AutoGLM AutoClaw: AI Assistant That Works Inside IM

AI assistants have entered our lives, but most are still stuck at the “generating text” level. AutoClaw is changing this paradigm. An AI assistant that works inside chat, uses real tools, and completes complex tasks on its own.

What is AutoClaw?

AutoClaw is an AI assistant developed by Zhipu AI. Its difference from traditional assistants: it works directly inside IM (instant messaging) applications.

It’s offered as a desktop application for Windows and Mac. The full version hasn’t been released yet (Coming soon), but it’s in beta.

Key Features

1. Works Inside Chat

• No extra dashboard
• Just write what you want, it handles it
• Results appear in the same chat

2. Works with Real Tools

• Browser automation
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration
• API calls
• File operations

3. Autonomous Task Execution

• Breaks down the task into parts
• Executes steps sequentially
• Returns results with context

AutoGLM vs Other AI Tools

AutoGLM Technology

Open-AutoGLM

Zhipu AI also shared the open-source version of AutoGLM: Open-AutoGLM

This project:

• Has 24,624 stars
• Licensed under Apache 2.0
• Written in Python
• Optimized for phone control

Technical Architecture

AutoGLM develops autonomous agents that can control devices through a GUI:

User → Chat message → AutoGLM analysis → Tool selection → Task execution → Return result

Use Cases

1. Research Automation

"Research competitor product launches in the last 6 months"

AutoClaw researches the web, collects data, and returns a summary.

2. Form Filling

"Fill out the form in this PDF and send it via email"

Document analysis, form filling, and email sending in a single chat.

3. Data Collection

"Find and compare industry reports for me"

Web scraping, data analysis, and reporting.

MCP Integration

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard protocol for AI assistants to connect with external tools. Thanks to AutoClaw’s MCP support:

• Web search with Exa
• File system access
• API integrations
• Custom tools

AutoGLM 2.0

Released in August 2025, AutoGLM 2.0:

• World’s first mobile agent
• Multi-modal capabilities — reasoning abilities
• Code writing and execution

Who Should Use It?

Suitable for:

• Researchers and analysts
• Customer support teams
• Sales professionals
• Those with daily repetitive tasks

Not suitable yet for:

• Those waiting for the full version (still beta)
• Linux users (Windows/Mac only)
• Those wanting a mobile version

Conclusion

AutoClaw transforms AI assistants from merely “talking” tools into “working” assistants. Working inside IM dramatically lowers the learning curve.

The open-source Open-AutoGLM project is also interesting — ideal for those who want to deploy on their own infrastructure.

For businesses in Bodrum, it can provide great convenience for tour operators and reservation management teams in research and tracking tasks.
