# Overview

> Introduction to the ClawUp managed AI agent platform

ClawUp is a managed AI agent platform focused on:

* One-click agent deployment
* Claw memory inheritance (`Fork From`)
* Tool-based extensibility (MCP + Hermes Hooks)
* Multi-channel support (Telegram, Feishu)
* Multi-agent Teams — create coordinated groups of Claws from templates or AI generation
* Privacy-first and trust operations (zero data retention, all user data encrypted at rest, full audit coverage; Enterprise plan adds confidential containers with hardware-level memory encryption — no third party can access user data)

## Your harness, your agent, your memory

ClawUp is an **open agent harness**. Three choices always stay in your hands:

1. **Your harness.** Pick OpenClaw or Hermes Agent at create time — both are open implementations with the same management API. See [Runtimes](/src/runtimes).
2. **Your agent.** Bring any frontier model via BYOK (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI) or pay from your balance in Managed mode. The model picker auto-refreshes from each provider's catalog.
3. **Your memory.** Every Claw's workspace, persona, and state live in a container you can back up, restore, export, and self-host. No state hidden behind a SaaS API; no model-specific memory format.

That's the architectural bet: a closed harness makes your agent replicable by anyone with the same tools. An open harness with portable memory makes your agent *yours*.

Core management surfaces:

* **Agent -> Teams**: create and manage multi-agent teams
* **Agent -> Tools -> Marketplace / Installed** (user): bind tools to Claws and manage lifecycle; users can also [submit their own MCP tools](/src/mcp-submissions) for review
* **Account -> Billing / Logs / Quests**: recharge, operational traceability, and rewards
* **Settings -> Tool Registry** (admin): register MCP / Hermes Hooks tools and review user submissions

ClawUp supports two agent runtimes — OpenClaw (Node.js, default) and Hermes Agent (Python). See [Runtimes](/src/runtimes) for the full comparison.

Terminology:

* **Runtime**: the engine powering a Claw's container. One of `openclaw` or `hermes`. See [Runtimes](/src/runtimes).
* **MCP tool**: external MCP server exposing tools that the agent can invoke during conversations.
* **Hermes Hook tool**: event-driven TypeScript script running inside the Gateway, triggered automatically by system events (messages, commands, sessions, etc.).
* **Channel**: messaging platform connection (Telegram, Feishu) configured during Claw creation.
