Tool overview
Overview
NanoClaw is a lightweight, security-first AI assistant built on Claude and wrapped in OS-level container isolation. Instead of running a generic chatbot in the cloud, NanoClaw gives you a dedicated, sandboxed environment on your own machine or server. Each assistant session runs inside an isolated container with tightly controlled access to files, network, and system resources, so you can safely connect AI to sensitive workflows without exposing your entire environment. Designed for developers, security-conscious teams, and power users, NanoClaw combines Claude’s natural language capabilities with a pragmatic engineering toolkit. You can script tasks, automate dev operations, inspect logs, and wire the assistant into existing tools while keeping a clear security boundary. Fine-grained policies let you decide what each container can read, write, or execute. Because NanoClaw is lightweight, it’s easy to spin up multiple agents for different roles: one for code review, another for log triage, another for data exploration. The container-based architecture keeps them neatly separated and reduces operational risk. Whether you’re experimenting locally or deploying to production, NanoClaw helps you move faster with AI while staying in control of your infrastructure and data.
