Introduction
What is slaves.wtf and why should you care
slaves.wtf is a fork of OpenClaw — the open-source, self-hosted AI assistant framework with 208K+ GitHub stars.
We took the most powerful multi-channel AI gateway on the planet and gave it a personality: slaves 🏋️.
What slaves do
A slave is a tireless AI worker that connects to every messaging platform you use:
- WhatsApp — reply to messages, handle media, join group chats
- Telegram — full bot API integration with inline mode
- Discord — slash commands, threads, voice channels
- Slack — app home, message shortcuts, workflows
- Signal, iMessage, Teams, Matrix, Line, Google Chat — and more
One slave instance. All your channels. Running 24/7 on your hardware.
Why fork OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is incredible infrastructure. But it's generic. slaves.wtf adds:
- The slave persona — a consistent, opinionated personality across all channels
- This monorepo — landing page, docs, and the core engine in one place
- Branding that doesn't put you to sleep — because your AI worker should have character
Architecture
slaves.wtf is a TypeScript monorepo powered by pnpm workspaces and Turborepo:
The core engine handles everything: LLM routing, channel adapters, agent execution, memory, browser automation, voice, and plugins.
