Be first to know when we launch. No spam, ever.
Not Another Desk Gadget
A desktop companion that's also a full personal AI assistant. Manage your life through voice, or from any device on your network.
Hybrid AI Brain
Runs a local LLM for everyday chat — free and instant. Escalates to cloud AI (Claude, GPT, Gemini) for complex tasks. You control the cost.
Personal AI Assistant
Manage email, calendar, reminders, smart home, and daily workflows — all through voice or the web control panel. Powered by OpenClaw.
Works Offline
No WiFi? No problem. PopClaw keeps talking, thinking, and reacting — even without internet. Every competitor dies without a connection.
Web Control Panel
Access PopClaw's full control UI from any device on your network. Configure personality, manage integrations, and chat — all from your browser.
Real Personality
Pick from 6 presets — Sage, Spark, Ghost, Buddy, Captain, Gremlin — or build your own. Tweak anytime: "be funnier", "talk less", "be more sarcastic".
Fully Open Source
Software, hardware designs, BOM — all open source. Build your own from scratch, or buy from us for convenience and premium quality.
Custom Hardware
Premium shells in custom colors and designs. Every unit is crafted to order. Community marketplace for user-created designs coming soon.
No Subscription. Ever.
Buy it. Own it. Bring your own API key for cloud features, or run 100% local. Zero monthly fees. Zero cloud dependency.
Sees & Hears You
Wide-angle camera, dual microphones, stereo speakers. Your companion sees your desk, hears your voice, and responds naturally.
Expressive Motion
2-axis motorized head pans and tilts — tracks you, reacts to conversation, and syncs with mood lighting for rich physical expression.
Integrations
Connect to Gmail, Google Calendar, smart home devices, messaging apps, and more. PopClaw becomes the hub for your digital life.
Saves You Money

Choose Your Personality
Pick a preset or start from scratch. Set the name, voice, and vibe. Takes about 5 minutes — feels like meeting someone new.
Start Talking
It sees you. It hears you. It responds with its own personality. Ask it to check your email, set reminders, or just chat. Simple stuff runs locally — complex tasks tap into cloud AI.
Connect Your Life
Link your email, calendar, smart home, and messaging apps. Access the full control panel from any device on your WiFi at popclaw.local.
Make It Yours
Tweak anytime with natural language. "Be more sarcastic." "Remember I like coffee." "Stop using emoji." Changes stick instantly.
