# [[OpenClaw]]

[site](https://openclaw.ai/)
OpenClaw is an [[opensource]] [[Agentic AI]] tool that pairs your choice of [[Large Language Model|LLM]] with [[MCP]] integration to function as an AI assistant.
It's different from tools like [[ChatGPT]] and [[Claude.ai]] in that it's beyond chat; it can use those LLMs but is also agentic: it can do things about your conversations.
It's different from other [[Agentic AI]] tools like [[Claude Code]] and [[Cursor]] in a few ways:
- it's always on
- it's autonomous - it can act without you triggering it, using cron jobs
- it has a persistent memory
- it has several messaging interfaces ([[WhatsApp]], [[Telegram]], [[Discord]]) that you can use to interact with it.
## Usage
### Models and auth profiles
You can configure OpenClaw with different models as well as different profiles for the same model. This helps you distinguish between, for example, work and personal use, and route requests accordingly.
#### Model status
To see the list of currently configured models, you can run this on the terminal:
```bash
openclaw models status
```
OR on Discord:
```
/model status
```
#### Switch auth profiles
To switch auth profiles while on Discord chat:
to the personal auth profile:
```
/model model:Opus@anthropic:personal
```
to the default one:
```
/model model:Opus@anthropic:manual
```
