OpenClaw is one of the most powerful personal AI assistants available. ClawScale takes that same engine and connects it to 12+ chat platforms — adding multi-user management, isolated memory, role-based access, and admin controls. Same power. Built for your whole org, at scale.
OpenClaw bundles IM gateways and the autonomous agent into one process with shared memory. When hundreds of users interact with the same instance, conversations bleed into each other and memory gets corrupted. You can't scale channels independently, isolate users, or run multiple agent instances.
ClawScale splits these apart — scale gateways and agents independently.
WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram, Slack, LINE, Teams, Matrix, Signal, WeChat, and more. Each channel has a dedicated adapter with platform-native features.
Route messages to OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, OpenClaw instances, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Run multiple backends per tenant simultaneously.
End-users can talk to multiple agents at once. Messages route to all active backends and replies are labeled by source. Users manage their agent team via slash commands.
Every user's conversations, memory, and state are fully isolated. Hundreds or thousands of users interact with agents without corrupting each other's context. Data never crosses boundaries.
Web UI for managing channels, AI backends, conversations, team members, workspace settings, and audit logs. Role-based access: Admin, Member, Viewer.
Scale OpenClaw instances (or other agents) independently behind one gateway. Add channels without touching agent config. Add agents without touching channel config.
A user messages your bot on WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram, or any connected channel. The channel adapter normalizes the message and posts it to the ClawScale gateway.
ClawScale identifies the user, loads conversation history, parses any commands, and routes the message to the user's active AI backend(s). Multiple backends can respond in parallel.
Each backend generates a reply with its own conversation context. Replies are saved, labeled by backend, and delivered back through the original channel. The user sees a natural conversation.
Each channel has a dedicated adapter. Connect from the dashboard, provide credentials, and go live.

ClawScale never injects hidden prompts. Each backend manages its own system prompt, model, and tools. Scale from one OpenClaw instance to many, or mix in other providers.
Route to one or more OpenClaw instances. OpenClaw manages its own tools, memory, and prompts.
GPT models via OpenAI API. Configure model, system prompt, and API key per backend.
Claude models via Anthropic API. Full system prompt and model control.
Multi-model aggregator. Access hundreds of models through one API key.
Pulse Editor AI agent. Connect to your Pulse instance for coding-aware responses.
Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Self-hosted models, vLLM, Ollama, or any proxy.
OpenClaw bundles gateways and agent into one process. ClawScale decouples them so each can scale independently.

Both projects are open source. ClawScale uses OpenClaw as one of its pluggable AI backends.
“We were running three separate OpenClaw instances for different teams. ClawScale unified everything behind one gateway with proper tenant isolation.”
“Being able to plug in both GPT-4o and Claude as backends, then let users pick which agent to talk to, changed how our support team works.”
“We connected WhatsApp, Discord, and Telegram to a single ClawScale instance. One dashboard to manage all channels and see every conversation.”
Self-host for free, or use managed ClawScale for your team.
Open source, self-hostable, and ready to run. Clone the repo and have your gateway live in minutes.
