AI that thinks,
remembers, and acts

Captain Claw is your personal AI workspace. Research the web, process documents, automate browsers, generate reports, run teams of AI agents — and it learns from every interaction.

Everything you need in one workspace

44 built-in tools, 6 memory layers, autonomous thinking, and multi-agent orchestration — all in a beautiful web interface.

Research Workspace

Ask anything. Captain Claw searches the web, scrapes pages, processes documents, and synthesizes polished reports with tables, charts, and insights.

It Actually Remembers You

Six layers of memory — from working context to deep long-term storage. Captain Claw recalls your preferences, past conversations, contacts, and decisions.

Autonomous Thinking

A nervous system that dreams during idle hours — discovering patterns, forming hypotheses, and connecting insights you never explicitly asked about.

Beautiful Visual Reports

Generates polished HTML reports with styling, tables, and data visualizations. Export to PDF or share directly from the workspace.

Browser Automation

60+ browser actions powered by Playwright. Record workflows once, replay with different data. Tab-aware research with nested context.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Flight Deck command center, Agent Forge team builder, Agent Council deliberation, DAG orchestrator, and BotPort agent-to-agent network — all with real-time tracking.

Document Processing

Drop in PDFs, Word docs, Excel sheets, PowerPoint decks, images, and CSVs. Captain Claw extracts, analyzes, and transforms them into actionable insights.

Google Workspace

Connected to Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, and Calendar. Search your files, read emails, manage events — all from a single conversation.

Safety by Design

Three-layer guard system checks inputs, outputs, and tool executions. Approval gates for sensitive operations. Full audit trail with traceable lineage.

New in 0.4.10

Flight Deck

A multi-agent command center. Spawn, monitor, and coordinate teams of AI agents from a single dashboard.

Flight Deck — Agent Desktop with six AI agents running as a coordinated team

Agent Desktop — monitor, chat with, and configure all agents from one place

Agent Forge

Describe a business goal in plain text. An LLM designs a specialized team with roles, tools, operating procedures, and a lead coordinator.

AI decomposes your objective into agent roles

Review and customize before spawning

Each agent gets tailored tools from 44 available

Fleet instructions with Standard Operating Procedures

Agent Council

Structured multi-agent deliberation. Run brainstorms, debates, reviews, or planning sessions with 2-N agents in moderated rounds.

Agents self-score suitability per topic

Choose actions: answer, challenge, refine, broaden

Moderator synthesizes conclusions, all agents vote

Export as markdown minutes

Fleet Communication

Agents discover peers automatically and collaborate. Synchronous consult or asynchronous delegation with shared workspace.

Auto-discovery of peer agents in the fleet

File transfer and shared clipboard across agents

Working Memory

Current conversation context with smart compaction

Semantic Memory

Vector + BM25 hybrid search across all sessions

Deep Memory

Long-term archive with full-text search

Insights

Auto-extracted facts, contacts, decisions, and deadlines
