A Baidu employee walked on stage in Beijing, spoke a voice command to a Xiaodu smart speaker, and ordered a hot Americano from McDonalds. No screen. No app switching. The OpenClaw agent handled everything.
Baidu unveiled four products in their "lobster family":
- DuMate for desktop
- RedClaw for mobile
- Xiaodu for smart speakers (a first)
- DuClaw for managed cloud hosting (~$2.50/month)
DuClaw validates the managed hosting model. No server setup, no API key juggling, no debugging Docker at midnight.
The catch: China only. Chinese LLMs only. No Claude, no GPT, no Gemini.
