clawe

What it does

Runs several agents that each have an identity and a workspace, wake on cron to look for work, and coordinate through shared files and a Convex backend, with a kanban board and a dashboard to watch them. The scheduling is the thing to watch: agents that wake on their own keep spending until you stop them, and shared context passes through a hosted service. AGPL-3.0. Quiet since February 2026.

clawe FAQ

Is clawe free?

clawe itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use clawe?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does clawe work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use clawe commercially?

The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
