What It Does

Clawdbot turns Google Chat into a direct line to your own AI assistant. Instead of switching to ChatGPT or Claude in a browser, you just message your assistant in Google Chat like you would a friend.

Features

• Always available — Message your AI from Google Chat on any device
• Private — Runs on your own machine, your conversations stay yours
• Powerful — Uses Claude or GPT-4 as the brain
• Extensible — Add tools like web browsing, file access, and more

Quick Start (15-20 minutes)

What You'll Need

• A computer (Mac, Windows, or Linux)
• A Google Cloud account (free tier works)
• An AI subscription (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI ChatGPT)
• Node.js 22 or newer (download here)

---

Step 1: Install Clawdbot

Open Terminal (Mac/Linux) or PowerShell (Windows) and run:

npm install -g clawdbot@latest

Step 2: Run the Setup Wizard

clawdbot onboard --install-daemon

This will walk you through:

• Connecting your AI account (Anthropic or OpenAI)
• Setting up the Gateway (the control center)

Step 3: Create a Google Chat Bot

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project (or use an existing one)
3. Search for "Google Chat API" and enable it
4. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
5. Click "Create Credentials" > "Service Account"
6. Download the JSON key file

Step 4: Configure Google Chat in Clawdbot

Create or edit ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  "agent": {
    "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"
  },
  "gchat": {
    "enabled": true,
    "credentialsPath": "/path/to/your/service-account.json",
    "allowFrom": ["your-email@gmail.com"]
  }
}

Replace:

• /path/to/your/service-account.json with the actual path to your downloaded JSON file
• your-email@gmail.com with your Google account email

Step 5: Start the Gateway

clawdbot gateway --port 18789 --verbose

Step 6: Message Your Bot!

Open Google Chat and start a conversation with your bot. That's it — you now have a personal AI assistant in Google Chat!
