When A.I. first came on to the scene over 10 years ago (hello, Siri). I was expecting it to basically act as my digital assistant, taking over many of the boring tasks in my digital life.

Unfortunately, that never really manifested, and instead we've been left A.I. generating slop and taking over the act of writing code.

Fortunately, things are looking up, and it seems we finally have something that fulfills my original expectation:

Clawdbot

And it's glorious.

Dreams of Code

Claudebot is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own server and automates digital tasks like managing emails, updating software, monitoring flight prices, and executing system administration. The tutorial covers setting up Claudebot on a VPS instance, configuring it with LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic), connecting messaging apps (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp), and extending functionality through skills. The assistant can be triggered via messages, cron jobs, webhooks, or email events, making it versatile for automation workflows while maintaining privacy through self-hosting.

We finally have an A.I. assistant that actually works

<p>No, it’s not “ Claudebot”, not even Clawdbot now, cause now it’s Moltbot. But what’s in a name, could have been Anyboty?</p>


<p>I see it very useless… he can do what I do now with Claude Code in servers… same shit…</p>
