Nvidia’s developer conference has agent fever. On Tuesday, one of the most popular spots at the company’s GTC convention was Nvidia’s “Build-A-Claw” tent, where attendees could try out Nvidia’s newly unveiled NemoClaw, open-source software for creating AI agents based on the popular OpenClaw.
Many of the people who stopped by the Build-A-Claw tent wanted to take an agent for a test drive to see how it works before setting up their own agent, said Luke Wignall, a director of technical product marketing for Nvidia, who helped organize the tent. For example, one college student tested out an agent by asking for help finding jobs and preparing her resume, he said.
NemoClaw adds privacy and security controls to OpenClaw, which have plainly been lacking. These controls allow users to restrict the files an agent can access and the actions it can take. That should be a lure for corporate users leery of security mishaps.
