How It Works
A simple look at what happens when you message your AI assistant.
The simple version
When you send a message to your AI through WhatsApp, Signal, or iMessage, here's what happens behind the scenes:
You send a message
In your favorite messaging app
EasyClaw receives it
Running privately on your computer (or our cloud)
AI thinks and responds
Using Claude, GPT, or Gemini
You get a reply
Right back in your messaging app
Desktop app vs. Cloud
EasyClaw works the same way whether you're using the desktop app or our cloud service. The main difference is where the software runs:
Desktop App
- •Runs entirely on your computer
- •Maximum privacy — we never see your messages
- •Access to iMessage (Mac only)
- •No usage limits
Cloud Console
- •Nothing to download or install
- •Works from any device with a browser
- •We handle all the technical setup
- •Free tier: 1 hour/month
What we don't do
It's just as important to understand what EasyClaw doesn't do:
- ✕
We don't store your conversations
Messages pass through temporarily and are not saved on our systems.
- ✕
We don't train AI on your data
Your conversations are never used to improve AI models.
- ✕
We don't sell your information
We make money through subscriptions, not your data.
About the AI
EasyClaw connects to AI services from companies like Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (ChatGPT), and Google (Gemini). When you chat with your assistant, your message is sent securely to these services to generate a response.
You choose which AI to use, and you pay that company directly for their service. EasyClaw simply makes it easy to access these powerful AI assistants from your messaging apps. Each provider has their own privacy policy and terms of service.
Always there when you need it
With the desktop app, your AI assistant is available 24/7 as long as your computer is running. With the cloud console, your assistant is available from anywhere, on any device. Either way, getting help is as simple as sending a text message.
