NanoClaw
ActiveDescription
A lightweight AI assistant platform running securely in containers. Connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Gmail with memory, scheduled jobs, and built on Anthropic's Agents SDK.
Key Features
- Container-level Isolation — Agents run in dedicated Linux containers with filesystem isolation, no host escape
- Multi-channel Messaging — Supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Teams, WeChat and 12+ platforms
- Flexible Isolation Model — Per-channel independent agents, shared agents, or cross-channel sessions
- Scheduled Tasks — Configure recurring Claude jobs that auto-execute and return results
- Skills Extension — Add channels and providers on-demand via /add-telegram commands, zero bloat
- Credential Security — Agents never hold API keys; OneCLI Agent Vault injects credentials per-request
