Knowledge Tutorial

OpenClaw is a modular AI agent platform that unifies various devices into a single intelligent network. At its core is a Gateway daemon that manages connections, executes multi-agent workflows defined in the OpenProse language, and facilitates real-time communication between the Control UI, mobile nodes, and desktop applications using a custom WebSocket protocol.

Ch.01 CORE
Gateway
Welcome to the first chapter of the OpenClaw tutorial! We are going to start with the most critical component of the entire system: the Gat…
↗
Ch.02 CORE
Control UI
Welcome back! In the previous chapter, we built the Gateway, which acts as the invisible "hub" or "engine" of our system.
↗
Ch.03 CORE
OpenProse
Welcome back! In the previous chapters, we built the Gateway (the brain) and the Control UI (the dashboard).
↗
Ch.04 CORE
Configuration
Welcome back! In the previous chapter, we explored OpenProse, a way to write scripts for our agents (e.g., "Researcher -> Write a poem").
↗
Ch.05 CORE
macOS Node
Welcome back! In the previous chapter, we set up our Configuration so our system knows our secrets and settings. Before that, we built the…
↗
Ch.06 CORE
iOS Node
Welcome back! In the previous chapter, we built the macOS Node. We gave OpenClaw "hands" to control your desktop computer.
↗
Ch.07 CORE
Android Node
Welcome back! in the previous chapter, we built the iOS Node, allowing iPhone users to control OpenClaw from anywhere in the house.
↗
Ch.08 CORE
Swabble
Welcome back! In the previous chapters, we built nodes for macOS Node, iOS Node, and Android Node. We gave OpenClaw "bodies" to interact wi…
↗
Ch.09 ADVANCED
ProtocolSchema
Welcome back! In the previous chapter, we explored Swabble, giving our system "ears" to listen for commands locally.
