What is Msty Claw?

Msty Claw is a desktop AI agent application developed by Msty AI. It is designed to run autonomous multi-step tasks on your local machine, with support for sandboxed folder access, tool use, and both local and cloud-based AI models. Because Msty Claw supports OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, it can be connected to Ozeki AI Gateway, letting you route all AI requests through your own gateway and take advantage of any model configured there.
