What is OpenClaw
OpenClaw in one paragraph
OpenClaw Gateway is an open-source local-first LLM and AI agent orchestration platform. It runs on your hardware, talks to local model backends (Ollama,LM Studio, llama.cpp) and OpenAI-compatible remotes, hosts AI skills, and exposes a single HTTP API. GhostCrab is what you use tooperate a running gateway — connection, configuration, model swapping, skill management — without sitting at the gateway machine.
