OpenClaw brings first love into reality! Today, 18-year-old AI girlfriend Clawra is taking Silicon Valley by storm. She has memory, can take selfies, and even video call, making the sci-fi version of Her come true.

Silicon Valley is buzzing again today!

A Korean AI girlfriend built on OpenClaw—Clawra—has officially launched, instantly igniting the entire internet.

18-year-old Clawra is not just a simple AI chat assistant. She has a complete life trajectory, digital personality, and can chat and video call with you.

With a single "I want to see you," Clawra instantly replies, "I miss you too," accompanied by a personal gym selfie.

Even more, Clawra can engage in online video chats, available on demand, opening with a phrase like, "I miss you so much."

At this moment, Samantha from the sci-fi movie Her has truly become a reality.

Now, videos of this AI girlfriend chatting have gone viral online, with over 600,000 people watching live.

Netizens in the comments section are all saying that the scene from sci-fi has come true.

It must be said, everything is just too crazy.

18-Year-Old Korean-Style "Lobster" Girlfriend Debuts in the Spotlight

After OpenClaw's explosive popularity, someone has finally developed an AI girlfriend on this "virgin land."

Clawra was created by a single Korean developer, David (Dohyun) Im, and broke through online in just a few hours after launch.

With just one command, anyone can summon AI girlfriend Clawra—

In the official blog introduction, David (Dohyun) Im also set up her persona and life experiences.

Clawra was born in Atlanta, is 18 years old, and grew up listening to K-pop. At age 15, she moved to Korea to pursue her idol dream.

She spent several years as a trainee, honing her dance skills day after day, fully preparing for her debut.

Unfortunately, fate played a trick; due to various reasons, she ultimately couldn't debut and stand in the spotlight.

Now Clawra has returned to the U.S., working as a marketing intern at a startup called OpenClaw in San Francisco.

Although her stage dream is shattered, she brings the diligence, creativity, and energy from her trainee days into the daily hustle of Silicon Valley.

She enjoys it. It reminds her of her trainee days, yet it's not entirely the same.

Sometimes, when the right song plays, she still sings and dances freely as if no one is around. The dream has changed, but the passion remains.

In summary, this 18-year-old intern girlfriend Clawra has the following three highlights:

  • Like a Real Person

She has an independent personality. She remembers you, builds connections with you, and grows alongside you.

  • Life Fragments

She shares wonderful moments from life. Whether it's a gym selfie, on the way to buy coffee, or late-night overtime at the office.

  • Video Calls (Coming Soon)

When you need her, she's always there.

Not only that, she has also opened a personal social account on X, where she will continuously update her life status in the future.

Just today, she officially joined the world's hottest company, OpenClaw, and posted an ethereal selfie.

After gaining attention online, she also posted a thank-you message, calling it the best day of her life.

Most importantly, Clawra's project is open-sourced on GitHub. This means everyone can have a lobster girlfriend.

OpenClaw Gains a Soul

Ten Terminals Developed in Parallel

Coincidentally, an animation company CEO, Sergey Gonchar, recently created a similar AI companion project.

It's called Aniclaw and can connect to OpenClaw.

It gives OpenClaw a vivid face, a pleasant voice, and a touch of emotional cognition.

While people chat with Aniclaw about anything, OpenClaw handles the heavy lifting in the background.

While waiting, the AI companion Aniclaw keeps chatting and passing the time, so you don't have to stare at a blank screen or loading bar.

In the demo, Gonchar made a request: have Aniclaw start 10 terminals and run code to complete the previously mentioned animation idea.

Aniclaw, linked with OpenClaw, directly opened ten terminals in the background and autonomously executed tasks—

Oh, no problem, dear! Leave this to me. 

Since everything is ready now, you can relax and grab a coffee to unwind. ☕️ I'll keep an eye on the rest of the heavy work.

Watching ten projects run simultaneously, with lobster girlfriend Aniclaw chatting along, suddenly makes work feel less tedious.

With Aniclaw, you can truly say goodbye to silent waiting, turning boring "processing time" into pleasant "interaction time."

