NVIDIA has announced NemoClaw at its GTC 2026 event. It is a new software system that helps people run AI assistants, called claws, on their own devices. The company shared this update through its official newsroom.
NemoClaw is built to make things simple. Instead of setting up many tools and models separately, users can install everything in one step. It includes NVIDIA’s Nemotron AI models and a runtime called OpenShell, which creates a safe space for these AI agents to work.
The company has focused a lot on privacy and security. NemoClaw uses a protected environment so the AI works safely. It also has a privacy router, which decides when to use local AI models and when to connect to cloud-based models. This helps keep sensitive data on the user’s own device.
The system works on different NVIDIA hardware. It supports GeForce RTX laptops and PCs, professional RTX workstations, and high-end systems like DGX machines. This means both normal users and companies can use it based on their needs.
One important feature is that these AI assistants can work on their own. They do not always need instructions from users. They can handle tasks like building software, managing tools, and completing work in the background.
At the event, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said that OpenClaw could become like an operating system for AI, similar to how Windows or macOS work for computers today.
NemoClaw is being developed with Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw. The aim is to make AI agents more useful, safe, and easier to use, while also supporting open-source development.
People on X (Twitter) had different reactions to NVIDIA’s NemoClaw announcement. Some users were worried that it mainly uses NVIDIA’s own AI models, which could limit choice if someone wants to use other models. They feel the easy setup is good, but it may come at the cost of flexibility.
Others reacted in a fun way, joking about AI taking over the world, showing both excitement and a little fear about how powerful these tools could become.
At the same time, many people called it a big step for AI agents. They liked the focus on security and privacy, saying it is important as AI starts handling more important and sensitive tasks.
This announcement was part of NVIDIA’s larger plans shared at GTC 2026. The company also showed new projects related to robotics and physical AI. People attending the event were able to try NemoClaw themselves by building their own AI assistants.
With NemoClaw, NVIDIA is moving toward a future where AI can handle tasks more independently and work continuously without much human effort.
