ZeroClaw is a Rust-native autonomous AI agent framework engineered for teams and developers who need highly efficient, secure, and modular AI automation infrastructure that can run reliably in both production and self-hosted environments. It is designed around a trait-based architecture so that model providers, communication channels, memory systems, and tooling integrations can be swapped or extended without rewriting core components, giving engineers flexibility and long-term maintainability. The framework features a compact single binary with fast cold and warm startup times and very low memory overhead, making it suitable even for resource-constrained hardware like small servers or edge devices. Security is a first-class concern, with sandbox controls, encrypted secrets, allowlisted operations, and scoped filesystem access by default, helping reduce risk when running autonomous agents.
