It brings files, models, agents, skills, browser tools, local apps, automations, and messaging channels into one task, then keeps working toward a usable result.

A conversation can keep its files, references, tools, generated results, and follow-up work together instead of making you restart in separate apps. ## What You Can Do - **Research and compare** — collect pages, notes, and references, then turn them into a brief, source list, or comparison table. - **Analyze and visualize data** — gather data from websites, CSV files, or spreadsheets, clean it, draw charts, and write the conclusion. - **Draft useful documents** — shape source material and rough notes into reports, articles, proposals, release notes, or weekly updates. - **Process local files** — inspect, rename, extract, classify, and summarize documents without losing the task context. - **Build small tools for yourself** — turn a repeated job into a script, local app, dashboard, or reusable workflow. - **Keep recurring work moving** — receive requests from chat apps, run scheduled briefs or checks, and send results back to the right channel.

[Download the latest stable desktop release](https://nextclaw.io/en/download/) ### npm Install Node.js LTS first, then run: ```bash npm install -g nextclaw nextclaw start ``` Open [http://127.0.0.1:55667](http://127.0.0.1:55667), choose a model provider, and start a task. If `npm` is unavailable, install or reinstall Node.js LTS and reopen the terminal. On a remote host, port `55667` serves plain HTTP. Use it directly only for a quick check; terminate HTTPS with Nginx or Caddy for regular access. ```bash nextclaw stop ``` ### Docker For a long-running server or cloud VM deployment: ```bash curl -fsSL https://nextclaw.io/install-docker.sh | bash ``` See the [Docker deployment guide](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/tutorials/docker-one-click) for reverse proxy, domain, and remote access setup. You can compare every supported path on the [install options page](https://nextclaw.io/en/install/). ## Product Tour ### Keep files, source, and HTML beside the task Open local HTML, code, Markdown, and project files in the right-side workspace while the conversation remains available.  ### Give different agents their own working context Create agents with separate roles, memory, skills, runtimes, and workspaces, then start the right one from the same interface.  ### Generate an image and keep the local file Create visuals for articles, product drafts, or source material, then continue using the result in the same task.  ### Add skills and keep references open Browse and install skills from the workspace. Skill details, docs, and other references can stay open in the global side browser while you work.  ## Models, Channels, and Tools - **Models** — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot, DashScope, Zhipu, AiHubMix, vLLM, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. - **Messaging channels** — Weixin, Feishu/Lark, QQ, DingTalk, WeCom, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and email. - **Capabilities** — skills, MCP servers, CLI tools, browser control, local files, Panel Apps, and scheduled tasks. - **Local control** — configuration, conversations, and credentials stay in the environment you control. Connected providers and channels receive the data you send through them. [See all integrations](https://nextclaw.io/en/integrations/) ## Develop From Source From the repository root: ```bash pnpm install pnpm dev start ``` The development stack prints its local URLs in the terminal and uses `~/.nextclaw` by default. Set `NEXTCLAW_HOME=/path/to/home` to use an isolated data directory. To run only one side: ```bash pnpm dev:backend pnpm dev:frontend ``` To refresh the repository and website screenshot set: ```bash pnpm run screenshots:refresh ``` ## Documentation - [Getting Started](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/getting-started) - [Configuration](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/configuration) - [Model Selection](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/model-selection) - [Commands](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/commands) - [Feishu Setup](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/tutorials/feishu) - [Vision](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/vision) - [Roadmap](https://docs.nextclaw.io/en/guide/roadmap) - [Product Updates](https://nextclaw.io/en/releases/) Repository planning: [Roadmap](docs/ROADMAP.md) · [TODO](docs/TODO.md) ## Community - [Discord](https://discord.gg/j4Skbgye) - [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/Peiiii/nextclaw/issues) - WeChat group: scan the QR code below. <img src="images/contact/nextclaw-contact-wechat-group.png" width="180" alt="NextClaw WeChat group QR code" /> ## Contributing Contributions are welcome.
