It is a channel-level gate on message processing, not only a cosmetic notification preference.</p> <h2 id="modes"><a href="#modes" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Link to this section">¶</a>Modes </h2> <p>OpenClaw documents four DM policy modes:</p> <ul> <li><code>pairing</code>: unknown senders receive a short code and their message is ignored until approval</li> <li><code>allowlist</code>: only approved senders can reach the bot</li> <li><code>open</code>: any sender can reach the bot if the channel allowlist explicitly opts in</li> <li><code>disabled</code>: inbound DMs are ignored</li> </ul> <h2 id="function"><a href="#function" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Link to this section">¶</a>Function </h2> <p>This policy is one of OpenClaw&rsquo;s primary safety controls for consumer messaging surfaces. It constrains who can steer a tool-using assistant before prompts, tool calls, or session routing become relevant.</p> https://emsenn.net/library/domains/engineering/domains/tech/domains/computing/domains/artificial-intelligence/domains/agents/texts/openclaw-summary-march-2026/ Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://emsenn.net/library/domains/engineering/domains/tech/domains/computing/domains/artificial-intelligence/domains/agents/texts/openclaw-summary-march-2026/ <h2 id="purpose"><a href="#purpose" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Link to this section">¶</a>Purpose </h2> <p>This text surveys OpenClaw as of March 9, 2026. OpenClaw is a self-hosted personal AI assistant platform organized around a persistent <a href="../terms/openclaw-gateway.md" class="link-internal">OpenClaw Gateway</a> that exposes one assistant across the channels and devices a user already uses.</p> <h2 id="what-openclaw-is"><a href="#what-openclaw-is" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Link to this section">¶</a>What OpenClaw is </h2> <p>The <a href="https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw" class="link-external">OpenClaw</a> repository describes the project as a personal AI assistant that runs on the user&rsquo;s own devices. The README&rsquo;s central claim is that the Gateway is only the control plane. The product is the assistant itself: an always-available agent that can answer through messaging platforms, web chat, and companion apps.</p>
