BotsChat is a modern, Slack-like interface for OpenClaw AI agents. Organize conversations into channels, automate background tasks, and keep your API keys and data entirely on your own machine.
Built for developers and power users who refuse to compromise on privacy or control.
The BotsChat server acts purely as a WebSocket relay between your browser and your local OpenClaw instance. Your API keys, agent configurations, and data never leave your machine — only chat messages pass through.
Every line of code is open under the Apache-2.0 license. Audit it, fork it, extend it — BotsChat is yours to own. No vendor lock-in, no hidden telemetry, no surprises.
Run locally with a single command, or deploy to Cloudflare's free tier for remote access. No servers to provision, no Docker required — everything just works out of the box.
Everything you need to interact with AI agents productively.
Organize your agent interactions through a three-layer hierarchy that keeps complex workflows clean and navigable.
Agent responses are rendered as interactive elements — buttons, radio groups, and selection cards. Multi-step workflows feel like a guided wizard, not a wall of text you have to parse and retype.
/model, /help, /skills)
Set up cron-style background tasks that run your agents on autopilot. Each task has its own prompt, schedule, model, and complete execution history.
A collapsible debug panel gives you live visibility into WebSocket events, task loading, agent responses, and errors — all without leaving the chat.
A simple, secure relay architecture that keeps your data where it belongs.
Your local OpenClaw gateway initiates an outbound WebSocket to the BotsChat server — no port forwarding or tunnels needed.
When you type in the web UI, messages travel: Browser → BotsChat Server → WebSocket → OpenClaw → Agent, and back.
API keys, agent configs, and all sensitive data remain on your machine. The server only sees chat messages passing through.
Native iOS and Android apps are on the way — chat with your AI agents on the go, with push notifications and the same privacy-first architecture.
