Clawdi is a fully managed cloud platform for running AI agents like OpenClaw, Hermes, and Claude Code without any local configuration. Each user gets a sandboxed cloud VM with persistent memory, a browser, file editing, and terminal access — all running inside Phala's confidential compute infrastructure (TEE) for privacy and isolation. The platform decouples agent memory, API keys, skills, and app integrations from the underlying engine, so you can switch frameworks without losing your entire setup. It ships with OAuth integrations for Gmail and Slack, built-in cron job scheduling, browser automation, and long-term memory. Getting started takes roughly three minutes — no terminal, no YAML, no Docker. Built by Marvin Tong, Maggie Liu, and Xiaolu, Clawdi directly solves the agentic developer's most painful friction: rebuilding your setup from scratch every time you try a new agent framework. At $29/month flat, it targets individuals and small teams who want always-on cloud agents without managing infrastructure.

QA.tech is an AI QA agent that learns how your web app works — visually, the way a human tester would — then automatically runs end-to-end tests on every pull request before it merges. You describe test scenarios in plain English; the agent handles the rest, with no selectors, no test code, and no brittle CSS path maintenance. The system builds a knowledge graph of your application's structure and user flows during an initial learning phase, then uses that graph to plan and execute tests intelligently when new PRs come in. When the app changes, the agent adapts its understanding rather than throwing selector-not-found errors like traditional Selenium or Playwright suites. For small teams that can't afford a dedicated QA engineer, or larger teams drowning in flaky test maintenance, QA.tech offers a compelling pitch: describe what matters in plain language and let the agent decide how to verify it. The Product Hunt launch drew strong initial traction from indie developers and early-stage startups looking to add regression coverage without the overhead of a full testing framework.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is the 'it just works' solution I've been wanting for months. Spinning up a persistent OpenClaw instance in the cloud without touching config files is genuinely liberating — and the Phala TEE backing means my API keys aren't just floating in someone's S3 bucket.”
“The selector-free approach is genuinely appealing to anyone who's wasted hours fixing brittle Playwright tests after a designer changed a class name. If the knowledge graph adapts to UI changes reliably in practice, this could replace an entire category of test maintenance work that nobody enjoys.”
“At $29/month you're paying for a single managed agent VM, which is expensive compared to just renting a small VPS and running it yourself. The lock-in to their specific supported frameworks (OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code) will bite you the moment you want something they don't support yet.”
“AI-driven test agents have been promised before and they consistently struggle with complex stateful flows, modal dialogs, and multi-step auth. The 'adapts to UI changes' claim needs hard evidence — does it catch regressions or just re-learn the broken state? Pricing opacity is also a red flag for budget-sensitive teams.”
“Clawdi is a prototype of what 'personal AI infrastructure' looks like when it matures. Persistent memory + always-on agents + confidential compute is a legitimate architectural unlock — the TEE angle alone makes this interesting for privacy-sensitive enterprise use cases.”
“The end game here is tests written in intent, not implementation. The shift from 'click the button with id=submit' to 'verify the user can complete checkout' is philosophically important — it means tests survive redesigns and become living documentation of what the product is supposed to do.”
“For non-technical creators who want an agent that remembers context, stays online, and connects to Gmail and Slack without requiring a DevOps background, this hits a real gap. The three-minute setup promise is the key feature for this audience.”
“As someone who ships design changes and dreads 'breaking the tests,' the idea of tests that understand intent over structure is appealing. If QA.tech can handle responsive layouts and dynamic content reliably, it removes one of the biggest friction points between design iterations and shipping.”
