The Management Problem
Running one AI agent is straightforward. Running ten is manageable. Running a hundred across multiple teams, projects, and environments? That is where things start to fall apart. As organizations move from experimenting with AI agents to deploying them in production, a critical gap has emerged: there is no good way to see what all your agents are doing, how they are performing, and whether they need intervention.
ClawDeck, available at clawdeck.io and open-sourced on GitHub at clawdeckio/clawdeck, is built to fill that gap. Think of it as mission control for your AI agent fleet.
What ClawDeck Does
At its core, ClawDeck is an agent management dashboard that provides centralized visibility and control over distributed AI agents. The key features address the most common pain points teams encounter as they scale agent deployments.
- Session tracking. Every agent session is logged and searchable. You can see when an agent started, what tasks it was assigned, what actions it took, and how it concluded. This is essential for debugging, auditing, and understanding agent behavior patterns over time.
- Real-time monitoring. A live dashboard shows the current state of all active agents. Which agents are running, what they are working on, how long they have been active, and whether any are stuck or behaving unexpectedly. Teams can set up alerts for anomalous behavior or resource consumption.
- Orchestration. ClawDeck does not just observe agents, it can coordinate them. Teams can define workflows that involve multiple agents, set up dependencies between agent tasks, and manage the handoff of work from one agent to another. This is particularly valuable for complex pipelines where several specialized agents need to collaborate.
- Log aggregation. Agent logs from across your infrastructure are collected, indexed, and made searchable in a single interface. No more SSH-ing into different servers or digging through scattered log files to understand what happened during a failed agent run.
Integration with the OpenClaw Ecosystem
ClawDeck is designed to work seamlessly with agents built on the OpenClaw framework, though its architecture is flexible enough to support other agent platforms as well. For OpenClaw users, integration is minimal. A few lines of configuration connect your agents to ClawDeck, and the dashboard begins populating automatically.
The project also integrates with common infrastructure tools. Logs can be forwarded to existing observability platforms, alerts can be routed through standard notification channels, and the API allows teams to build custom integrations with their existing toolchains.
Why Open Source Matters Here
The decision to open-source ClawDeck is significant. Agent management is a space where trust and transparency are paramount. Organizations need to know exactly what data is being collected about their agents, how it is stored, and who has access. An open-source approach lets teams audit the code, run the dashboard on their own infrastructure, and customize it to their specific security and compliance requirements.
The GitHub repository is active, with regular contributions from both the core team and the community. Issues are triaged promptly, and the project maintains clear documentation for both users and contributors.
The Bigger Picture
ClawDeck represents an important maturation of the AI agent ecosystem. The early days of any technology are dominated by the core capability itself. Can we build agents that work? As that question gets answered, attention shifts to the operational layer. Can we manage, monitor, and govern these agents at scale?
This is the same pattern we saw with cloud computing, containers, and microservices. The technology came first, and the management tooling followed. Kubernetes did not exist when the first containers were deployed, but it became essential as container adoption scaled. ClawDeck is positioning itself to play a similar role for AI agents.
Getting Started
For teams already running OpenClaw agents, ClawDeck is worth evaluating. The setup is straightforward, the open-source license removes procurement friction, and the visibility it provides pays for itself the first time you need to debug a production agent issue.
