About nanoclaw
qwibitai/nanoclaw
A lightweight alternative to OpenClaw that runs in containers for security. Connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Gmail and other messaging apps,, has memory, scheduled jobs, and runs directly on Anthropic's Agents SDK
Implements per-group filesystem isolation and credential injection through OneCLI's Agent Vault, preventing agents from accessing raw API keys or other groups' data. Built as a single Node.js process with self-registering channel adapters that route messages through a per-group queue into containerized Claude agents via stdio transport. Designed for direct code modification over configuration—users fork the repo and ask Claude Code to customize behavior rather than manage sprawling config files.
About moltworker
cloudflare/moltworker
Run OpenClaw, (formerly Moltbot, formerly Clawdbot) on Cloudflare Workers
Deploys OpenClaw's multi-channel AI assistant gateway to Cloudflare Sandbox containers with support for Telegram, Discord, and Slack integration, powered by Claude via Anthropic API or AI Gateway. The architecture uses Cloudflare Access for authentication, optional R2 storage for persistent conversation history across container restarts, and configurable idle sleep to minimize compute costs. Requires the Workers Paid plan ($5/month) plus ~$30/month in container resource costs, with pricing optimizable through sleep timers for intermittent usage patterns.