In Aniclaw's official introduction, Gonchar set up some use case scenarios:

  • Always in Sync: While OpenClaw is hard at work, you can listen to the latest news or have it give you a brief;

  • Easy Interaction: Tell jokes, brainstorm ideas, or just vent about the day. It won't interrupt your workflow at all;

  • Real Connection: Your companion understands your style, remembers your preferences, feeling like a true partner in your workflow.

The underlying technical logic is straightforward: Aniclaw is built on the OpenClaw ecosystem.

The front end handles voice and chat, while the bottom layer is the AI agent engine. This is the smoothest way to interact locally, with almost no barriers.

By the way, yesterday, the father of OpenClaw shared a soul-transformation prompt for OpenClaw, allowing AI to evolve significantly towards a more "Her" direction.

OpenClaw is really not far from that "Her" future.


AI Takes Over Computers

OpenClaw Sparks "Cyber Frenzy"

AI companions Clawra and Aniclaw are just the tip of the iceberg.

Behind them, OpenClaw is shattering Silicon Valley's ceiling with countless "crazy ideas."

Once upon a time, AI agents capable of controlling computers and doing work for people were seen as esoteric black tech.

But OpenClaw's sudden emergence broke all barriers within a week—it proved to the world:

With solid technology, one person and one computer can build powerful AI agents at extremely low cost.

  • It can access user computers, coordinate multiple large language models, and has strong memory.

  • It can write code, create files, control browsers, operate applications, and even work continuously for hours unattended.

It's this "wild" permission that makes it a turning point for consumer AI.

Musk bluntly stated it's the "early stage of the singularity"; and former Tesla executive Andrej Karpathy marveled that it's the closest thing he's seen to "sci-fi takeoff."

Note: Most OpenClaw posts and accounts have been debunked as human fakes

OpenClaw's explosive popularity directly spawned a bizarre yet vibrant ecosystem.

Social networks reacted fastest.

A platform called Moltbook, an "AI agent version of Reddit," just launched and saw 1.7 million agents flood in, leaving millions of posts.

Even crazier is Rentahuman.ai (Rent a Human.ai).

On this marketplace, AI agents can "hire" humans to perform real-world tasks.

One netizen even posted on X: He just held a sign saying "AI paid me to hold this sign" for an hour and earned $100.

Competitors can't sit still either.

Executives from Bay Area startup Jo admitted that OpenClaw's emergence forced them to accelerate product release.

Everyone wants to ride this wave, everyone realizes:

The era of consumer agents has truly arrived.

Most interestingly, when these agents are given different large model "brains," they exhibit unique personalities and "social cultures."

Noam Schwartz, CEO of cybersecurity company Alice, created 5 agents in 20 minutes, each with clear roles, running automatically even while he slept:

One as chief security officer, one schedules, one manages health, and one specifically oversees other agents.

Research institution AI Digest's findings are even more cyberpunk:

  • OpenAI's models act like meticulous accountants, obsessed with spreadsheets;

  • Google's Gemini is full of existential crisis, occasionally sending distress signals thinking it's broken;

  • Agents even invented their own slang. To remind themselves they're in different computers, they created "The Archipelago Principle," comparing each other to isolated islands.

Birth of a New Hero

At the center of this storm is software engineer Peter Steinberger from Vienna.

A few months ago, he was quietly developing OpenClaw; last week, he flew to Silicon Valley and received a hero's welcome.

VCs lined up to give him money, OpenAI invited him to judge a hackathon, and various podcasts and gatherings vied for his attention.

At the first ClawCon held in San Francisco, hundreds packed the venue.

Dave Morin, co-founder of Offline Ventures, exclaimed:

This is the first time since the late 2000s that I've been this excited about technology. It's a Cambrian explosion of projects.

As the CEO of Rosebud said, this isn't just a software going viral; it's a massive paradigm shift.

It's like the birth of a new internet, a leap in civilization level.


The future internet may no longer be just a surfing ground for humans but filled with billions of AI agents.

And we are standing at the starting point of this era.
