# OpenClaw Easy

> OpenClaw Easy is the official one-click desktop installer for OpenClaw — an open-source AI assistant for messaging apps. It runs natively on macOS and Windows, with no terminal, no Node.js, no WSL2, and no config files. Users connect WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu, or Line in minutes and pair it with Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), DeepSeek, or local models via Ollama. Everything runs locally on the user's machine — messages and API keys never leave the device.
