Independent project. OpenClaw is not built by Agent Pattern School — this page explains what it is so you can choose Level 1 with confidence. Canonical install, docs, and updates: openclaw.ai.
OpenClaw
Clears your inbox, sends emails, manages your calendar, checks you in for flights.
All from WhatsApp, Telegram, or any chat app you already use.
OpenClaw partners with VirusTotal for skill security — see openclaw.ai for announcements.
Works everywhere. Installs everything. (Official one-liner — run on macOS, Linux, or Windows.)
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
The installer can set up Node.js and dependencies. Alternatives (npm, “hackable” install, platform guides) are on the official site.
One-liner · npm · Hackable · macOS · Linux · Windows
Mac, Windows, or Linux. Anthropic, OpenAI, or local models. Private by default — your data stays yours.
WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage — DMs and group chats.
Remembers you and becomes uniquely yours: preferences, context, continuity.
Browse, fill forms, extract data from sites.
Files, shell, scripts — full access or sandboxed, your choice.
Community skills or your own; the agent can extend itself.
Examples — see the site for the full list (50+).
A small sample from the community (public posts). Many more on X and Discord.

Examples people share — patterns similar to what we teach in the course (agents, skills, real work).
Multiple machines, Discord-driven fleet: email, decks, CLI tools, ads, posts, Codex workers.
Timeblocking, weekly reviews, meeting prep, family deadlines, invoices.
Diagnose builds, change configs, redeploy, open PR — over voice while away from desk.
Mail, messages, orders, reminders, GitHub, bookmarks, calls, vault workflows.
Documentation, GitHub, community Discord, and skill hub (ClawHub) live on the official site. Agent Pattern School teaches patterns (memory, security, revenue) that pair well with OpenClaw — start with Agent Architect Kit, then Level 1.
Discord and install paths are linked from the official site and README.
This page is about OpenClaw. If you decide to migrate later, use this as the practical next-step guide.
Use this if your OpenClaw setup is mostly clean and you want the fastest migration.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash hermes --version hermes claw migrate hermes doctor hermes
Preview only, no writes:
hermes claw migrate --dry-run
Use this if your OpenClaw config is overloaded with old experiments and unused integrations.
hermes profile create myprofile hermes -p myprofile config path hermes -p myprofile config env-path
systemctl --user restart hermes-gateway.hermes whatsapp.hermes status and hermes doctor.hermes claw cleanup.Migration typically carries persona, memory, skills, API keys, model configs, MCP servers, messaging tokens, TTS settings, and session behavior policies.
