Clawdbot: The Most Dangerous Software

I wrote a launcher for clawdbot. And I do NOT recommend using it unless you know what you're doing. Some obvious reasons:

1. It can read and write everything on your machine.
2. But that's nothing compared to all the 3rd party apps you connect with. Once you connect, the bot has full access to reading, writing, and even wiping out everything on those 3rd party apps.
3. Also, note that everything you connect is sent to the LLM providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
4. Some may try to "get around" this by trying to use local LLMs (via LMStudio, Ollama, etc.), but that is even more dangerous because: see point 1 and 2. Most people don't have supercomputers running on their machines and most open source LLMs as of today on most machines are not as intelligent as LLM Service providers, which means you are allowing a dumb AI to handle 1 and 2, which is extremely dangerous.

Some potential scenarios:

1. The bot wipes out your entire gmail
2. The bot sends mass messages to everyone on your Whatsapp contact list (In fact it has already happened: https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/issues/834)
3. An innocent looking skill you install may take over your entire machine and act as an autonomous ransomware (Think wannacry)

That said, if you still are feeling adventurous, it's not THAT bad as long as you are cautious about what you allow. Even if you don't enable anything, you can still talk to the bot using your existing LLM logins on your system (if you're using Claude code, Codex cli, etc, it should instantly work).

Also you can install skills simply by chatting with the AI. Here's what it looks like:

I initially thought about not releasing this, but decided that it's better to explain the risks while allowing an easy install.

Note that all the launcher does is install clawdbot with 1-click. Anything you do after installation is fully Clawdbot, so I can't help you what happens after install, just be aware of the risks and play safe!
