Node.js >=24.15.0 <25
npm

git clone https://github.com/netease-youdao/LobsterAI.git

The renderer dev server runs at http://localhost:5175.

Desktop Cowork Sessions

Run long-form Agent tasks against local projects and files. LobsterAI streams progress, keeps session history, renders tool output, and asks for approval before sensitive actions such as file operations, terminal commands, or network access.

Multi-Agent Workflows

Create custom Agents with their own identity, model choice, skills, working directory, enabled state, and IM bindings. Keep the Main Agent for general work and use specialized Agents for repeatable roles.

Expert Kits

Install scenario-oriented Expert Kits that package capability selections and references for common workflows. Kits are selected independently from direct skills, so a workflow can combine curated kits with individual tools.

Skills

LobsterAI ships with 28 built-in skills configured in SKILLs/skills.config.json, including web search, Word documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoint, PDF processing, Remotion video generation, browser automation, image/video generation, stock research, content writing, email, weather, and skill creation.

MCP Servers

Connect external tools and data sources through Model Context Protocol servers. LobsterAI stores user-configured servers locally and syncs enabled servers into OpenClaw.

Scheduled Tasks

Create recurring work either by conversation or through the scheduled task UI. Use it for daily news digests, inbox summaries, website monitoring, weekly reports, and other repeatable work.

IM Remote Control

Reach your desktop Agent from WeChat, WeCom, DingTalk, Feishu/Lark, QQ, Telegram, Discord, NetEase IM, NetEase Bee, POPO, and email. Multi-instance platforms can bind different accounts or channels to different Agents.

Rich Artifacts

Preview and manage generated HTML, SVG, images, video, Mermaid diagrams, code, Markdown, text, documents, and local service artifacts inside the desktop app.

Local Memory And Data

Sessions and app data live locally in SQLite. OpenClaw workspace memory uses files such as MEMORY.md, USER.md, SOUL.md, and daily notes, so durable preferences and project context can carry across sessions.
