What is Captain Claw?
Captain Claw is a self-hosted platform for managing fleets of AI agents. It centers on Flight Deck, a command center where you launch, watch, and direct multiple specialist agents at once. Seven orchestration modes handle different workflows: parallel execution, AI-designed teams, structured debates, ensemble reasoning, collaborative blackboards, a full coding pipeline with independent review, and a finisher that runs until a judge approves. Each agent gets 51 built-in tools and shares six memory layers. A deterministic Flows language automates multi-step tasks, and a virtual file system lets agents share workspaces. The system works with major LLM APIs or runs fully locally via Ollama. Release 0.8.0 adds multi-user support, Microsoft 365 and Gmail connectors, a smart-glasses HUD, and pocket-sized voice devices. It installs via pip, Docker, Docker Compose, or standalone binaries on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
