DuClaw is Baidu's mobile-first AI assistant, built on the OpenClaw framework. Its defining feature is the RedFinger Operator β€” the AI can directly tap, type, swipe, and interact with any app on your phone, without you touching the screen. Best for users who primarily live on their smartphone. For desktop + WeChat control, consider QClaw. For cloud-hosted multi-device sync, consider ArkClaw.

The RedFinger Operator What makes DuClaw unique

Most AI assistants can only generate text responses. DuClaw's Operator goes further: it uses Android/iOS accessibility APIs to physically interact with your phone's screen β€” exactly as if a finger were tapping it.

This means you can say "order my usual lunch on Meituan" and DuClaw will open the app, find your saved address, pick your regular restaurant, add items to the cart, and confirm the order β€” you just approve payment.

  • Works with virtually any app β€” social media, e-commerce, maps, messaging
  • Limited only by apps that explicitly block accessibility services (e.g. payment PIN screens)
  • Requires granting Accessibility Service permission during setup
