Show HN: Eve - Managed OpenClaw for work
Eve is an AI agent harness that runs in an isolated Linux sandbox
(2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, 10GB disk) with a real filesystem, headless
Chromium, code execution, and connectors to 1000+ services. You
give it a task and it works in the background until it's done. I
built this because I wanted OpenClaw without the self-hosting,
pointed at actual day-to-day work. I'm thinking less personal
assistant and more helpful colleague. Here's a short demo video:
https://www.loom.com/share/00d11bdbe804478e8817710f5f53ac61 The
main interface is a web app where you can watch work happen in real
time (agents spawning, files being written, use of the CLI).
There's also an iMessage integration so you can fire a task
asynchronously, put your phone down, and get a reply when it's
finished. Under the hood, there's an orchestrator (Claude Opus
4.6) that routes to the right domain-specific model for each
subtask: browsing, coding, research, and media generation. For
complex tasks it spins up parallel sub-agents that coordinate
through the shared filesystem. They have persistent memory across
sessions so context compounds over time. I've packaged it with a
bunch of pre-installed skills so it can execute in a variety of job
roles (sales, marketing, finance) at runtime. Here are a few
things Eve has helped me with in the last couple days: - Edit this
demo video with a voice over of Garry:

architecture and lmk your thoughts :) P.S. I've given every new
user $100 worth of credits to try it.

| Thanks! I wasn't aware of that

| gets fixed then this would be great for doing development on the

| tasks. I like how it allows for safe experimentation on OpenClaw

| about connecting to email services without knowing more about the
| developer and how they use data from connected services, but
| there's a lot of interesting things you can do with this even
| without connecting to anything. (The free credits are v helpful
| too, although the underlying Claude models burn through them
| quickly.) Thanks zachdive for sharing this, I had fun trying it
| out!
