OpenClaw
OpenClaw 🦞 — Your assistant, on your devices, in your chats
OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own computer and meets you in the channels you already use: Discord, iMessage, Slack, Teams, Telegram, WhatsApp, and 20+ more, plus native apps for macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux. One Gateway runs it as a personal assistant on a laptop or as a shared team deployment; configuration is the only difference.
Yours, with no catch. State, memory, and credentials live on your hardware. Models and agent harnesses (Claude, Codex, local models) are plugins you can swap without changing anything else. Your prompts go to the model provider and chat platforms you configure, plus any diagnostics export you enable yourself; by default OpenClaw itself phones home for nothing but a daily version check, anonymous feature statistics are opt-in, and update.checkOnStart: false disables both (what OpenClaw sends)…
I tried using OpenClaw, but I had some concerns about its security. So I decided to do a bit of research to see if there were any alternative options.
I'm testing zeroclaw now 💪

AgentTeams
An open-source Collaborative Multi-Agent OS for transparent, human-in-the-loop task coordination via Matrix rooms.
AgentTeams 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, Hermes, and experimental DeepSeek Harness Workers coexist in the same IM room. Use the runtime that best fits each role while keeping collaboration visible in Matrix.

PicoClaw: Ultra-Efficient AI Assistant in Go

中文 | 日本語 | 한국어 | Português | Tiếng Việt | Français | Italiano | Bahasa Indonesia | Malay | English
PicoClaw is an independent open-source project initiated by Sipeed, written entirely in Go from scratch — not a fork of OpenClaw, NanoBot, or any other project.
PicoClaw is an ultra-lightweight personal AI assistant inspired by NanoBot. It was rebuilt from the ground up in Go through a "self-bootstrapping" process — the AI Agent itself drove the architecture migration and code optimization.
Runs on $10 hardware with <10MB RAM — that's 99% less memory than OpenClaw and 98% cheaper than a Mac mini!

Agents in Slack: one app per agent 
Setup provisions each agent its own Slack app: manifest, avatar, and workspace install, no tokens to paste Spawn teammates from chat: every one gets its own bot identity, container, and memory, with shared rooms and canvases.
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…

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).

Overview
ClawX bridges the gap between powerful AI agents and everyday users. Built on top of OpenClaw, it transforms command-line AI orchestration into an accessible, beautiful desktop experience - no terminal required.
Whether you're automating workflows, managing AI-powered channels, or scheduling intelligent tasks, ClawX provides the interface you need to harness AI agents effectively.
ClawX comes pre-configured with best-practice model providers and natively supports Windows as well as multi-language settings. Compaction reserves use 25% of an explicitly configured model context window, or a conservative 50000-token fallback when that metadata is absent; completed turns continue through the summary instead of being replayed verbatim after compaction. Developer Mode shows the applied reserve value. You can also fine-tune advanced configurations via Settings -> Advanced -> Developer…
