IF 2023 IS THE YEAR OF THE BIG MODEL, 2025-2026 IS DEFINITELY THE YEAR OF THE "AI" AgentThe outbreak period”。
And in this waveClawThe family and its derived ecology are undoubtedly the brightest stars。
From the first OpenClaw to today's multi-flower variants and competitions, they are redefining the boundaries of the Personal AI Assistant。
Today, I'm putting together seven very representative Claws that are now on the market, to see what they're dealing with and what kind of user they're for。
1. OpenClaw
Introduction: The flagship open source project in the AI Agent area, which aims to create a common personal assistant who operates on any operating system and connects to any message platform。
Functional characteristics:
Supporting platform-wide access to news channels such as Telegram, WhatsApp, Flying Book and Slack
(a) The built-in robust browser automation capability (based on the Chrome DevTools Protocol)
A well-developed memory system, plugin ecology and skills market (AgentSkills)
The community is active, the GitHub sign has exceeded 228,000 and the ecology is extremely rich。

2. NanoClaw
Introduction: OpenClaw, an "Exact version" initiated by community developers, is designed for users seeking code transparency and light deployment。
Functional characteristics:
The source code is only 15 core documents, with the official assertion that “eight minutes is fully understood”
Using the Docker container isolation mechanism, each group Agent operated independently and was more secure
"Code is configuration", zero configuration file burden
Fits to a user who wants to control every line。

3. ZeroClaw
Introduction: Very lightweight Agent based on Rust's rewriting, with “zero cost abstraction” and high performance。
Functional characteristics:
OPERATING MEMORY OCCUPANCY CONTROLS ARE WITHIN 5MB, WHICH CAN RUN SMOOTHLY ON LOW-COST HARDWARE (E.G., $10 EQUIPMENT)
100% Rust, undependent when running externally, compiled into a single binary document
Trait-driven architecture, with all components available for insertion, taking into account flexibility and security
Default security by default, no GC pause and data competition risk。
- Project address:https://www.1ai.net/50357.html
4. GoClaw
Introduction: OpenClaw ported to Go language developers, taking into account familiarity and practicality。
Functional characteristics:
Standard Go-modular design with clear structures and smooth learning curves
Compatible with OpenClaw skills system, with direct reuse of existing Skills
Support for Docker sandbox operation or compilation into a single binary deployment
Fits Go Eco Developer to quickly build customized Agent。

5. Copaw
Introduction: Nationally produced AI Agent platform launched by Aliyun, for the OpenClaw target, in-depth integration of mainstream communications ecology within the country。
Functional characteristics:
ORIGINAL SUPPORT FOR HIGH-FREQUENCY CHAT SOFTWARE, SUCH AS NAILS, QQQ, WHICH ACHIEVES "RESPOND WHERE YOU SPEAK"
Support for a very simple local deployment and a double-winding of the cloud
Flexible expansion of functionality by self-defined Skill
There is great potential for a follow-up plan。
- Product Address:https://www.1ai.net/50362.html
6. LobsterAI
Introduction: Web-enabled 7x24 hours of digital staff: with lobster, automated delivery of focused office scenes。
Functional characteristics:
AUTOMATICALLY COMPLETE COMPLEX OFFICE TASKS SUCH AS PRODUCTION OF PPTS, DATA ANALYSIS AND DIRECT OUTPUT
Integration of OpenClaw's cross-application implementation capability with Claude Cowork's visual GUI interface
(a) To reject command lines completely and lower the threshold for use by ordinary users
It is fully open and suitable for enterprise-level automation needs。
- Project address:https://www.1ai.net/50361.html
Kimi Claw
Brief: The dark side of the moon is based on the cloud host Agent based on the K2.5 model, the first national production model integration programme to be promoted by the official OpenClaw。
Functional characteristics:
Run directly in the browser without local installation and open the box
Over 5,000 practical skills for seamless access to the ClawHub community
Examples of OpenClaw locally deployed by associated users, synchronized with historical memory
It is appropriate for users seeking easy experience and non-technical background。

AI Agent is moving from a toy to a tool for all
Looking back at these seven tools, I have a clear sense of an evolutionary dynamic: from complexity to simplicity, from local to cloudy, from technology to user-oriented。
OpenClaw lays the foundations of ecology, while NanoClaw, ZeroClaw, and GoClaw respond to the need for a breakdown of “readability”, “performance” and “linguistic propriety”, respectively; CoPaw and LobsterAiza, a fundamental landscape to address real office pains; and Kimi Claw further lowers the threshold for use, allowing ordinary users to embrace AI Agent easily。
AS PRODUCT MANAGER, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE FUTURE AI IS NOT A MINORITY PRIVILEGE, BUT A DAILY PARTNER FOR EVERYONE。
As these tools continue to evolve and become universal, we're leaving "one for all."Smart AssistantThe vision, really, is getting closer。
