What Is OpenClaw and Why It Matters

12min Originals

6 mins

An Austrian programmer built in one hour the software that is transforming China. OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent that does not just talk... it acts: it replies to emails, operates programs, buys tickets, and works around the clock. Millions of Chinese are "raising lobsters," local governments are offering multimillion-yuan subsidies, and a new model of one-person companies is emerging. But the security risks are real. This Radar covers both sides of the revolution.
