I think "Claw" as the noun for OpenClaw-like agents - AI agents that generally run on personal hardware, communicate via messaging protocols and can both act on direct instructions and schedule tasks - is going to stick.

I’m actually sure it’s not going to stick, it’s a ridiculous name that has nothing to do with the actual product.
I almost guarantee no one will be using this term in two years.
Claws? It sounds stupid and the average consumer hates stupid spending terms, the same reason Microsoft “Zune” never caught on.
The viral memetics of different terms are so fascinating to watch, and I love that this might give trademark lawyers conniptions in the future.
In the WordPress ecosystem, there was a lot of variation around "press."
