MatrixClaw

   

**MatrixClaw is an always-on local AI assistant and AI coding agent runtime for Terminal and Telegram.**

MatrixClaw is an open-source, local-first OpenClaw alternative for users who want a self-hosted personal AI operator with durable sessions, SQLite memory, MCP tools, approvals, scheduled tasks, and Claude Code / Codex subagents.

Start a task in the terminal, continue from Telegram, approve tool calls remotely, and return later without losing the session.

`matrixclaw` is written in Go and runs as a small local daemon. It stores state in SQLite and gives your AI sessions a durable home outside any single app or chat window.

The core owns the session: context, files, tool history, approvals, provider settings, model choice, usage records, goals/plans, persistent memory, searchable history, and optional external-agent attachments. The Terminal TUI, Telegram bot, and future mobile clients are only interfaces connected to the same local runtime.

`matrixclaw` is built for personal work first: development, research, files, remote checks, reminders, provider switching, visible task plans, memory, subagents, and agent workflows where continuity and explicit control matter.

It is useful if you want a self-hosted or local-first AI assistant that can keep state across clients, run approved tools, switch between LLM providers, delegate focused tasks to MatrixClaw/Codex/Claude Code subagents, and expose the same runtime through Terminal, Telegram, or MCP.
