I run a generative AI infra company, unified API for 600+ models. Our team started deploying AI agents for our marketing and lead gen ops: content, engagement, analytics across multiple X accounts.
OpenClaw worked fine for single agents. But at ~14 agents across 6 accounts, the problem shifted from "how do I build agents" to "how do I manage them."
Deployment, monitoring, team isolation, figuring out which agent broke what at 3am. Classic orchestration problem.
So I built klaw, modeled on Kubernetes: Clusters — isolated environments per org/project Namespaces — team-level isolation (marketing, sales, support) Channels — connect agents to Slack, X, Discord Skills — reusable agent capabilities via a marketplace
CLI works like kubectl: klaw create cluster mycompany klaw create namespace marketing klaw deploy agent.yaml
I also rewrote from Node.js to Go — agents went from 800MB+ to under 10MB each.
Quick usage example: I run a "content cluster" where each X account is its own namespace. Agent misbehaving on one account can't affect others. Adding a new account is klaw create namespace [account] + deploy the same config. 30 seconds.
The key differentiator vs frameworks like CrewAI or LangGraph: those define how agents collaborate on tasks. klaw operates one layer above — managing fleets of agents across teams with isolation and operational tooling. You could run CrewAI agents inside klaw namespaces.
Happy to answer questions.

Giving an LLM a computer makes it way more powerful, giving it a kubernetes cluster should extend that power much further and naturally fits well with the way LLMs work.
I think this abstraction can scale for a good long while. Past this what do you give the agent? Control of a whole Data Center I guess.
I'm not sure if it will replace openclaw all together since kubernetes is kind of niche and scary to a lot of people. But I bet for the most sophisticated builders this will become quite popular, and who knows maybe far beyond that cohort too.
Congrats on the launch!

On "what comes after", I think it's agents managing other agents. An AI SRE that watches load and spins up new agents automatically. The cluster/namespace model was designed with that direction in mind.
And yeah, not trying to replace OpenClaw, different layer.
OpenClaw defines what an agent does, klaw manages where and how many run. Complementary.
