ZeroClaw

ZeroClaw is a zero-config autonomous AI agent. It wraps a native binary runtime in a clean Node.js SDK and exposes an HTTP/WebSocket gateway for chat and agentic tasks (http://localhost:3000).

Supports optional browser automation and multiple LLM backends via a simple TOML config file.

LOCAL AI

Run 'zeroclaw.inference-snap' to detect a Canonical inference snap (gemma4, gemma3, deepseek-r1, and others) and configure it as ZeroClaw's active provider in one step — fully offline, no API key required.

SETUP

No configuration is required to start. The background gateway service starts automatically the first time you run any zeroclaw command and is managed as a standard systemd user unit:

systemctl --user status zeroclaw systemctl --user stop zeroclaw

To connect a chat platform or configure a non-default LLM:

zeroclaw configure

SECURITY NOTE

This tool is capable of executing code, accessing files, and interacting with external services on your behalf. Due to the nature of autonomous AI agents, we recommend installing and running this snap inside an LXD container as best practice. A container provides an extra layer of confinement, limiting the agent's reach to the container environment and reducing exposure to your host system and personal data.
