 "what": "IronClaw is a secure, always-on personal AI assistant that stores your data locally and encrypted. Untrusted tools run in WebAssembly sandboxes, secrets are injected at the host boundary with leak detection, and HTTP requests go only to allowlisted hosts. It runs as a background service with a WebUI, connects to Telegram and Slack, runs routines on schedules, and can build new tools for itself.",
 "why": "13k stars, talked about in 3 AI sources we track",
 "language": "Rust",
 "requirements": [
  "macOS, Linux or Windows (installer, MSI or WSL)",
  "An API key for an LLM provider, entered in a hidden prompt",
  "Rust 1.96+ and Node.js 22+ only for source builds"
 ],
 "audience_note": "Privacy-minded users who want a personal assistant with strong guardrails against prompt injection and data leaks.",
