What Clawbot is
Clawbot is an open-source personal AI assistant that runs on hardware controlled by the user and is built on the principles of autonomy, privacy, and practicality. It aims to break traditional AI's dependence on the cloud, giving users data sovereignty.

What to watch out for
Clawbot is free, but self-hosting requires real technical setup and ongoing maintenance, so there is a learning cost. Because it can execute shell commands and control your system, improper permissions or skills can create security risks, so set trust boundaries carefully. Skills and models depend on community and third-party sources, which can vary in quality and availability. Generated suggestions are for reference only, so verify anything that affects professional judgment or important data. Start with a small sample to confirm the output meets your expectations before processing the full batch. Save a backup of the original file before large batch jobs, and keep an exported copy of key results in case the page or service becomes temporarily unavailable.
