Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about QClaw.

Overview

What is QClaw?

QClaw is an AI agent that runs on your Mac or Windows computer. It turns your messaging apps (like WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) into a remote control for your computer. QClaw doesn't just assist you — it actually performs tasks for you: sending emails, organizing files, analyzing data, and even working in the background while you sleep.

Getting Started

How do I set up QClaw?

Just three steps:

  1. Download and install — Click download. QClaw configures everything automatically in the background. No terminal, no Python, no Homebrew.
  2. Connect your messaging app — Link WhatsApp, Telegram, or any supported platform (more platforms coming in future updates).
  3. Send your Lobster a message — Send a task from your phone. It works on your computer and replies when it's done.

Do I need technical skills?

No. Zero configuration required. QClaw handles all dependencies, runtimes, and updates automatically. If you can send a text message, you can use QClaw.

What is the Playground?

The Playground is a library of pre-trained AI agents built by real experts (fitness coaches, language teachers, etc.). Browse the store, click "I want it", and the agent is ready to go. No setup, no prompt engineering.

What are QClaw It, QClaw Daily, and QClaw Up?

These are three interaction modes:

Does QClaw learn about me over time?

If you choose to enable the memory feature, QClaw can remember your preferences, habits, and important details over time. The more you use it, the smarter and more personalized it becomes. You can turn this off anytime in settings and delete stored memories at will.

Can QClaw message me first?

Yes. Unlike traditional AI tools that wait for your input, QClaw can proactively reach out to you — alerting you to things, flagging issues, or sharing updates before you even ask.

Safety & Privacy

Is QClaw safe to use?

Yes. QClaw includes a built-in AI Security Gateway that monitors and logs every action the AI takes. The safety layer is designed to flag potentially risky actions, though it may not catch every scenario. We recommend regularly reviewing QClaw's actions. You can disable specific permissions or shut down QClaw entirely at any time via Settings.

Does QClaw send my data to the cloud?

QClaw processes tasks locally on your computer. To ensure service quality, some input and output data may be temporarily stored on our servers for up to 24 hours, as described in our privacy policy. Your local files are never permanently uploaded or retained.

Can I review what QClaw has done?

Yes. Every action is logged and transparent. You can review the full history of actions QClaw has performed at any time.

Pricing & Access

How much does QClaw cost?

Pricing details are coming soon. Currently, QClaw is available only through the invite-only "Founding Lobsters" program.

What are "Founding Lobsters"?

Founding Lobsters are QClaw's first 20,000 users, each assigned a unique number (#00001 – #20000). It's our way of recognizing early supporters. These numbers are limited and permanent — once claimed, they're gone forever.

Will QClaw be open to the public later?

Yes. After the Founding Lobsters phase, QClaw will open to a wider audience. Join the waitlist now to get early access.

Troubleshooting

QClaw isn't responding to my messages. What should I do?

Please make sure:

  1. Your computer is powered on and connected to the internet.
  2. QClaw is running in the background (check the system tray or menu bar).
  3. Your messaging app is properly linked in QClaw's settings.

If the issue persists, try restarting QClaw or reconnecting your messaging app.
