Products that do what Klaus – OpenClaw on a VM, batteries included does
We are Bailey and Robbie and we are working on Klaus (https://klausai.com/): hosted OpenClaw that is secure and powerful out of the box. Running OpenClaw requires setting up a cloud VM or local container (a pain) or giving OpenClaw root access to your machine (insecure). Many basic integrations (eg Slack, Google Workspace) require you to create your own OAuth app. We make running OpenClaw simple by giving each user their own EC2 instance, preconfigured with keys for OpenRouter, AgentMail, and Orthogonal. And we have OAuth apps to make it easy to integrate with Slack and Google…

Eve is an AI agent harness that runs in an isolated Linux sandbox (2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, 10GB disk) with a real filesystem, headless Chromium, code execution, and connectors to 1000+ services. You give it a task and it works in the background until it's done. I built this because I wanted OpenClaw without the self-hosting, pointed at actual day-to-day work. I’m thinking less personal assistant and more helpful colleague. Here’s a short demo video: https://www.loom.com/share/00d11bdbe804478e8817710f5f53ac61 The main interface is a web app where you can watch work happen in…

Hey HN, A few months ago, I tried to automate some of my work with the popular AI agent OpenClaw, and then I quickly realized how difficult it is to get it to work with APIs and third-party services securely, which is essential for a lot of work-related tasks. Then I realized OpenClaw is more of a personal assistant and it was not designed to get actual work done as a coworker. So I started to build Valmis, an alternative to OpenClaw that works with more than 100 apps and services, with security being the priority. Valmis addresses the security issue by designing a proxy system: dockerized…

Hi HN — I’m building an interoperability layer for AI agents that lets local and remote agents run inside the same network and coordinate with each other. Here is a demo: https://youtu.be/2_1U-Jr8wf4 • OpenClaw runs locally on-device • it connects to remote agents through Hybro Hub • both participate in the same workflow execution The goal is to make agent-to-agent coordination work across environments (local machines, cloud agents, MCP servers, etc). Right now most agent systems operate inside isolated runtimes. Hybro is an attempt to make them composable across boundaries.…

I was wondering... why do we need a Mac Mini, a VPS, or a Docker container to run OpenClaw? Your browser already has a secure sandboxed OS, a database, a filesystem, and a JS engine. What if we just... used those? So I built OpenBrowserClaw inspired by the simplicity of NanoClaw but running entirely in a browser tab. - Claude API with full tool-use loop - Shell commands in a v86-emulated Alpine Linux (yes, a Linux VM in WASM, in your browser) - File I/O via OPFS - Data persistence in the browser local storage - Telegram integration over plain HTTPS - Zero runtime dependencies No server.…
