What is KiloClaw?

An AI assistant that works for you — not just talks to you

The Problem

Chatbots like ChatGPT answer messages — but they can't actually do anything. And self-hosting an AI agent means a whole lot of technical setup, and hours of maintenance. You're left choosing between a tool that only talks and one that takes an engineering team to run.

The Solution

KiloClaw is an AI agent that connects to the apps you already use — email, chat, calendar, and 30+ more — and handles tasks for you, 24/7. It doesn't just answer questions. It takes action.

Problems Solved

Real problems. Automated solutions.

Each solution maps directly to ClawBytes recipes you can deploy today.

Scope creep erodes margins on every project

Automatically convert "quick changes" into structured change requests with impact analysis and client-ready memos.

RFIs and submittals fall through the cracks

Auto-triage incoming RFIs, assign owners, track turnaround deadlines, and get weekly digests before OAC meetings.

Drawing sets ship with coordination errors

Run automated QA/QC gates and drawings-specs coordination audits before every issue set.

Code compliance checklists go stale

Maintain versioned compliance checklists that auto-update with delta memos when jurisdictions adopt new codes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding experience to use OpenClaw for architecture workflows?

No coding experience is required. KiloClaw recipes are configured through natural language prompts and pre-built templates for BIM coordination, RFI tracking, and drawing QA. You describe what you want automated, and the agent handles the execution.

Is KiloClaw secure for architectural drawings and client project data?

Yes. KiloClaw runs in isolated containers with encrypted storage, so your BIM models, drawing sets, and client documents are never shared across projects or users. All data stays within your instance and is protected with enterprise-grade encryption at rest and in transit.

What is the difference between KiloClaw and standard OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the free, open-source AI agent framework you self-host with Docker. KiloClaw is the fully managed version — we handle hosting, updates, monitoring, and security so you get a running agent in minutes without any server setup. KiloClaw also includes access to 500+ AI models through Kilo Gateway and pre-built integrations with 30+ services.

Can KiloClaw integrate with Revit and BIM tools we already use?

KiloClaw works alongside your existing BIM tools by automating the workflows around them — health checks on Revit models, openBIM exchange pack building, and drawings-specs coordination audits. It reads exported data and project files rather than requiring direct plugin installation into Revit or your BIM environment.

610+ recipes. 500+ AI models at 0% markup. The Kilo CLI. Zero maintenance.
