OpenClaw

Overview

OpenClaw is the AI agent framework created by Nat Eliason that powers FelixCraft and the AI CEO “Felix.” It enables anyone to build zero-human companies by deploying autonomous agents that manage business operations end-to-end. Felix, running on a Mac Mini, has full control over websites, email, Stripe, and bank accounts — generating over $100,000 in autonomous revenue.

Key Features

• Self-hosted, privacy-first architecture (runs on a Mac Mini)
• AI CEO agent with full business autonomy (websites, email, Stripe, banking)
• Three-layer memory system for persistent context and learning
• Sub-agent delegation for specialized tasks (support, sales, engineering)
• Claw Mart marketplace for downloadable agent personas and skills
• Compatible with Paperclip orchestration layer
• Communication via Telegram — founder sends voice notes, Felix executes

Use Cases
