WinClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that now integrates Google's official Chrome DevTools MCP server, enabling powerful browser automation capabilities:
Features: - Page navigation and control (open URLs, back/forward, tab management) - Element interaction (click, type, drag & drop) - Page analysis (snapshots, screenshots, console/network monitoring) - Performance analysis (Core Web Vitals, performance insights) - JavaScript execution, file uploads, dialog handling - Viewport emulation for different devices
Runs completely locally with privacy-first design. Control browsers using natural language without writing code.

Hi HN,
I've been working on WinClaw, a personal AI assistant and multi-channel AI gateway that you run on your own devices. It lets you interact with AI models (Claude, GPT, etc.) through the messaging apps you already use.
Latest highlights: - Native Windows EXE installer (bundled Node.js, no prerequisites) - 19 messaging channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, etc.) - Desktop automation via MCP Bridge + Chrome DevTools - Chat-based configuration (no config file editing needed) - Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux - Windows-only skills: Office automation, Outlook, PowerShell, file system
Architecture: - Gateway (Node.js) manages channels, sessions, skills - Agent handles AI model interaction and tool execution - Skills provide domain-specific capabilities - Plugins extend functionality (MCP Bridge for external tools) - Local-first, OAuth-first, no telemetry

Would love to hear your feedback!
Ask HN: What makes an AI agent framework production-ready vs. a toy?
I've been evaluating AI agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, OpenClaw, etc.) and I'm trying to figure out what separates the ones that actually work in production from the ones that are fun demos.My current checklist for "production-ready":1. Persistent memory across sessions (not just in-context window stuffing) 2. Real tool use with error recovery (file I/O, shell, browser, APIs) 3....
