What is ironclaw?
IronClaw is a security-focused open-source AI agent framework built in Rust, which you deploy on NEAR AI Cloud or run locally. It accesses the user's tools and services and handles tasks such as sorting email, morning briefings, meeting prep, and monitoring deployment status. API keys, tokens, and passwords are kept in an encrypted vault and injected only into requests to allowed endpoints, so the AI never sees the raw values. Cloud instances run inside a trusted execution environment (TEE), and each tool runs in a Wasm sandbox. It can be used through a web interface, Slack, Telegram, and the terminal.
- Encrypted credential vault and host-boundary injection
- Per-tool Wasm sandbox and endpoint allowlist
- One-click deployment to NEAR AI Cloud TEE (encrypted enclave)
- Real-time detection and blocking of data exfiltration
- Multi-channel: web, Slack, Telegram, terminal
- Choice of 25+ LLM providers
- Parallel jobs, hybrid-search persistent memory, heartbeat
- Automation of cron, event, and webhook routines
Who uses ironclaw and for what
- Tidying the inbox and drafting replies every morning
