Quickstart

Install NemoClaw and run your first sandboxed OpenClaw agent in minutes.

How It Works

Understand the plugin, blueprint, and sandbox lifecycle.

Architecture

Plugin structure, blueprint lifecycle, and sandbox environment.

What is NemoClaw?

NemoClaw is the OpenClaw plugin for NVIDIA OpenShell. It moves OpenClaw into a sandboxed environment where every network request, file access, and inference call is governed by declarative policy.
NemoClaw is alpha software. Interfaces, APIs, and behavior may change without notice. It is shared to gather feedback and enable early experimentation — it is not yet production-ready.

Key capabilities

Sandboxed execution

Every agent runs inside an OpenShell sandbox with Landlock, seccomp, and network namespace isolation. No access is granted by default.

NVIDIA cloud inference

Agent traffic routes through cloud-hosted Nemotron 3 Super 120B via build.nvidia.com, transparent to the agent.

Declarative network policy

Egress rules are defined in YAML. Unknown hosts are blocked and surfaced to the operator for approval.

Blueprint lifecycle

Versioned blueprints handle sandbox creation, digest verification, and reproducible setup.

Single CLI

The nemoclaw command orchestrates the full stack: gateway, sandbox, inference provider, and network policy.

Remote GPU deployment

Deploy a sandboxed agent to a remote GPU instance via Brev for persistent operation.

Get started

curl -fsSL https://nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash
The installer sets up Node.js if needed, then runs the guided onboard wizard to create a sandbox, configure inference, and apply security policies. After setup, connect to your sandbox:
