Overview

ClawdBot is an open-source, messaging-first AI assistant powered by Anthropic's Claude. Unlike traditional chatbots that respond to queries, ClawdBot is proactive—it can initiate messages, run background tasks, and execute real-world actions across your digital life.

Key differentiator: ClawdBot does rather than just answers. It manages email, calendars, tasks, and files autonomously through MCP integrations.

Considerations

Before You Adopt

Requires broad permissions (email, files, credentials) which creates security exposure
Not enterprise-ready—lacks SSO, audit logs, compliance certifications
Setup requires technical comfort with MCP configuration
Each instance serves one user; no built-in team coordination
Actions execute immediately based on configuration, not organizational strategy
