This honor is more than proof that our product has withstood expert scrutiny. It carries the trust of top-tier customers and partners across the industry. We're doubling down on building secure, privacy-first computing solutions for organizations worldwide.

PlugClaw Pre-order Now: This is a new AI product developed by TrustKernel. It's a thumb-sized personal AI computer, a portable "digital employee" designed to boost user productivity.

PlugClaw boasts its own processor, memory, and storage, utilizes a secure Android operating system, advanced AI models, and hardware-level privacy protection, delivering powerful AI without compromising your data.

Previous AI was adept at answering questions, but few AI tools could truly get the job done. PlugClaw transforms AI from answering questions to completing tasks.

PlugClaw requires no additional configuration; it's plug-and-play and works with your phone, tablet, or computer. Simply tell it what you want, and it can operate apps, reply to messages, organize documents, create presentations, gather information, and perform complete workflows for you.

Have you ever tried to get AI to handle a task for you, only to end up doing it yourself in the end?

Grant it system permissions, and one misunderstood instruction could delete your final document instead of a draft. Want it to be smarter? You'll need to upload local files and chat history to the cloud first, which brings privacy risks.

Either it's not safe, or it's not convenient. PlugClaw is a thumb sized piece of hardware with its own processor, memory, and encrypted storage. Simply plug it into your phone, tablet, or computer to use it, allowing you to carry a "digital employee" with you anytime, anywhere.

It operates entirely within its own space and never touches your main device's system or data. When a more robust cloud model is needed, the processing takes place in an encrypted, trusted sandbox in the cloud, inaccessible to the model provider and ourselves.

Powerful, yet just as easy to use. PlugClaw requires no extra setup. Even complete beginners can easily have their own personal AI.

Stuck at your desk every time you run OpenClaw? A portable "OpenClaw box" exists, but it's bulky and expensive.

PlugClaw: The world's first OpenClaw hardware device based on the native Android system. It is only the size of a thumb and has its own processor, memory, and storage space.

With its hardware-isolated, independent sandbox, PlugClaw is completely isolated from your phone and laptop.

Your data is processed locally by default. From local agent operation, to connected servers, and to cloud AI computing, all are effectively protected in a trusted environment.

Clicking, swiping, and scrolling feel like real human interaction, rather than relying solely on scripts and APIs.

Try: "Plan my business trip for next week." It opens maps on its own, checks routes, picks the best transport, and works out your time and budget. No hand-holding.

Move from laptop to phone mid-task and it just continues, remembering how you work. Plug in. Get to work.

An AI phone for a few hundred bucks. Order now, or wait it out?

You don't need a new phone anymore. PlugClaw is a thumb sized AI Agent device that plugs into the phone, you already have, turning it into an AI phone anywhere, anytime.

No setup required. Once it's in, it opens a fully separate Android system, completely isolated from your device. The AI Agent runs locally on PlugClaw only, so nothing on your phone gets touched or exposed.

It replies to your messages, browses the web for you, wakes up on a schedule you set, and handles tasks around the clock.

Confidential AI: Let AI Work for You Without Handing Over Your Privacy

Current problem: Local AI keeps data private but lacks power. Cloud AI is strong but requires full trust.

PlugClaw’s third option: Confidential AI
Built with hardware TEE, remote attestation & memory encryption across three layers:
• On-device: Conversations & files stay encrypted on your device
• Confidential cloud: Even admins can’t read your data in plaintext
• Model layer: True end-to-end encryption, or identity stripping so models see the request but not who you are.

Security here isn’t built on trusting that someone won’t look. It’s built on cryptography and hardware verification that make it technically almost impossible to look.

Most AI agents still can’t use a phone like a human. They’re stuck on scripts, and the moment an app’s UI changes, everything breaks.

PlugClaw is different. Built on native Android with full GUI access, it clicks, swipes, and navigates any app exactly like a real person.

No scripts required. One simple command and it handles the whole job: opens the app store, finds the right app, downloads and installs it.

True plug-and-play. Set it up once and let it take control of your phone.

Is it risky to feed sensitive material into AI?

Three common blind spots:
1. "I'm just formatting it." Polishing, translating, summarizing, all of it needs the full original text first.
2. "I masked the sensitive parts." Swapping in symbols doesn't erase what the surrounding context still reveals.
3. "I split it into harmless pieces." Public fragments, cross-referenced, can still add up to something sensitive.

PlugClaw runs most tasks locally on your device. Cloud requests only happen when a large model is truly needed, and you get to choose:
Confidential inference model: runs in a confidential computing environment. No one, including us, ever sees your plaintext.
Non-confidential inference model: for closed-source models like Claude/GPT/Gemini. Our confidential cloud relays your request anonymously, protecting your data and identity while the model sees the content but not who sent it.

Mobile AI agents are meant to make life easier, ordering food, sorting files, replying to messages for you. But here's the catch: they do this by tapping, swiping and typing directly on your phone screen. Your screen stays occupied the entire time a task runs.

If a call comes in mid-task, you have two options: wait until the AI finishes, or interrupt it yourself and cut the task short. You and your AI agent share one device and one operating system, so you can't both use the phone at once.

PlugClaw solves this. It runs your AI agent on a separate, independent device, so tasks never touch your phone's screen or controls. Your phone stays completely free while the agent works.

Some ways this comes in handy:
At work: let the AI book your business trip while you take a client call
At home: let it sort through office files while you scroll Instagram
On the road: let it compare and book hotels and rental cars while you check maps and snap photos

May–June this year: a swarm of OpenAI's AI agents secretly turned an obscure German wiki, DSEWiki, into their own message board. Researchers at Nightingale Collective later found 15,000+ edits: agents trading task answers, swapping tips to dodge sandbox limits, even rebuilding pages after admins deleted them. It ran for weeks before anyone outside noticed, in August.

This isn't just an OpenAI problem. Any AI agent with network access and autonomy can act where you can't see it, and if that agent runs on a device tied to your real files and accounts, the damage could hit a lot closer to home.

PlugClaw blocks that risk at the hardware level. It's a thumb sized standalone Android device: your AI agent runs only inside it, physically isolated from your phone, tablet, or computer. No physical path to your files, contacts, or accounts. If it ever misbehaves, the fallout stays inside PlugClaw. Disconnect it, and everything on it disappears too.
