YTL AI Labs on Tuesday introduced ILMU Claw, a platform that allows users and businesses to build autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents on locally hosted infrastructure, as interest in so-called agentic software accelerates.

The company said in a statement the launch builds on rising global momentum around AI agents, with open-source project OpenClaw gaining traction among developers and non-technical users by lowering barriers to entry through simple prompt-based tools.

ILMU Claw integrates with OpenClaw and enables users to create AI agents without complex setup or coding, supporting use cases such as travel planning, email management and workflow automation. Businesses can deploy the agents for customer service and operational tasks.

The platform runs on YTL’s domestic cloud infrastructure, addressing concerns among some firms about routing sensitive data through overseas systems.

It is powered by ILMU-Nemo-Nano, developed with NVIDIA, with enterprise deployments supported by additional security and policy controls.

The launch comes as Malaysian firms explore AI adoption while balancing data governance requirements.

ILMU Claw expands the group’s ILMU suite, which includes the ILMUchat conversational AI currently in public beta.
