DuClaw Setup Guide

Baidu's zero-deployment OpenClaw service β€” no server, no API key. This guide covers DuClaw web access and how it fits with RedFinger Operator.

DuClaw Guide Updated March 2026

// What DuClaw is

DuClaw is Baidu Intelligent Cloud's hosted OpenClaw service, launched March 11 2026. It removes all technical setup β€” Baidu handles the infrastructure, model hosting, and API configuration. You subscribe and start using OpenClaw immediately through a web interface. First month: Β₯17.8.

DuClaw vs RedFinger Operator

🌐

DuClaw (web)

Browser-based. Best for PC/web tasks: research, content generation, data collection, document processing. Launched March 11.

πŸ“±

RedFinger Operator (app)

Android native. Best for mobile app automation: food delivery, ride-hailing, social media. Launched March 12.

Both are Baidu products. They are complementary β€” DuClaw handles the web layer, Operator handles the mobile app layer.
