What MultiClaw includes
MultiClaw has four components. You interact with the desktop app daily — the others run behind the scenes. Here's what each one does and which ones are required.

The desktop app
The MultiClaw desktop app is your main interface. Install it on your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine. From here you chat with agents, review their plans, approve tasks, browse skills, and track progress.
If you're not sure where to start, open the desktop app.
MultiClaw Cloud
MultiClaw Cloud is the web platform at multiclaw.ai. Use it to create your account, manage your team and workspace, and set up cloud desktops.
MultiClaw Cloud also handles what the desktop app doesn't: inviting teammates, viewing usage dashboards, and setting up guardrails and approval policies.
The MultiClaw Chrome Extension
The MultiClaw Chrome Extension works in Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, and Arc. It records your browser actions — clicks, form fills, page navigation — so you can turn them into reusable skills for your agents.
Install it once, and it runs in the background until you start a recording. The extension communicates only with your local desktop app and does not transmit your browser activity directly to any external server. Recordings saved as skills may later be used in agent conversations, which are processed by your configured AI model provider.
OpenClaw
OpenClaw is the open-source AI agent engine that powers MultiClaw. It runs locally or on a cloud desktop, depending on your setup.
You don't install or manage OpenClaw yourself — MultiClaw handles that automatically. You may see the name in logs or file paths.
What you need
