Tencent has opened an international beta for QClaw, an artificial intelligence agent product built by its PC Manager team. T. K. Lin reports for KrASIA that the tool is designed for non-technical users and allows them to deploy and operate AI agents through messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram, without any terminal commands or API configuration.
QClaw is built on the OpenClaw open-source framework. Tencent added a consumer-facing layer to reduce setup barriers. The product supports multiple large language models and allows custom model integration through API keys.
The company says the international version was developed in five days, with 99% of its code generated autonomously by QClaw itself. Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw and currently at OpenAI, endorsed the launch on X (formerly Twitter). According to Tencent, he confirmed collaboration on evaluations, bug fixes, and updates to the open-source repository.
QClaw includes a long-term memory function and a security module called Gateway. Tencent describes Gateway as a real-time monitor that detects malicious instructions and related risks. Agent operations and local file processing run on the user’s device, while inference calls go to selected model providers.
The beta is free and offers 20,000 early access slots. The Chinese version, released in March, reportedly reached over one million users within ten days.
