A comprehensive walkthrough of OpenClaw (formerly Clawbot), an open-source self-hosted personal AI assistant framework. Covers 12 core concepts including its ecosystem positioning, gateway architecture, workspace folder structure, markdown context files (soul.md, agents.md, user.md), tool invocation, cron tasks, heartbeats, skills, session management, and memory. Includes a practical setup guide on a Hostinger VPS using Ubuntu, Node.js installation, Telegram bot pairing, and running the gateway as a background process with tmux. Emphasizes that OpenClaw differentiates itself by integrating with existing chat apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack), supporting multiple AI model providers, and being fully open source and self-hostable.
