Five surgical edits (en + zh parallel):
1. Tagline: 'Your AI needs a Plan B.' — category-defining one-liner
replacing the prior descriptive 'fourteen brains' version.
2. New 'AI is becoming infrastructure' section anchors MateClaw to
the 2026 industry inflection point (the March Claude outages,
57% of enterprises running agents in production).
3. Honest peer comparison — OpenClaw and Hermes Agent added to the
table with accurate facts (both are multi-provider, both are
personal-first tooling). Windsurf removed. License fixed:
OpenClaw is MIT.
4. Reframed competitive positioning under the table — dropped the
self-flattering caption and replaced with an honest split:
OpenClaw and Hermes are for single-user laptops; MateClaw is
the team-grade version with RBAC, approval, audit, admin
dashboard, and a Spring Boot core.
5. Project structure corrected to list only modules that actually
ship to the open-source repo (server, ui, webchat, plugin-api,
plugin-sample). Desktop noted separately as a binary release.
Also: UI-path hint in the failover section, a new centered $0 cost
statement after the surfaces table, Java badge bumped to 21+.
Hero + headline
- Lead with the insight most AI tools fail on: vendors go down, memory
resets, one channel = one product. Position MateClaw as the whole
widget — one deployment covering reasoning, knowledge, memory, tools
and channels.
Three product anchors replace the old feature wall
1. Multi-model failover — primary vendor key fails, runtime routes to
the next healthy provider (DashScope / OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini
/ DeepSeek / Kimi / Ollama / LM Studio / MLX, 14+ total) with a
provider health tracker cooling down bad vendors.
2. Knowledge that links itself — LLM Wiki digests raw material into
linked pages with citation-level traceability.
3. Five surfaces, one brain — Web Console, Desktop (bundled JRE 21),
Webchat Widget, 7 IM channels, Plugin SDK.
Comparison table tightened
- 13-column × 7-product matrix collapsed to 5 rows × 4 competitors,
focused on dimensions where MateClaw carves real space.
Project structure corrected
- Previous version only listed 3 modules. Now lists all seven:
mateclaw-server / -ui / -desktop / -webchat / -plugin-api /
-plugin-sample / matevip-sites.
Tech stack updated
- Java badge bumped to 21+ (was 17+); Flyway surfaced; Webchat row
added.
Size: each README 230 → 203 lines.
Full-stack AI assistant built on Spring AI Alibaba.
Features: ReAct Agent, Plan-and-Execute, MCP Protocol, Multi-Model, Multi-Channel.
