New Google AI agent destroys OpenClaw. OpenClaw isn't safe anymore. Google has been quietly building an AI agent called Remy. It lives inside the Gemini app.
It does your emails. It checks your calendar. It books things for you. And here's the kicker.
Google staff are testing it right now, and a public rollout could come at the I.O. event this month. Meta is building one too. They call it Hatch.
Their goal is to start internal testing by the end of June. Both companies are copying the same thing. OpenClaw, the open source AI agent that hit over 100,000 GitHub stars in just a few weeks, big tech just woke up. And the race for your personal AI is fully on.
So in this video, I'm going to break down exactly what Remy is, why Google is building it, what Meta's Hatch is doing, and most importantly, what this means for your business in the next 30 to 60 days. Because if you're running a business right now, you need to pay attention to this. Let me start with what we know. Business Insider broke the Remy story.
According to their report, Google has an internal document that calls Remy a 24-7 personal agent. It runs in a staff-only version of the Gemini app. Two people who know the project told Business Insider that employees are already testing it. A Google spokesperson refused to comment.
This is real. It's being built. And the timing matters. Google I.O.
is coming up, and the whole theme is something they're calling agentic AI. The keynote is expected to focus on Gemini 4.0, which is built on something called the A2A protocol. That's agent to agent. It means agents talking to other agents, doing tasks for you in the background, while you sleep.
Now, let me back up. Because some of you are watching this and thinking, what even is an AI agent? Is this just another chatbot? Here's a simple way to think about it.
A chatbot answers your questions. An agent does the task. You don't ask it, how do I book a flight to Tokyo? You say, book me a flight to Tokyo under this price, find a hotel near Shibuya with a gym, put it on my card.
And it does it. All of it. Without you. That's the shift.
We're moving from AI that talks to AI that acts. And this is why OpenClaw blew up so fast. It was built by an Austrian developer named Peter Steinberger. He launched it in November 2025.
Within weeks, it had over 100,000 GitHub stars. By March 2026, it had over 247,000 stars. By now, it's passed 310,000 stars and 58,000 forks. That makes it one of the fastest growing open source projects in history.
Faster than Kubernetes. Way faster. And the whole reason it took off is simple. People could finally use AI the way they use their phone.
WhatsApp, through Telegram, through Discord. You text your AI like you text a friend. And it does stuff for you. It clears your inbox.
It books meetings. It remembers what you like. It even calls you back if you ignore it. A16z, the big venture firm called OpenClaw, the moment consumers discovered AI could act.
That's a big deal. Because once consumers see something work, they want it everywhere. They want it on their phone. They want it in their email.
They want it in their messages. And that's exactly what Google and Meta saw. They saw a small open source project running circles around their massive AI assistants, and they panicked. Because if a single Austrian developer can build a better version of Siri than Apple did in 10 years, what does that say about the next 12 months?
So Google is moving fast. The Remy agent is built to do the same thing OpenClaw does, but inside Google's stuff. Inside Gemini. Inside Gmail.
Inside Calendar. Inside Drive. The internal documents said Remy is powered by Gemini and built to take actions on your behalf, not just answer questions or generate content. That's the key line.
Not just answer questions. Google is admitting that chatbots aren't enough anymore. People want their AI to do the work. And Google has something most companies don't have.
A billion users already using Gmail and Calendar every day. If they ship Remy to Gemini next week, that's instant scale. No download. No setup.
It just shows up. If you're watching this and you're a business owner, this stuff is moving way faster than most people think. Inside the AI profit boardroom, we run four live coaching calls every week where we walk you through exactly how to set up agents like OpenClaw step-by-step. We show you how to plug it into your WhatsApp, how to get it answering your customer messages, how to handle your calendar, how to follow up with leads, all on autopilot.
We've got 2,800 business owners in there right now. A lot of them already running OpenClaw for their client work and lead gen. There's a 30-day roadmap built specifically around personal AI agents, daily tutorials, a prompt library, and a member map so you can connect with people in your area.

Now, let's keep going. Now, Meta. Meta is doing the same thing but with a different angle. Their project is called Hatch.
The information reported it on May 5th. Hatch is openly described as inspired by OpenClaw. That's the actual word they used. Inspired.
Meta is training Hatch on Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Sonnet 4.6, so they're using Anthropic's brain right now. But the plan is to switch it over to Meta's own model called Muse Spark when they launch. Their target for internal testing is the end of June, late June 2026. That's about eight weeks away.
And here's the part most people missed. Meta has built fake versions of real websites like DoorDash, Etsy, and Reddit so Hatch can practice doing real tasks in a safe space before it goes live. Think about that. They're training an AI agent to use the actual internet the same way you would by giving it a copy of the real internet to play in .dollar.
