A self-evolving AI app platform — every answer is an interactive app, and the app builds itself.
Enso is an OpenClaw channel plugin that turns conversational AI into on-demand interactive experiences. Ask a question, get a response, then transform it into a live React application — or use the built-in coding agent to build entirely new features without leaving the app. The platform, its tools, and its apps all evolve organically from within.
- Chat — Send a message. Enso routes it through OpenClaw's agent pipeline and streams back a response.
- Enhance — Tap the App button on any response card. Enso generates a self-contained React component tailored to the data.
- Interact — The app is live. Click buttons, sort tables, expand sections. Actions dispatch back to real tools — no round-trip to the LLM needed.
- Orchestrate — State a complex goal. Enso auto-classifies it, assembles a team of specialized agents (researchers, architects, builders), decomposes the goal into a dependency graph, and executes tasks in parallel — building apps along the way.
- Instant app generation — Any AI response can become an interactive React app with one click
- 17 built-in UI components — Tabs, DataTable, Charts (via Recharts), Accordion, Dialog, Stat cards, and more
- Remote desktop — View and control the host machine's desktop via screenshot capture, mouse click, keyboard, and scroll — all from the browser
- Tool integration — File browser, media player, travel planner, meal planner, and automatic bridge to any co-loaded OpenClaw plugin's tools
- Agentic orchestration — State a complex goal and Enso assembles a multi-agent team (researchers, architects, builders), plans a task dependency graph, and executes with parallel agents, approval gates, and live progress tracking
- Smart task routing — Messages are auto-classified as simple questions, one-off tasks (auto-routed to Claude Code), or complex orchestrated missions — no manual commands needed
- Mission Planner — Describe your interests and goals, and Enso proposes and builds a suite of custom apps tailored to your needs
- Build custom apps — Describe what you want, and Enso builds a full app (executors + template) that persists and can be reused
- Refine in place — Type an instruction in app view to regenerate just the template (single LLM call, cheapest iteration)
- Claude Code integration — Run
/codeto open a Claude Code session with streaming terminal output and interactive questions - Remote terminal — Run
/shellto open a real interactive shell (PowerShell on Windows, bash on macOS) with full ANSI color support via xterm.js - Multi-machine remote access — Connect from anywhere via Cloudflare Tunnel with token auth
- Mobile-first — Android app (Capacitor), PWA support, QR code pairing from phone to PC
- Dark theme — Designed for comfortable extended use
Enso ships with production-ready interactive apps that showcase the platform's range. Every app is generated from tool results — the same pipeline you use to build your own.
Ask any question and get a structured research board with key findings, confidence levels, source attribution, embedded videos, and images. Drill into subtopics, compare two topics side-by-side, ask follow-up questions in context, or email the full report.
Say "plan a trip to Tokyo" and get an interactive travel board — restaurants with ratings and cuisine filters, photo spots, landmarks, and YouTube video guides. Click any place for a detailed modal. Send the full itinerary as an HTML email.
Professional photo processing with 28 styles across four categories — Film Stocks (Portra, Ektar, Tri-X, CineStill), Cinematic (Wong Kar-wai, Blade Runner, Wes Anderson, Ghibli), Photographers (Moriyama, Fan Ho, Saul Leiter), and 2026 Trending (Moody Natural, Soft Film, Faded Editorial). Data-driven recipe engine: adding a new style is a JSON entry — zero code changes. Style previews let you see every look before committing. Single-photo and batch processing with automatic thumbnail generation. Photo book creation with aspect-ratio-aware layouts (hero, grid, editorial, panoramic, minimal). Also includes AI-powered descriptions, EXIF metadata, search, favorites, and collections.
A full web browser inside a chat card. Navigate to URLs, click on the page screenshot to interact, type into forms, scroll, and manage bookmarks — all through the agent.
Desktop-grade file browser with breadcrumb navigation, sorting, search, inline previews (text, images, video, audio), and full CRUD operations — create folders, rename, delete, all with confirmation dialogs.
Browse, search, and install OpenClaw skills from the ClawHub marketplace. View skill details, requirements, and README — then install or uninstall with one click.
Scan your development environment — detect git repositories, discover installed dev tools (Node, Python, Docker, etc.), and get project structure overviews with file type statistics.
View and control the host machine's desktop from the browser. Click anywhere on the captured screenshot to interact — mouse clicks map back to real screen coordinates. Type text, send key combos (Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab, etc.), and scroll. Built on native screen capture (node-screenshots) and input automation (@nut-tree-fork/nut-js). Works over remote connections with full token auth.
Run /shell to open a real interactive terminal session in the browser. Full xterm.js rendering with ANSI colors, cursor positioning, and support for interactive programs. Powered by node-pty — spawns PowerShell on Windows or bash/zsh on macOS.
Describe a complex goal — "build me a personal finance system" or "plan my Japan trip" — and Enso automatically assembles a team of specialized agents. A researcher gathers information, an architect designs the solution, builders create apps in parallel, and a reviewer validates the result. The orchestration card shows a live task graph with dependency tracking, approval gates for human-in-the-loop control, and progress updates as agents work. Five agent roles (researcher, architect, builder, coder, reviewer) collaborate through a hub-and-spoke model with shared context.
Run /mission and describe your interests, goals, or workflows. Enso uses Claude Code to analyze your needs, proposes 2–5 custom apps, and lets you approve, edit, or skip each one. Approved apps are built sequentially — each one a full working Enso app with executors and UI. Progress is tracked in real time with per-app status.
Any of these can be built from scratch. Describe what you want in natural language, and Enso's build pipeline creates a full app (executors + template) that persists and can be reused. Or use the Refine flow to iterate on any existing app with a single instruction.
Enso includes a built-in coding environment that closes the loop — the app can build and modify itself from within.
/code opens a full Claude Code terminal session directly inside Enso. You get streaming output, file editing, and interactive yes/no questions — all rendered as chat cards without leaving the app.
This creates an organic evolution cycle:
Use Enso → notice a missing feature → /code "add a weather app"
→ Claude Code edits the codebase → new app appears → use it → refine it → repeat
Three paths to build, from easiest to most powerful:
| Method | What happens | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Enhance | One-click React UI from any response | Quick visualizations |
| Build App | Describe in natural language → Claude Code builds the full app in a live terminal | New tool families |
| Orchestrate | State a complex goal → multi-agent team researches, designs, and builds | End-to-end projects with research + apps |
| Mission Planner | Describe your goals → Enso proposes and builds a suite of apps | Bootstrapping a full workflow |
/code |
Full coding agent edits the actual source code | Deep changes, new integrations, evolving the platform itself |
The server, the apps, and the platform itself all grow from within — no separate IDE or deployment pipeline needed.
