Three coordinated things:
1. Resolve the committed upstream/main merge conflicts. 94 files were
sitting with raw <<<<<<< HEAD ... >>>>>>> upstream/main blocks. Every
conflict had HanzoBot/Bot on HEAD and OpenClaw on upstream. Resolved
by keeping HEAD everywhere — 540 conflict blocks.
2. Rewrite remaining OpenClaw text refs.
OPENCLAW → HANZO_BOT
OpenClaw → HanzoBot (PascalCase type identifiers)
openclaw → bot (codebase convention — botToken,
botUsername etc.; avoids invalid
hyphenated JS identifiers)
openclaw[_]/openclaw[A-Z] → bot[_]/bot[A-Z] (compound)
ai.openclaw.x → ai.hanzo.bot.x (JVM package path)
3. Delete or rename openclaw-named file paths (116 of them). Dead
duplicates with a Bot-named canonical from the partial migration:
deleted. Otherwise renamed.
ai/openclaw/** → deleted (ai/hanzo/bot/** canonical)
Sources/OpenClaw*/ → deleted (Sources/Bot* canonical)
Tests/OpenClawIPCTests/ → deleted (Tests/BotIPCTests canonical)
OpenClawKit/ → deleted (BotKit canonical)
openclaw-tools.*.ts → deleted (bot-tools.*.ts canonical)
openclaw-root.ts etc. → deleted (bot-root.ts canonical)
types.openclaw.ts → deleted (types.bot.ts canonical)
extensions/*/openclaw.plugin.json → renamed hanzo-bot.plugin.json
docs/start/openclaw.md → renamed hanzo-bot.md (+ zh-CN)
docs/assets/openclaw-*.png, whatsapp-openclaw*.jpg → deleted
scripts/.../openclaw-* → deleted (bot/hanzo-bot parallels)
openclaw.mjs → deleted (hanzo-bot.mjs is package.bin)
Then patched 65 broken JS/TS import strings where hanzo-bot had ended
up inside an import path ('./types.hanzo-bot.js' → './types.bot.js'
etc., since the on-disk filename uses the brand-neutral bot- prefix).
Pre-existing lint debt cleaned up to get oxlint --type-aware to 0/0:
removed the dead i18n test that referenced a path no longer existing;
defined the missing DIDConfig and WalletConfig types in types.base.ts
(they were imported but never declared); dropped unused imports;
collapsed redundant type assertion and a tautological meta.bot lookup
that the openclaw→bot rename made redundant.
The a2ui.bundle.js generated artifact is kept at its pre-rebrand
contents — it gets regenerated by 'pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle' from
sources I cannot rebuild in this commit; the source side is clean.
Verified: 0 occurrences of openclaw (case-insensitive) in tree source
content, 0 file or directory paths with openclaw in the name; oxlint
--type-aware src test reports 0/0.

HanzoBot 🦞
"EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!" — A space lobster, probably
Any OS gateway for AI agents across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more.
Send a message, get an agent response from your pocket. Plugins add Mattermost and more.
What is HanzoBot?
HanzoBot is a self-hosted gateway that connects your favorite chat apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more — to AI coding agents like Pi. You run a single Gateway process on your own machine (or a server), and it becomes the bridge between your messaging apps and an always-available AI assistant.
Who is it for? Developers and power users who want a personal AI assistant they can message from anywhere — without giving up control of their data or relying on a hosted service.
What makes it different?
- Self-hosted: runs on your hardware, your rules
- Multi-channel: one Gateway serves WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more simultaneously
- Agent-native: built for coding agents with tool use, sessions, memory, and multi-agent routing
- Open source: MIT licensed, community-driven
What do you need? Node 22+, an API key from your chosen provider, and 5 minutes. For best quality and security, use the strongest latest-generation model available.

The Gateway is the single source of truth for sessions, routing, and channel connections.
Key capabilities
WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and iMessage with a single Gateway process. Add Mattermost and more with extension packages. Isolated sessions per agent, workspace, or sender. Send and receive images, audio, and documents. Browser dashboard for chat, config, sessions, and nodes. Pair iOS and Android nodes for Canvas, camera/screen, and voice-enabled workflows.Quick start
```bash npm install -g hanzo-bot@latest ``` ```bash hanzo-bot onboard --install-daemon ``` ```bash hanzo-bot channels login hanzo-bot gateway --port 18789 ```Need the full install and dev setup? See Quick start.
Dashboard
Open the browser Control UI after the Gateway starts.
- Local default: http://127.0.0.1:18789/
- Remote access: Web surfaces and Tailscale
Configuration (optional)
Config lives at ~/.hanzo-bot/hanzo-bot.json.
- If you do nothing, HanzoBot uses the bundled Pi binary in RPC mode with per-sender sessions.
- If you want to lock it down, start with
channels.whatsapp.allowFromand (for groups) mention rules.
Example:
{
channels: {
whatsapp: {
allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
},
},
messages: { groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@hanzo-bot"] } },
}
