Tuya launches TuyaClaw
Tuya Smart debuted TuyaClaw on March 28 — an AI agent built on OpenClaw architecture designed to bridge digital intelligence with physical devices in the home (x.com). The move signals vendors are pushing agent-level control that can orchestrate multiple devices rather than relying on isolated automations (x.com).
Tuya issued its corporate announcement and a PR Newswire release on March 24, 2026, formalizing TuyaClaw’s commercial rollout. (prnewswire.com) (prnewswire.com) The company says TuyaClaw will be sold on a subscription basis that lets users switch among seven leading large models — explicitly naming ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini — plus dozens of model variants under one plan. (tuya.com) (tuya.com) Tuya lists more than 3,200 ready-to-use “Skills” spanning smart home automation, office workflows and data-research tasks that it says are available out of the box. (tuya.com) (tuya.com) Two deployment modes are offered: a local version that Tuya says processes all operations and data on the user’s device, and a cloud version that Tuya markets for continuous 24/7 operation without taxing local resources. (tuya.com) (tuya.com) Tuya’s announcement highlights one-click, “minute-level” installation aimed at cutting traditional OpenClaw-style setup from hours to minutes to reduce deployment friction. (tuya.com) (tuya.com) The company cites platform scale as a distribution advantage — more than 3,000 product categories, “hundreds of millions” of connected devices, 1.8 million developers, 120,000+ distribution channels and availability in 200+ countries and regions. (tuya.com) (tuya.com) Tuya’s product page for TuyaClaw frames the tool as a one-sentence automation interface capable of controlling smart-home devices, operating desktop applications and scraping web data.
