Run a self-hosted multi-channel AI assistant with Claude, Gemini and Gmail

n8nClaw — Self-Hosted AI Assistant

A lightweight, self-hosted AI assistant built entirely in n8n. Multi-channel messaging (Telegram, WhatsApp, Gmail), persistent memory, task management, and autonomous work — all in a single visual workflow.

Inspired by [OpenClaw](https://github.com/nicepkg/openclaw).

What It Does

n8nClaw is a personal AI assistant that lives inside n8n. It connects to your messaging apps, remembers past conversations, manages tasks, and can work autonomously on your behalf.

Core capabilities: - Multi-channel messaging — talk to your assistant via Telegram, WhatsApp, or Gmail - Persistent memory — conversations are summarized, embedded, and stored in a Supabase vector database for long-term recall - Task management — create, track, and complete tasks and subtasks using n8n data tables - Autonomous heartbeat — an hourly trigger lets the agent check in, process pending tasks, and act on its own - Media handling — voice messages, images, and documents sent via Telegram are processed by Gemini models - Sub-agents — delegate work to specialized agents for research, email management, document management, and tiered workers

How It Works

1. Triggers & Input Processing Four triggers feed into the agent: - Telegram Trigger — receives text, voice, images, and documents - WhatsApp Webhook — receives text messages via Evolution API - Gmail Trigger — polls for new emails every minute - Hourly Heartbeat — scheduled trigger for autonomous task processing
