Tencent QClaw Overseas Version Starts Beta Testing, Japan Offers $700 Token for Early Access

QClaw, the AI agent product of Tencent Computer Manager’s team, announced on April 20 that its overseas version has officially opened public beta for internal testing. The first batch covers the United States, Canada, Singapore, and South Korea, supporting multiple languages including Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Korean. During the internal testing period, 40 million Tokens are awarded every day. At the same time, the first batch of 20,000 spots for “Founding Claw” are opened on a first-come, first-served basis.

Core Features: One-Click Calling of a Local AI Agent via WhatsApp and Telegram

One of the most talked-about features of the overseas version of QClaw is support for directly calling a local AI agent through WhatsApp and Telegram. This allows overseas users who are used to instant messaging apps to avoid downloading a dedicated client. In addition, the overseas version specially opens up the QClaw Playground (Expert Plaza), preloading multiple expert roles such as fitness coaches, financial advisors, and language teachers. After users click “I want one,” they can receive a fully configured personal AI mentor within seconds.

Based on the day-to-day scenarios of overseas users, the official summarizes three typical ways to use it: QClaw it (task execution), QClaw Daily (daily assistant), and QClaw Up (skill enhancement).

Security and Privacy: Local Data Processing, The Gateway Blocks in Real Time

The overseas version of QClaw uses a local data processing architecture. All data is computed on the user’s device and is not uploaded to the cloud. At the same time, the “The Gateway” security module, transplanted from the domestic version, has been rolled out in sync. It intercepts prompts, skills, and execution scripts in real time, reducing the risk of malicious use of the AI agent.

Technical Background: OpenClaw’s Founder Shows Support; China Version Surpassed One Million Users in 10 Days

The Chinese version of QClaw entered public beta on March 2026. It surpassed one million users in just 10 days after launch, quickly gaining popularity domestically thanks to the advantages of “no deployment required, no need for a command line.” OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger said when reposting related tweets: “Thanks to the Tencent team for collaborating with us and for providing evaluation data to improve the harness performance of OpenClaw! For friends who aren’t too used to using the command line, QClaw is a great choice.”
