What changes from OpenClaw

Same ReAct agent loop and tool-calling model. Different engine underneath.

OpenClaw

–Python runtime
–SQLite local storage
–Single-user
–No real-time events
–Manual tool wiring
–Local-only memory

nClaw

✓Rust core (10x throughput)
✓PostgreSQL via Hasura GraphQL
✓Multi-tenant with Auth
✓Mux pub/sub for real-time
✓Auto-discovery from nSelf plugins
✓Persistent memory across sessions

Powered by the full nSelf stack

nClaw is not a standalone binary. It runs on the same infrastructure you already use for your app.

PostgreSQL

Conversation & memory storage

Hasura GraphQL

API layer for all AI data

Auth

User management & permissions

Mux (pub/sub)

Real-time event routing

AI runtime

Rust agent engine

Nginx

TLS termination & routing

Everything you need from an AI agent

OpenClaw parity plus what only a real backend can provide.

Rust-powered performance

The agent runtime, tool execution, and memory indexing are written in Rust. Sub-millisecond tool dispatch. Handles hundreds of concurrent sessions on a single VPS.

ReAct reasoning loop

Think, act, observe. nClaw plans multi-step tasks, executes tools, reads results, and adapts. Full parity with OpenClaw's agent loop, running on your hardware.

Mux pub/sub messaging

Real-time event routing between agents, tools, and clients via the nSelf mux plugin. Stream tool results, subscribe to agent state, broadcast to connected UIs.

PostgreSQL + Hasura GraphQL

Conversations, memory, tool results, and agent state are stored in PostgreSQL and exposed via Hasura. Query your AI's history with GraphQL. No SQLite limitations.

Tool auto-discovery

Every installed nSelf plugin automatically registers its tools. Install the analytics plugin and nClaw can query your metrics. Install commerce and it can check orders. Zero config.

Multi-provider AI

OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Switch providers in one env var. Run fully local with Ollama or use cloud APIs. Your choice.

Persistent memory

Semantic summaries stored in PostgreSQL across sessions. Ask "what did we discuss last week?" and get a real answer. Memory indexed by the Rust engine for fast retrieval.

Multi-tenant with Auth

nSelf Auth handles users, roles, and permissions. Each user gets their own agent context. Team workspaces share tools but isolate conversations. Built-in, not bolted on.

Full data sovereignty

Every conversation, every memory, every tool result stays on your server. Zero telemetry. Token usage tracked locally. You own your AI's brain.

Open-source client apps

The nClaw frontend apps are fully open source. Bring your own server, use our clients.
