NanoClaw handles the quick jobs.

Lightweight agent for fast handoffs.

NanoClaw is OpenClaw’s small, fast sibling. Built for short jobs, embedded triggers, and prototypes — anywhere the overhead of a full agent runtime would slow you down. On MindsHub you get the same managed runtime, sized for the work.

What it is

What is NanoClaw?

NanoClaw is an open-source AI agent built for one thing: doing a short, well-scoped job and getting out of the way. Use it when the task is a single input → single output, or when you need an agent to fire on a webhook, an event, or a schedule.

On MindsHub, NanoClaw runs on the same always-on cloud runtime and Model Router as every other open agent — but with a lighter footprint and economics that suit short jobs.

Especially good for

The work NanoClaw is shaped to do.

  1. 01

    Fast prototypes

    Test an agent-shaped idea in minutes. If it earns its keep, graduate to OpenClaw without rewriting the integrations.

  2. 02

    Embedded triggers

    Fire on webhooks, events, or schedule. NanoClaw runs the task, returns the result, and shuts down.

  3. 03

    Single-purpose agents

    One input, one output. Classify a ticket. Summarize a transcript. Extract a field. Reply to a specific kind of email.

  4. 04

    Background micro-jobs

    Hourly digests, scheduled cleanups, batch tagging. Anywhere a small agent is the right size.

  5. 05

    Glue between systems

    Replace a brittle Lambda or Zap with an agent that can read context. NanoClaw is the right shape for the in-between.

Why on MindsHub

What you get when NanoClaw runs here.

Seconds to start

No provisioning. Pick the agent, connect the trigger, hand off the task. The first run happens before you finish reading the docs.

Same Model Router as OpenClaw

NanoClaw calls models through the same Model Router — one endpoint across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and open models, with no per-provider keys to set up.

Triggers handled 24/7

Fire on a webhook, an event, or a schedule. MindsHub listens around the clock, so your triggers don't depend on your machine being awake.

Right-sized billing

Same hosted tier as the bigger agents, but token consumption tracks the small footprint — short jobs cost less to run.

Easy graduation path

When NanoClaw outgrows the job, swap it for OpenClaw. The trigger and tools stay the same; only the agent profile changes.

How it works

From signup to first run.

  1. 01

    Pick

    Choose NanoClaw as the agent for this task. Same platform, smaller profile.

  2. 02

    Wire

    Attach the trigger (webhook, schedule, event), connect the one or two tools the task needs, and point it at the model you want.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Send a request. NanoClaw runs the task and returns the result. Graduate the work to OpenClaw when it outgrows the shape.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Is NanoClaw open source?
Yes. NanoClaw is open-source, like the other agents on the platform. Run it locally or hosted; same code either way.
When should I pick NanoClaw over OpenClaw?
If the task fits in a single, focused run — a classifier, an extractor, a webhook handler, a scheduled digest — start with NanoClaw. If the task spans many steps, tools, and intermediate decisions, start with OpenClaw.
Is NanoClaw cheaper than OpenClaw on MindsHub?
Hosting is the same $9.95/month tier. Operational cost is naturally lower because the runs are shorter — fewer tokens, less time. See /pricing for the full breakdown.
