Baidu has launched DuClaw, a zero-deployment service that enables instant access to the OpenClaw platform through Baidu AI Cloud, aiming to remove technical barriers that have slowed developer adoption of open-source AI agents.
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent platform that has attracted growing global developer interest. The system enables AI agents to retrieve information, coordinate workflows, and perform actions across applications.
Despite strong interest, deploying OpenClaw has often proved challenging for developers. Environment configuration complexity, model integration requirements, and system reliability concerns have remained common obstacles. DuClaw addresses these challenges by eliminating the deployment process entirely.
The service removes several technical steps typically required for deployment, including selecting system images, configuring servers, integrating model API keys, and setting up infrastructure. Developers can instead access OpenClaw agents instantly through a web interface.
DuClaw operates as a fully managed service hosted on Baidu AI Cloud’s high-performance infrastructure, providing a ready-to-use OpenClaw environment.
The platform also includes pre-built capabilities linked to Baidu services such as Baidu Search, Baidu Baike, and Baidu Scholar, enabling agents to access trusted information sources directly. It supports multiple mainstream foundation models, allowing users to select models that best match their needs.
Currently available via web interface, DuClaw is expected to integrate with enterprise collaboration platforms including WeCom, DingTalk, and Feishu.
Earlier in February, Baidu AI Cloud introduced a Rapid Deployment Solution for OpenClaw using a visual configuration interface. DuClaw advances that effort by removing deployment altogether.
The company is also offering a limited-time promotion in March, allowing first-time users to subscribe to the service for RMB 17.8 per month (approximately USD 2.50).
