About this app
Clears your inbox, sends emails, manages your calendar, checks you in for flights. All from WhatsApp, Telegram, or any chat app you already use.
The OpenClaw app on umbrelOS provides a seamless setup experience. Just enter your API key and go. A headless browser is configured out of the box so your new AI assistant can immediately interact with the entire internet.
OpenClaw is running inside the umbrelOS app sandbox. It has complete freedom to install software inside its own environment while all your existing apps and data remain securely protected.
OpenClaw is also running behind the umbrelOS app proxy, so only you can securely access your OpenClaw instance.
