It allows startups (and YC) to work with a fleet of OpenClaw-like agents. Every employee and project gets one, as needed.

QM

It's designed to be easy to administer and especially helpful for work-related tasks.

YC has experimented with several harnesses, and this is the result of those learnings. The first was a basic agent loop in Ruby, with some tools that could access internal data. It was easy for people to get value from on day one, but it was limited in the scope of what it could do. We eventually extended it to support things like crons, and webhook triggers, but the launch of OpenClaw pushed us in a new direction.

Next we provisioned over 50 Hermes agents for individual employees to work as personal assistants. Managing a fleet of even this size became challenging. We wanted something that was as flexible as Hermes, but with the simplicity of our original system.

We also wanted something that we could own and host ourselves. The open source ecosystem is incredibly important, and we want to see it continue to develop.

它让初创企业（以及 YC）能够使用由多个类似 OpenClaw 的智能体（agent）组成的系统。每位员工和每个项目都可以按需分配到一个智能体。

它的设计初衷是易于管理，并能特别有效地协助处理各类工作任务。

YC 曾尝试过多种智能体架构，而这款工具正是汲取了过往经验后的成果。最初的版本是一个基于 Ruby 的基础智能体循环，配备了一些访问内部数据的工具。虽然它从一开始就能为用户带来价值，但功能范围相对有限。尽管我们后来增加了对定时任务（cron）和 Webhook 触发器等功能的支持，但 OpenClaw 的推出引领我们走向了新的方向。

随后，我们部署了 50 多个 Hermes 智能体，作为员工的个人助理。然而，即便是管理这样规模的智能体集群也变得颇具挑战性。我们希望拥有一种既具备 Hermes 的灵活性，又拥有最初系统那种简洁性的工具。

此外，我们还希望能够自主掌控并托管该系统。开源生态系统至关重要，我们期待看到它持续发展。
