use Ollama and starts the gateway.
If the gateway is already running, no changes need to be made as the gateway will auto-reload the changes.
## Configure without launching
To change the model without starting the gateway and TUI:
To configure without launching:
```shell
```bash
ollama launch openclaw --config
```
## Recommended Models
To use a specific model directly:
- `qwen3-coder`
- `glm-4.7`
- `gpt-oss:20b`
- `gpt-oss:120b`
```bash
ollama launch openclaw --model kimi-k2.5:cloud
```
If the gateway is already running, it restarts automatically to pick up the new model.
## Recommended models
**Cloud models**:
- `kimi-k2.5:cloud` — Multimodal reasoning with subagents
- `minimax-m2.5:cloud` — Fast, efficient coding and real-world productivity
- `glm-5:cloud` — Reasoning and code generation
**Local models:**
- `glm-4.7-flash` — Reasoning and code generation locally (~25 GB VRAM)
More models at [ollama.com/search](https://ollama.com/search?c=cloud).
## Connect messaging apps
```bash
openclaw configure --section channels
```
Link WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, or iMessage to chat with your local models from anywhere.
## Stopping the gateway
```bash
openclaw gateway stop
```
Cloud models are also available at [ollama.com/search?c=cloud](https://ollama.com/search?c=cloud).
