TECNO has announced the upcoming beta testing of EllaClaw, a mobile AI agent built on the OpenClaw framework and integrated with its Ella AI assistant. It is designed for emerging markets and operates at the system level to handle multi-step and long-duration tasks on smartphones.
EllaClaw mobile AI agent
EllaClaw is developed through integration of the OpenClaw agentic framework with TECNO’s Ella assistant. Unlike the standalone OpenClaw setup, which requires technical deployment, EllaClaw is accessible directly within the Ella assistant without a separate entry point. It functions at the system level, enabling task execution across apps and services.

- Multi-step and long-duration tasks: Supports execution of complex workflows over extended durations
- System-level operation: Works across apps for task execution and automation
- Cross-app data integration: Connects SMS, calendar, notes, and other apps to aggregate information
