What it is
nexu is an open-source desktop client that runs your OpenClaw 🦞 Agent inside IM channels like WeChat, Feishu, Slack, Discord, and others. It provides a GUI-based setup, built-in Feishu Skills, multi-model support (Gemini and more), and the option to bring your own API Key. All data stays on your machine.
How it works
The project is a desktop Electron-based client that enables connecting an OpenClaw agent to IM platforms. It supports OAuth login for certain models (MiniMax, OpenAI Codex, GLM) and allows using your own API keys. The UI aims for a GUI-driven experience without requiring CLI setup.
Getting started
System requirements include macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon & Intel) and Windows 10+. Installation options list downloads from nexu.io or Releases. First launch prompts signing in with a nexu account or adding your API Key to use the client without an account.
Commands for development (in repo):
