Core Capabilities

Built for agent work, not just chat

HexClaw goes beyond a chat box with a full desktop runtime for AI agents, tools, and workflows.

Local deployment, private data

The sidecar architecture runs on your machine, and API keys go straight to model providers with no relay layer.

In-house agent engine

ReAct and Plan-and-Execute reasoning, declarative definitions, and automatic tool orchestration.

MCP-native tooling

Built-in Model Context Protocol support for files, databases, APIs, and custom tools.

Unified model layer

OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Ollama, and more under one runtime with hot switching.

End-to-end observability

Trace executions, replay reasoning, inspect tool calls, and monitor token usage in one place.

Native on all major desktops

Tauri v2 plus Rust delivers a lightweight native client for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Quick Start

Get started in three steps

From download to useful work in just a few minutes.
1

Install the app

One-click packages for all three platforms, with the Go sidecar bundled in.
2

Add your API key

Keys stay local and connect directly to the provider you choose.
3

Describe the task

Use natural language and let the agent plan, call tools, and return results.
Use Cases

Real workflows, not demos

From office tasks to engineering automation, HexClaw covers the work people actually do.
Agent Orchestration
