Alibaba Launches CoPaw, an AI Agent Configuration System Similar to OpenClaw
Chinese tech giant Alibaba has released CoPaw, an open-source AI agent framework built on AgentScope. Now available on GitHub, this project enables developers to build and deploy sophisticated AI assistants that can run locally or in the cloud, integrating with both messengers and third-party AI models.
Key Features and Capabilities
- Cross-Platform Integration: Deploy assistants on popular messaging apps like DingTalk, Lark, QQ, Discord, and iMessage, inspired by the versatile OpenClaw framework (formerly ClawBot).
- Advanced Skills: The framework includes built-in support for memory, browser control, and document management, allowing for more complex and useful tasks.
- Flexible Model Support: Connect to local models using llama.cpp or major commercial models via API keys. It offers native support for Alibaba's Qwen series and is compatible with APIs from OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic.
