Three open-source AI agent harnesses now dominate the OpenClaw-adjacent ecosystem — OpenClaw (375K stars), Hermes Agent (171K, fastest-growing), and Pi (57K, supply-chain hardened). Here is when to use which.
Refreshed for May 2026. Twelve open-source AI agents for drug discovery — ChemCrow (914⭐), Virtual Lab (683), OriGene, DrugClaw, MDCrow, ChemGraph, BioClaw, PyMolClaw, TCM-Agent and more. Pick by use case, not stars.

Someone rebuilt China's Tang Dynasty government as a multi-agent system. Nine AI ministers produced 12 deliverables in 40 minutes. Here's how — and why it actually worked.
AutoResearchClaw turns a single chat message into a complete research paper. 23-stage pipeline, multi-agent debate, citation verification, anti-hallucination. 9K+ stars. Setup guide + video demos included.
BioClaw turns any messaging app into a bioinformatics workstation. BLAST from WhatsApp, phylogenetic trees from Discord. Full setup guide with Docker deployment.
Two independent teams — Princeton and Beijing — built AI science agents with nearly identical names. One does bioinformatics, the other does drug discovery. Even the authors can't agree on how to spell it.

Chinese Academy of Sciences built an AI agent that reads tool documentation, learns to use 67 bioinformatics programs, and self-improves with every task. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
Eight production-ready biomedical AI agents in one comparison: Biomni (2.9K⭐), MedgeClaw, ClawBio, STELLA, BioDiscoveryAgent, CellVoyager, BioMedAgent, and Darwin. Pick by use case, not stars.
107 projects share 6 upstream codebases. This visual lineage map traces every fork, rewrite, and independent creation in the OpenClaw science ecosystem.
May was the month of consolidation: only 2 new projects added (vs 37 in April), but the ecosystem grew +164K stars (+12.4%). Hermes Agent broke 170K, academic-research-skills jumped +491%, and the agent harness category solidified.
LabClaw ships 240 pre-built skills for wet lab research — from PCR protocol design to CRISPR guide RNA selection. The most comprehensive lab-focused skill set in the OpenClaw ecosystem.
The OpenClaw science ecosystem grew from 0 to 54 projects in March 2026. First monthly report covering launches, trends, and what's coming next.
April brought 37 new projects, a Hermes Agent breakout (+44K stars), the first paper-locked stable cohort, and one project lost to an account deletion. Here's what changed in the OpenClaw science ecosystem.
5 medical AI agents all share similar names. We compare MedClaw (3 variants), MedgeClaw, and MolClaw — architecture, features, and which one fits your research.
How to set up OpenClaw as a biology research assistant — install, configure LLM providers, add bioinformatics skills, connect to your lab's messaging apps.
Complete guide to the OpenClaw ecosystem for scientific research — 107+ projects, 24 skill hubs, and how to navigate this rapidly growing landscape.
6 independent projects all named PaperClaw. We compare their focus, architecture, and star counts to help you find the right paper-writing AI agent.
4 independent teams built 4 different ScienceClaws. From multi-agent research platforms to paper writing tools — which ScienceClaw is which?
