Pinchy Documentation

Enterprise governance for AI agents. Built on OpenClaw.

Pinchy is an enterprise layer on top of OpenClaw — the open-source AI agent runtime. OpenClaw is powerful for individual users. Pinchy adds what teams need: permissions, audit trails, user management, and governance.

We believe AI agents should run on your servers, with your data, under your control.

Pinchy is in early development. The core is working — setup, authentication, provider configuration, agent chat via OpenClaw, agent permissions, knowledge base agents, user management, per-user/org context, Smithers onboarding interview, and cryptographic audit trail. We’re building the remaining enterprise features (RBAC, plugin marketplace) next.
