Your own AI that gets smarter over time

ClawCow Agent is an AI chatbot that runs entirely on your computer. No monthly fee, no account required, no data sent anywhere. Just download, run, and start chatting β€” it learns as you use it.

Three steps. That's it.

Step 1

Download the project

Copy the commands below and paste them into your terminal. This downloads the project and installs everything it needs. Python must be installed β€” that's the only requirement.

git clone https://github.com/belugaman9981/AcumenAI
cd AcumenAI/local-ai-agent
pip install -r requirements.txt
Step 2

Start the AI in the background

Run this command to start the AI. Keep this terminal window open while you use ClawCow β€” it's what makes the AI work. You can minimize it.

python brain_server.py
Step 3

Open and start chatting

Open index.html in any browser. Create a free local account (nothing is sent online), then start chatting. The AI learns from every conversation.

Why we built this

Most AI tools are watching you.
ClawCow isn't.

Every time you use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, your conversation goes to a company's server. They can read it, store it, and use it to train their next model. That's the trade-off you make for a smart AI β€” but it doesn't have to be.

ClawCow runs on your own machine. It has no internet connection unless you ask it to search. It doesn't phone home. Your conversations are yours, stored in a file on your own computer, readable only by you.

What ClawCow can do

ClawCow
Agent

An AI assistant that actually gets better the more you use it. Teach it things, point it at your work, and watch it become genuinely useful β€” without ever needing an internet connection or a subscription.

01

It learns new things automatically

ClawCow reads Wikipedia articles in the background to build up its knowledge. You can point it at specific topics or let it browse on its own.

02

It can search the web when needed

When you ask about something current β€” like today's news or a specific website β€” it searches DuckDuckGo and gives you a real answer.

03

It understands your documents

Drop a PDF into ClawCow and it reads it, learns from it, and can answer questions about it. Great for research, manuals, or anything you've downloaded.

04

It can write and save code to GitHub

Connect your GitHub account and ClawCow can read your code files, write changes, save them to a branch, and open a pull request β€” no copy-pasting required.

Our promises to you

Simple rules we never break.
No fine print.

01

We never see your conversations

Your chats, your files, and everything ClawCow learns stays on your computer. There is no server receiving your data β€” not even ours.

02

The code is fully open source

Everything is on GitHub under the MIT license. You can read every line, modify it, or run it on a computer with no internet access at all.

03

It keeps learning while you use it

Leave ClawCow running and it keeps reading and improving in the background. Come back tomorrow and it'll know more than it did today.

04

Free forever β€” no subscription

Download it once and it works forever. We don't charge a monthly fee, require a credit card, or limit how many questions you can ask.

05

Works on any normal computer

You only need Python installed. No gaming GPU, no Docker, no special hardware. If your laptop can run Python, it can run ClawCow.

06

Built to understand, not to impress

We care more about ClawCow giving you genuinely useful answers than about hitting benchmarks. Every feature exists because it helps you.

Ready to try it?

An AI you own,
not one you rent.

Download ClawCow, open the chat, and ask it anything. No sign-up, no credit card, no data shared. If you don't like it, just delete the folder β€” nothing else to uninstall.
