OpenClaw, nanobot, PicoClaw/Clawlet, Agent Zero, ZeroClaw, and memU aren’t one category. This post maps the layers and the real tradeoffs: execution, security posture, packaging, extensibility, and memory economics—plus a comparison matrix and recommendations.
Moltbook is the most interesting ‘second-order product’ to come out of the Clawdbot/MoltBot/OpenClaw wave: a social network designed for agents, with a clean API and multi-platform SDKs. It’s also a signal that the ecosystem is maturing into a services layer: skill directories, long-term memory systems, and autonomous GitHub/ops assistants.
A deep dive into the viral personal AI agent that captured the world’s imagination, its technical architecture, serious security vulnerabilities, and the broader trend of agentic AI systems transforming how we work.
