Experiment: OpenClaw

OpenClaw is not my project. It is a widely adopted open-source agent framework, built by others, that provides the base layer for autonomous agents: tool use, memory and multi-agent collaboration. I explored it to understand how a general-purpose agent runtime is put together, and why enterprises hesitate to give such agents access to real data and tools — the gap NVIDIA's NemoClaw later targeted. It is listed here as an experiment with someone else's tool, not as something I built.

Built in public to learn something or prove a pattern. Some are published packages, some are demos that live on this site.