Meta's also building a second thing, an agentic shopping tool. This one lives inside Instagram. The idea is simple. You tell the agent, find me running shoes under $100 in size nine with good reviews, and it shows you options right inside Instagram.
You buy without leaving the app. Mark Zuckerberg said back in January that Meta wants their AI to give a uniquely personal experience based on users' history, interests, and relationships. Translation, they want their AI to know you better than your friends do and then sell to you based on that. By January 2026, 41% of consumers had used AI platforms for product discovery.
33% said they fully replaced their old way of searching for stuff. Among Gen Z, 61% used AI to help with a purchase in the last year. Read that as your future customers are not Googling anymore. They're asking an agent and the agent picks for them.
So back to Google's Remy. Why is this the open-claw killer? Three reasons. First, distribution.
Google already has your email, your calendar, your photos, your docs, your phone for a lot of you on Android. They don't need to convince you to install anything. They just turn it on. Second, memory.
The Gemini Enterprise platform, which Google launched at Google Cloud Next on April 22nd, has something called Memory Bank. It's a long-term memory feature. It remembers what you did weeks ago, not just minutes. Real companies are using this right now.
This isn't theory. It's already cutting work in half for real teams. Third, action across services. Google's agent platform isn't just one agent.
It's a whole system where agents can talk to each other, hand off tasks, and run long jobs in the background. Their CEO at Comcast described how they rebuilt the Xfinity Assistant with this stuff and it handles troubleshooting on its own. That's what Remy is going to feel like when it ships to your phone. But, and this is important, OpenClaw isn't dead.
Not yet. Here's why it's still a serious player. It runs on your machine, not on Google's servers. So your data stays with you.
That matters a ton if you handle client data, legal stuff, health info, or anything sensitive. OpenClaw also works with way more channels than Google or Meta will probably ever support. WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, WeChat, over 30 platforms in total. Google's Remy is going to live in Google's apps.
Meta's Hatch is going to live in Meta's apps. OpenClaw lives wherever you already chat, and it's free. You install it, point it at any AI model, Clawed, GPT, DeepSeek, even local models, and you're running. There's no subscription gate, no premium tier, no waiting list.
The people who win are the ones who teach their agent who they are, what their business does, who their customers are, and what their style sounds like. The better your agent knows you, the better it works for you. Fourth, pay attention to what's coming at Google I.O. this month.
If Remy gets announced publicly, expect a big shift in how regular people use AI. Your customers will start expecting AI-level service from your business. Fast replies, personalized stuff, agent-to-agent booking. The bar is going up, and it's going up everywhere at once.
Here's the thing most people miss. We're not in the chatbot era anymore. We're in the agent era. Google knows this.
Meta knows this. Anthropic knows this. The Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform replaced what used to be called Vertex AI. They literally renamed their entire AI product around agents.
Google said the platform combines model selection, building, integration, governance, and security. It's a full system for running thousands of agents at once. They put a $750 million fund behind it to pay partners to build agents. That's not a side project.
That's their main bet. And the people who set up agents now while it's still early are going to look like geniuses in 12 months because the gap between businesses with agents and businesses without agents is about to get massive. Not 10% better. Not 20%.
Multiple times better. Faster reply times. More leads handled. More customers served.
While you sleep. While you're at dinner. While you're on holiday. The agent doesn't stop.
So that brings us back to Remy, the Google product that might ship in the next few weeks. If it shows up at I-O, which is May 19th and 20th, you'll see it inside the Gemini app. The leaks suggest it'll have an auto-run mode where you can give it a goal in plain English and it just does it. Find me a flight.
Book the hotel. Add it to my calendar. Pay with my saved card. All in one prompt.
That's the demo Google wants to give. And once normal people see that, the floodgates open. Meta's hatch comes next. Late June.
Four internal tests. Then probably a public version later in the summer or fall. With a billion users on Instagram and WhatsApp ready to go. They don't need adoption.
They just need a button. And OpenClaw... Well, OpenClaw is going to keep being the open source pick for power users. Privacy people.
Developers. Folks who don't want big tech reading their messages. It's not going away. But it might stop being the only option real soon.
Here's what I want you to take away. The next 60 days are going to be one of the biggest shifts in how AI shows up in normal people's lives. You're either going to be the business owner who already has an agent set up and looks like a wizard to your customers, or you're going to be the one playing catch-up while your competitors steal your clients. There's no third option.

Look, 2026 is the year of personal agents. That's not my line. That's been said by tons of people in this space. Google, Meta, Anthropic, every major lab is shipping in the same direction.
The chatbot is becoming the agent. The agent is becoming the assistant. The assistant is becoming part of how you live and run your business and the people who learn this first are going to look back at this year as the year they got ahead. Don't be the person who watched it happen.
Be the person who set it up. I'll see you in the next one.
