LobsterAI

LobsterAI (v2026.3.16+) is developed based on OpenClaw and includes the program built-in. To avoid potential conflicts with existing versions of OpenClaw or ClawX, it is best to run LobsterAI on a clean system without these applications installed.

At the same time, it is highly recommended to attach great importance to data security: prioritize installing and using the tool in a virtual machine, or deploy it on an independent computer without any important files. This avoids the leakage or misoperation of important data caused by the tool's operations involving local files and system command calls. In addition, confirm all permission requests for tool invocation before use, and do not arbitrarily approve unknown file access and network request instructions.

I. Project Developer and Underlying Technology

LobsterAI is an all-in-one personal intelligent assistant Agent developed by NetEase Youdao. Its underlying technology stack is built around Electron for a cross-platform framework, with core AI capabilities powered by Anthropic’s Claude Agent SDK. Local data is stored in an SQLite database. It also integrates multi-platform IM protocols such as dingtalk-stream and grammY, as well as tools like Remotion and Playwright to implement various productivity functions. The whole system adopts Electron's strict process isolation mechanism and completes inter-process communication through IPC to ensure operational security.

II. Core Product Features

1. All-round Function Coverage: It solves all kinds of daily work and study needs in one stop without switching between multiple tools.
2. Dual-environment Execution: It supports direct local operation (fast speed) and isolated operation in an Alpine Linux sandbox (high security), which can be switched automatically or manually.
3. Localization Assurance: All data such as chat history and configurations are stored in the local SQLite database.
4. Intelligent Memory: It can automatically extract user preferences and personal information, and also supports manual memory, becoming more tailored to individual needs with increased usage.
5. Cross-platform Compatibility: It supports macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux desktop systems, and also enables mobile remote control through IM software.
6. Controllable Permissions: All tool invocations involving file access, terminal commands and network requests can only be executed with the user's explicit approval.
7. Customizable: Custom skills can be developed through the built-in skill creator and loaded hot for effect, featuring strong expandability.

III. Core Practical Functions

For ordinary users, LobsterAI’s functions cover four core scenarios: daily office work, content creation, automated operation and information management. The specific practical capabilities include:

1. Office Document Processing: One-click generation of Word, Excel and PPT files, supporting PDF parsing and format conversion.
2. Content Creation and Production: Video generation, poster/front-end UI design, and rapid development of web game prototypes.
3. Data and Information Processing: Data analysis, web search, weather query, and automatic information sorting and report generation.
4. Automated Operation: Web automation testing/operation, local file management, and scheduled task execution.
5. Communication and Scheduling: Sending/receiving emails, creating scheduled tasks through natural language or a visual interface, supporting daily news digests, inbox cleanup and more.
6. Remote Control: Bind robots on IM software such as DingTalk, Feishu, Telegram and Discord; send instructions via mobile phone to let LobsterAI on the desktop execute tasks, and the results can be pushed to the mobile phone.

IV. Target User Groups and Application Scenarios

Core User Groups

Workplace office workers (operations, product management, administration, data analysis, etc.), freelancers, students, and individual users with daily automation operation needs. It is suitable for people who need to efficiently handle various affairs and hope to reduce repetitive work.

Typical Application Scenarios

1. Workplace Office: Quickly create PPTs for business reports, generate weekly/monthly data analysis reports, regularly sort out and summarize industry news, and automatically classify and clean up work emails.
2. Study and Research: Search academic/industry materials and organize them into documents, make study plans, and generate data visualization charts.
3. Daily Efficiency Improvement: Timely reminders of work matters, mobile remote control of computers to generate files, and automated completion of repetitive operations such as web check-in and information collection.
4. Content Creation: Quickly make promotional short videos, design posters, and write copy/reports without mastering professional design/editing software.
