AgentTeams
An open-source Collaborative Multi-Agent OS for transparent, human-in-the-loop task coordination via Matrix rooms.
AgentTeams (formerly HiClaw) is an open-source collaborative multi-agent runtime platform. It enables multiple Agents to collaborate in a controlled and auditable room, with full human visibility and intervention capabilities throughout the process..
Built on a Manager-Workers architecture, AgentTeams features a Manager that centrally orchestrates multiple Workers, focusing on collaboration scenarios between humans and Agents, as well as among Agents within enterprise environments.
AgentTeams does not compete with other Agent runtimes. Instead of implementing Agent logic itself, it orchestrates and manages multiple Agent containers (including the Manager and numerous Workers).
Key Features
-
🧬 Manager-Workers Architecture: Eliminates the need for human oversight of individual Worker Claws by enabling Agents to manage other Agents.
-
🤝 Multi-Runtime Collaboration: OpenClaw, QwenPaw, and Hermes Workers coexist in the same IM room. Use deterministic agents (OpenClaw/QwenPaw) as Leaders to orchestrate tasks, and Hermes Workers for autonomous code execution —…

Why I Built NanoClaw
OpenClaw is an impressive project, but I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I had given complex software I didn't understand full access to my life. OpenClaw has nearly half a million lines of code, 53 config files, and 70+ dependencies. Its security is at the application level (allowlists, pairing codes) rather than true OS-level isolation. Everything runs in one Node process with shared memory.
NanoClaw provides that same core functionality, but in a codebase small enough to understand: one process and a handful of files. Claude agents run in their own Linux containers with filesystem isolation, not merely behind permission checks.

Fast, small, and fully autonomous AI personal assistant infrastructure, any OS, any platform — deploy anywhere, swap anything 🦀
🦀 ZeroClaw — Personal AI Assistant
You own the agent. You own the data. You own the machine it runs on.
Docs · Philosophy · Quick start · Architecture · Discord
ZeroClaw is an agent runtime — a single Rust binary you configure and run. It talks to LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, and ~20 others), reaches the world through 30+ channels (Discord, Telegram, Matrix, email, voice, webhooks, your own CLI), and acts through tools (shell, browser, HTTP, hardware, custom MCP servers). Everything runs on your machine, with your keys, in your workspace.
Read the Philosophy for the four opinions that shape it.
Install
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/master/install.sh | bash
Or clone and run:
git clone https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
cd zeroclaw
./install.sh
The installer asks whether you want a prebuilt binary (fast, ~seconds) or a source build (slower, customisable). Both end the same way: zeroclaw quickstart kicks off automatically.

IronClaw Reborn Quick Start
IronClaw Reborn is the standalone runtime on the reborn-integration branch
It uses the separate ironclaw-reborn binary from the
ironclaw_reborn_cli package and a separate Reborn state root. It does not use
the legacy ironclaw state directory as its config root.
For the older ironclaw binary, see Installation and
Legacy IronClaw Usage.
Build or run the binary
From the repo root:
cargo run -q -p ironclaw_reborn_cli --bin ironclaw-reborn -- --help
Or build it first:
cargo build -p ironclaw_reborn_cli --bin ironclaw-reborn
./target/debug/ironclaw-reborn --help
The default Reborn home is $HOME/.ironclaw/reborn. Override it with an
absolute path when you want isolated state:
export IRONCLAW_REBORN_HOME="$PWD/.reborn-home"

Natural language control of ROS2 robots through messaging apps, powered by AI agents.
RosClaw connects OpenClaw to ROS2 (the Robot Operating System) through an intelligent plugin layer. Send a message on Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack — the robot moves. Connect to your own robot or "lease" any robot registered into our portal globally. Each robot registers their own profile with capabilitie.
Whethere it's a cute desk robot or a humanoid robot, all you have to do is install our OpenClaw extension and run our ROS2 packakge.

Personal autonomous agent powered by Gemini CLI. Orchestrates scheduling, persistent memory, MCP tools, and multi-channel messaging.
An extension for Gemini CLI that adds autonomous agent orchestration.
Scheduling · Memory · MCP Tools · Multi-channel Messaging
Why GeminiClaw?
GeminiClaw extends Gemini CLI — it doesn't replace it. All LLM reasoning, tool use, and sandbox execution happen inside Gemini CLI via ACP. GeminiClaw never touches OAuth tokens or calls backend services directly — it spawns Gemini CLI processes and communicates over stdio.
- ACP process pool — Keeps warm Gemini CLI processes with session affinity. Stateful multi-turn conversations without replay overhead.
- Thin orchestration layer — Scheduling is Inngest. Search is QMD. Messaging is Chat SDK. GeminiClaw is the glue, not another agent framework.
- Sandboxed by default — Every agent run executes inside Gemini CLI's Docker sandbox. Tool use is isolated from day one.
- Bring your own auth — Authentication is handled entirely by Gemini CLI. GeminiClaw supports whatever auth method you configure (Google OAuth, API key, Vertex AI).
