Watch-outs

General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

From the README

You own the agent. You own the data. You own the machine it runs on.

ZeroClaw is an agent runtime — a single Rust binary you configure and run. It talks to LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, and ~20 others), reaches the world through 30+ channels (Discord, Telegram, Matrix, email, voice, webhooks, your own CLI), and acts through tools (shell, browser, HTTP, hardware, custom MCP servers). Everything runs on your machine, with your keys, in your workspace.

Read the Philosophy for the four opinions that shape it.

The installer asks whether you want a prebuilt binary (fast, ~seconds) or a source build (slower, customisable). Both end the same way — zeroclaw onboard kicks off automatically.

Full walkthrough: Quick start — or skip the safety gates with YOLO mode for dev boxes.
