Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about QClaw.
QClaw is a product developed by Tencent that packages the open-source OpenClaw AI agent framework into an easy-to-use, one-click deployment solution. It enables users to run AI agents locally on their machines and interact with them through WeChat and QQ messaging platforms.
QClaw itself is free to download and install. However, you may need API keys for the AI models you wish to use (such as Kimi or MiniMax), which may have their own pricing. Some models offer free tiers for personal use.
QClaw runs entirely on your local machine, which means your data stays under your control. The application does not send your conversations to external servers beyond the AI model API calls you explicitly configure. Always download QClaw from official sources to ensure safety.
QClaw currently supports Kimi, MiniMax, and allows you to connect custom AI models via API. The team is continuously adding support for more models with each update.
QClaw's agent server runs on your desktop computer (Windows or macOS). However, once connected, you can interact with the QClaw bot from your mobile WeChat or QQ app, as it appears as a regular contact in your chat list.
No! QClaw is designed for general users with a one-click installation process. No coding or technical knowledge is required to set up and use QClaw. Advanced users can customize agent behaviors through configuration files.
