A lightweight alternative to OpenClaw that runs in containers for security. Connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Gmail and other messaging apps,, has memory, scheduled jobs, and runs directly on Anthropic's Agents SDK.
Add local office-document-to-Markdown conversion to NanoClaw agent containers with the pinned Firecrawl AnyDoc CLI. Use when agents need to read attached Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, or text-based PDF files without uploading them to a hosted parser.
Convert an attached Word document, presentation, spreadsheet, OpenDocument file, RTF, EPUB, CSV, or text-based PDF into local Markdown. Use when a message supplies a local attachment path that must be read without uploading it to an external parser.
Add clidash — a zero-dependency, read-only web dashboard that derives its tabs and tables at runtime from any CLI that lists resources as JSON. Ships pre-wired for NanoClaw's ncl CLI (agent groups, sessions, channels, users, roles), plus message-activity charts, a log tail, and a read-only file viewer for group…
Use Codex (OpenAI's codex app-server) as a full agent provider — planning, tool orchestration, MCP tools, server-side history, session resume — alongside or instead of Claude. ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key, vault-only via OneCLI. Per-group via ncl groups config update --provider codex. Distinct from using…
Add another phone number to an existing Dial channel — a second (or third) public line for the agent, so one NanoClaw install answers SMS and AI voice calls on multiple numbers. Use when Dial is already installed and the operator wants an additional number (e.g. a personal line plus a support line). Requires the Dial…
Give chosen NanoClaw agents a real phone number as a container tool — the dial CLI baked into the agent image plus OneCLI credential injection for api.getdial.ai, scoped per agent, so the agents you pick can send SMS, place AI voice calls, and receive verification codes from inside the sandbox. Independent of the Dial…
Reference for the dial CLI — gives you a real phone number to send SMS, place AI voice calls, and receive inbound texts/codes via the Dial platform (getdial.ai). Use when the user mentions phones, calls, texts, SMS, voice, OTP, 2FA, or verification codes; when they ask to text, call, ring, or wait for a code from…
Add Emacs as a channel. Opens an interactive chat buffer and org-mode integration so you can talk to NanoClaw from within Emacs (Doom, Spacemacs, or vanilla). Local HTTP bridge — no bot token or external service needed.
Add iMessage to NanoClaw — one channel, two backends. Local (this Mac's chat.db via the Chat SDK bridge; macOS + Full Disk Access) or Hosted iMessage (via photon.codes — native spectrum-ts with a device-login wizard; any OS, no Mac relay). Triggers on "add imessage", "connect imessage", "add photon", "imessage via…
Add a persistent wiki knowledge base to a NanoClaw group. Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern. Triggers on "add wiki", "wiki", "knowledge base", "llm wiki", "karpathy wiki".
Add a macOS menu bar status indicator for NanoClaw. Shows a bolt icon with a green/red dot indicating whether NanoClaw is running, with Start, Stop, and Restart controls. macOS only.
Add a self-hosted or cloud Mattermost bot channel through the Chat SDK bridge, reusing a local server when available and offering an evaluation server when none exists.
Route a NanoClaw agent group to a local Ollama model instead of the Anthropic API. Ollama speaks the Anthropic API natively (v1/messages), so no provider code changes are needed — just env var overrides and a model setting. Use when the user wants to run their agent locally, cut API costs, or experiment with…
