It compiles to a single ~32MB binary and introduces 'Hands' — pre-built autonomous capability packages that run on schedules without user prompting. The 7 bundled Hands cover use cases like lead generation, OSINT intelligence, content clipping, social media management, web automation, research, and forecasting. The system features 16 security layers (including WASM sandboxing, Merkle hash-chain audit trails, and prompt injection scanning), 40 channel adapters, 27 LLM providers, and an OpenAI-compatible API. Benchmarks compare it favorably against LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and OpenClaw on cold start time, memory usage, and install size. Migration tooling from OpenClaw is included. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Is it better than Spacebot too ? **@alexeyzerkalenkov** · 0 upvotes > This sounds very promising! Guys, just check their specs: > 32MB, < 200ms cold start, 16 security layers, 7 builtin agents, 53 tools, MCP, A2P, builtin, SQLite + vector. Nice! Thanks for sharing. Will give it a try. =) **@jacealtgen** · 0 upvotes > Gave it a spin yesterday. Will have to do some digging into the agents because I really. Really. Don’t want to get a grok key for stuff to work. Otherwise super simple to install - I did quickly check the [install.sh](http://install.sh) - a method that should really go the way of the dodo but well. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenFANG: The Rust Agent OS Benchmarked Against CrewAI & LangGraph](https://daily.dev/posts/openfang-the-rust-agent-os-benchmarked-against-crewai-langgraph-wkgqbqrs1) · SitePoint · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [OpenClaw Full Tutorial for Beginners](https://daily.dev/posts/openclaw-full-tutorial-for-beginners-a1y2rfmsc) · freeCodeCamp · 3 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#rust](https://daily.dev/tags/rust) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/arcvdpfqr) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/arcvdpfqr","headline":"RightNow-AI/openfang: Open-source Agent Operating System","text":"Shared: RightNow-AI/openfang: Open-source Agent Operating System","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/arcvdpfqr","datePublished":"2026-02-26T10:09:25.217Z","dateModified":"2026-03-15T06:21:18.529Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Santiago Fernandez","url":"https://daily.dev/santifprimary","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--CKBwhOX3--/f_auto/v1755430323/avatars/avatar_LcMhF86vGZ2UwJd1CTKA4?_a=BAMClqZW0","description":"Software Architect & hands-on coder with 25+ years in tech.
