# What is ClawHQ?

> A self-hosted AI agent platform. Run agents in Discord, Slack, and Telegram on your own infrastructure.

ClawHQ is a self-hosted AI agent platform. Run it on your own infrastructure — a VPS, a home server, or a cloud VM — and give your team AI agents that work inside Discord, Slack, and Telegram.

## What it does

* **Agents that live in your channels** — each agent responds to messages, executes tasks, and reports back where your team already communicates
* **One dashboard** to configure agents, manage API keys, monitor spend, and view activity
* **Packs** — pre-built agent bundles for engineering teams, sales, ops, customer support, and more
* **Self-hosted** — your data stays on your infrastructure, no per-seat fees, no SaaS lock-in

## What's inside

ClawHQ bundles five services into a single `docker compose up`:

| Service       | What it does                                                               |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **OpenClaw**  | Agent gateway — routes messages to the right agent, manages model calls    |
| **OpenFang**  | Agent OS — handles long-running tasks, memory, tool execution              |
| **Paperclip** | Orchestration — multi-step pipelines, cron jobs, agent-to-agent delegation |
| **Hermes**    | Conversational agent — the primary AI you interact with                    |
| **Dashboard** | Web UI — configure everything from a browser                               |
