Claude has fallen out of favor.

The 7×24h "full-time AI employee" is really popular! A retired coder created the god - level Clawdbot, which has become a big hit in Silicon Valley, and even Google bigwigs have joined the game.

In just one day, the 7×24h "full-time AI employee" completely exploded in Silicon Valley.

This AI named "Clawdbot" has been continuously rising in popularity across the network. Its search volume once exceeded that of the god - level Claude Code.

Netizens' spicy comments: RIP Claude Code

It's no exaggeration to say that the entire Silicon Valley has gone "crazy" for Clawdbot. Now, everyone has an "AI Jarvis".

Even Google bigwig Logan Kilpatrick couldn't resist and followed the trend to buy a Mac mini.

To put it simply, Clawdbot is a "Claude with hands".

Ordinary AIs only teach you how to organize files, while Clawdbot just gets straight to the practical operation without much talking.

It is an AI agent under the prototype of AGI. It can not only think, has permanent memory, but also can chat in real - time through iMessage and WhatsApp.

The core of Clawdbot is to put the top - notch LLM "brain" into everyone's mobile phone.

This is equivalent to the 8 billion people around the world collectively getting a "super - intelligent AI employee" who can complete any task 7x24h.

The key is that it is completely open - source and free forever, which even science fiction novels dare not write like this.

Some people place orders for Mac minis at all costs to deploy Clawdbot.

Mac mini has become the hottest "wealth management product" at present

The 7x24h "full - time AI" has shaken up Silicon Valley

Humans can only watch

In just 24 hours, the GitHub project of Clawdbot "exploded". The number of stars soared by 20,700 (only half of that yesterday).

GitHub address: https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot

Seeing the 262 Issues and 89 PRs (in the figure below) submitted across the network, even "the father of Clawdbot" Peter Steinberger couldn't help complaining -

You guys are crazy!

Some netizens commented, "Isn't this old news? Clawdbot is indeed not a newly released AI, and its popularity, like that of Claude Code, has a lag."

At the end of December last year, "Clawdbot" already appeared in Steinberger's article summarizing the 2025 workflow.

At that time, only the AI god Karpathy marveled at its power.

It's just that after some geek developers in Silicon Valley deployed it these days, Clawdbot's amazing operations triggered a craze among developers to show off.

This word - of - mouth effect pushed Clawdbot to the forefront in just a few days.

At this point, developer Shruti spent 40 hours conducting in - depth research on Clawdbot and thoroughly explained the underlying technology of this AI that has become a big hit in Silicon Valley.

Put aside the lofty terms first. As mentioned before, Clawdbot is a "Claude with hands".

Normally, when people chat with Claude, it only gives suggestions. But what if Claude could directly "operate" on the computer according to the requirements?

For example, installing software, running scripts, managing files, monitoring web pages, sending emails...

All of these can be done by simply sending a text command through apps on the mobile phone, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, etc.

This is the core logic of Clawdbot, and it is also the "truly autonomous AI" that everyone imagines.

It is an AI agent that can not only think but also act. There are mainly four points:

1. Can run on personal computers: Not in a cloud - based web page, but directly on personal computers, it can access files, applications, and data.

2. Control anytime and anywhere: Through WhatsApp on the mobile phone, Telegram on the iPad, or even iMessage on the watch, humans no longer have to be tied in front of the browser.

3. Compatible with all applications: Emails, browsers, terminals, scripts... In theory, Clawdbot can handle all tasks that can be done manually autonomously.

4. Can "self - evolve": This is the most amazing part. You can let it develop a new "Skill", and it will write the code itself, install it itself, and then start working.

Ordinary AI: Here is the method to organize files, do it like this...; Clawdbot: Before you even finish reading this sentence, it has already organized the files for you.

So, how does Clawdbot actually run?

The underlying logic is that a person sends a message to WhatsApp or Telegram, and then the message is transmitted to the Gateway on the computer. It is the control center of the entire system.

The gateway will then send the request to Claude (any model API) and execute specific commands on the computer.

People can directly control it through chat software (the most commonly used), the command - line interface (favored by geeks), or the mobile app.

In short, everything runs on the personal local computer, and the gateway is the bridge connecting the instructions and the computer's capabilities.

Clawdbot architecture: Instructions from various platforms are distributed through the central gateway (Gateway) and tasks are executed on the computer

According to the official website introduction, Clawdbot can run on local computers of Mac, Windows, and Linux, and can be connected to Anthropic, OpenAI, or local models.

It has permanent memory and gradually becomes "more understanding of you", including personal preferences and context.

After Shruti's actual test, it was found that the daily efficiency has indeed been improved a lot.

Clawdbot can finish the task of manually organizing electronic files in just 10 seconds; it can condense ten AI security articles that originally took an hour to read into a 5 - minute summary; and it can find all the email addresses in 20 PDFs in 2 minutes.

Clawdbot is everywhere

Netizens: No more coding

For a moment, the entire network was flooded with various actual tests of Clawdbot, and the density was comparable to a tsunami.

No one expected that a "retired" engineer would completely stir up the deep waters of Silicon Valley with an AI.

Even Nikita Bier, the product leader of xAI, sighed, "In this wave of AI, one day is equivalent to ten years."

A developer named Robert Scoble made an "ultimate Clawdbot report", which has gone viral.

This report gathers the most comprehensive actual tests of Clawdbot across the network and introductions to background information.
