OpenClaw is a self-hosted autonomous AI agent platform that connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Discord through a unified Gateway control plane. It maintains persistent memory across sessions and supports tool execution with any OpenAI-compatible model provider, including Vultr Serverless Inference.
