Mar 20th 2026
QClaw, built on OpenClaw, is now available inside WeChat as a mini-program with PC file transfer and beta features, and will gain audio, image and scheduling functions in upcoming updates.
- QClaw is an OpenClaw-based AI agent Tencent launched last week for personal computers with remote control from WeChat.
- An upgrade on Wednesday added QClaw as a WeChat mini-program and enabled file transfer to personal computers.
- Tencent said future updates will let users send commands via audio and images and add automated timed tasks.
- The new mini-program is in beta and will be rolled out to more users than the initial text-only version.
- Tencent is pushing QClaw inside WeChat to tap into its more than 1.4 billion monthly active users as Chinese tech firms compete amid the country's "lobster fever" for AI tools.
