On April 21, QClaw, an AI agent product developed by the Tencent PC Manager team, officially entered its international beta phase. For its overseas expansion, QClaw continues its "minimalist" strategy, emphasizing zero-threshold, deployment-free, and instant usability. Built on the open-source OpenClaw framework, the product is primarily designed for non-technical users and supports local operation on Windows and macOS devices.
The international version deeply integrates with mainstream instant messaging tools like WhatsApp and Telegram, allowing users to call multiple top-tier international large models through simple conversation to quickly implement AI agents in daily productivity and knowledge management.
Notably, Peter Steinberger, the founder of OpenClaw and currently at OpenAI, publicly expressed his support for the product's launch on X. Steinberger revealed that the Tencent team collaborated closely with the OpenClaw project during development, providing extensive evaluation data to improve OpenClaw’s harness performance and contributing fixes and improvements back to the open-source community. Tencent stated that the international version was developed in just five days, with 99% of its code generated autonomously by QClaw itself, based on over 80 feature iterations from the Chinese version.
To attract early adopters, Tencent introduced an aggressive incentive program during the beta period. QClaw is giving away 40 million tokens daily to beta users (valued at approximately $700 per day) and has opened 20,000 "Founding Claw" spots. Currently, the QClaw international beta is available in countries and regions including the United States, Canada, Singapore, and South Korea, supporting multiple languages such as Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Korean. It also features a built-in security module called "Claw Gateway," providing full-process instruction detection and risk protection.
