Netclaw

Netclaw is an open source AI agent built on .NET that runs on the user's own hardware and stays on around the clock. The vendor, which says it comes from the team behind Akka.NET, positions it as a self hosted alternative to agents that run on someone else's service. It connects to team communication tools, with Slack, Discord and Mattermost configurable through a menu driven terminal interface, plus web search, inbound webhooks, network exposure and skill sources. An agent daemon is triggered by a webhook, a chat message or a schedule, decides which tools to use, and checks whether the action needs approval. Approvals are requested in the team's channel, and results are reported back there with an audit trail. Users choose which actions require approval and which run automatically, and pick their own LLM provider during setup. Typical work is the routine tasks people put off, such as triaging alerts, posting updates and running recurring checks. It installs on Linux, macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows, or runs as a Docker container, and is configured with the netclaw init and netclaw config commands. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license. The site publishes no paid plans or prices.
