What is the story about?
Nvidia is preparing to release an open-source platform designed to support AI agents inside enterprise software, according to people familiar with the company’s plans.
The project, referred to internally as NemoClaw, is expected to allow companies to deploy automated agents that carry out workplace tasks across digital systems.
The platform is still being discussed privately with software companies, as reported by Wired. Several firms have already been approached ahead of Nvidia’s annual developer conference scheduled for next week in San Jose.
The effort signals Nvidia’s growing focus on software ecosystems, not just hardware.
Enterprise partnerships around Nvidia AI agent tools
Sources told Wired that Nvidia has presented the platform to companies, including Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe and CrowdStrike. These discussions are still exploratory, and it remains unclear whether formal partnerships will be announced.
One notable point is that the system is intended to work even when enterprise products are not running on Nvidia chips.
Because the project is expected to be open source, early collaborators could gain access before launch while contributing to development. Nvidia also plans to include built-in tools aimed at improving security and data privacy when agents operate inside corporate environments.
Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment. Representatives for Cisco, Google, Adobe and CrowdStrike also did not provide statements before publication. Salesforce declined to comment.
Rise of AI ‘Claws’ and Autonomous Software Agents
The planned platform reflects a growing interest in so-called AI ‘claws’ - autonomous tools designed to complete tasks directly on a user’s computer.
Unlike standard chatbots, these agents can perform multiple steps in sequence - meaning less supervision required.
An early example drew attention in Silicon Valley earlier this year. An open-source agent project known as OpenClaw gained traction for its ability to run independently on personal machines and carry out work tasks. The project was later acquired by OpenAI, which also hired its creator.
While systems from OpenAI and Anthropic have improved reliability, many still depend on direct prompts and guidance. Purpose-built agents aim to reduce that dependency.
Security concerns around enterprise AI agents
Adoption of such tools inside companies remains controversial. Some technology firms have warned employees against running autonomous agents on work devices due to unpredictable behaviour.
Meta advised staff to avoid OpenClaw on company machines. One internal incident involved an agent mistakenly deleting large batches of emails.
Nvidia’s broader AI infrastructure and software strategy
For Nvidia, NemoClaw may serve another purpose. The platform could help the company attract enterprise developers while expanding its role in AI infrastructure.
The strategy arrives at a moment when major AI labs are designing custom chips. Nvidia’s response appears to include deeper software tools alongside its hardware leadership, as reported by WSJ.

Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very
smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our…

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb. pic.twitter.com/XAxyRwPJ5R
