How clawbot Works

Deep dive into clawbot's architecture: how self-hosted AI combines multiple language models with direct system control for true automation capabilities.

🏗️ Core Architecture

clawbot is built with a modular architecture that provides maximum flexibility while maintaining security and performance.

🧠 LLM Engine

Supports multiple language models simultaneously, including GPT, Claude, Llama, and other open-source models. Choose the right model for each task type.

⚡ Execution Engine

Secure execution engine that can run system commands, manage files, and interact with external APIs in a controlled manner.

🔌 Plugin System

Extensible plugin architecture that allows you to add new functionality and integrate with existing tools.

🛡️ Security Layer

Multi-layered security system that controls resource access, validates commands, and prevents malicious execution.

🇮🇳 Built for India's Infrastructure

Bandwidth Optimization: clawbot is designed to work efficiently even on limited bandwidth connections common in many parts of India.

Local Processing: All AI processing happens locally, reducing dependency on international cloud services and improving latency for Indian users.

Cost Efficiency: No recurring cloud costs means predictable expenses, crucial for India's cost-conscious market.

🔄 Execution Flow

1

Input Processing

clawbot receives commands through various interfaces like CLI, API, or Web UI

2

Analysis & Planning

LLM analyzes the command and creates a detailed execution plan with clear steps

3

Security Validation

Security layer validates the execution plan and approves only safe operations

4

Execution

Execution engine runs the approved commands and tools to complete the task

5

Response

clawbot reports results and relevant information back to the user

💡 Example Workflows

Automated File Management

When you ask clawbot to organize your Downloads folder:

Command: "Organize files in Downloads folder by type" 1. Scan all files in the directory 2. Analyze file extensions and types 3. Create subdirectories (Images, Documents, Videos, etc.) 4. Move files to appropriate folders 5. Report number of files organized

API Integration

clawbot can connect with external APIs to fetch data and perform actions:

Command: "Check server status and notify if there are issues" 1. Call server monitoring API 2. Analyze response data 3. Detect anomalies or issues 4. Send notifications via Slack/Discord/Email 5. Log events to file

🔧 Technology Stack

clawbot is built with modern, reliable technologies:

  • Python - Core language for flexibility and performance
  • FastAPI - For fast, modern API endpoints
  • Docker - For easy deployment and management
  • SQLite/PostgreSQL - For reliable data storage
  • WebSocket - For real-time communication

🚀 Performance Advantages

🔒 Enhanced Security

Runs in controlled environment with no unauthorized data transmission outside your system.

⚡ High Performance

No network latency, full control over resources, and optimized local processing.

🔧 Full Customization

Every component can be customized and extended to meet your specific requirements.

🌐 True Independence

No dependency on external services, works even without internet connection.

🔍 Under the Hood

Model Selection

clawbot intelligently chooses the best model for each task:

  • Code generation → Code-specialized models
  • Text analysis → Language-focused models
  • System commands → Lightweight, fast models
  • Complex reasoning → Large, capable models

Security Mechanisms

Multiple layers protect your system:

  • Command validation and sanitization
  • Sandboxed execution environments
  • Resource usage monitoring
  • Audit logging for all operations
