KEY POINTS
TORONTO, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ASUS today announced that ASUS Zenni Claw, its agentic AI assistant, is now available as a free download for supported ASUS devices. Designed to make agentic AI easier to start with, Zenni Claw turns everyday prompts into guided AI workflows — with ready-to-use skills for work, travel, and daily planning, and controls that keep users in charge of every step.
Agentic AI can take on real, multi-step tasks — but getting started often means fiddly setup and a blank prompt. ASUS Zenni Claw lowers that barrier. With a guided three-step installation, a simplified interface, and a library of ready-to-use ASUS skills, it helps people go from idea to result without needing to be an AI expert.
Because it switches outputs flexibly between the device and the cloud, Zenni Claw is built to balance responsiveness and efficiency while cutting unnecessary cloud processing. Its safety-focused architecture is designed to improve privacy and user control as AI agents interact with tools, files, and workflows.
Built to make agentic AI easier to use
Zenni Claw is designed to be easy to install and easy to use, with a guided setup that removes much of the complexity often associated with AI agent tools. Ready-to-use ASUS skills offer selected workflows for practical scenarios, so users can begin with a real task instead of a blank prompt. Flexible local-cloud routing lets it draw on local or cloud-supported experiences depending on the task, device capability, model availability, and user preference, while built-in, safety-focused controls help protect users as AI agents interact with tools, files, and workflows. Zenni Claw runs in a contained workspace, kept separate from personal files and the main system, with sensitive-data filtering, prompt-injection protection, and safeguards that keep API keys protected on the device instead of exposed to the workflow.
Skills for work, travel, daily life, and creation
Zenni Claw starts with essential skills through three everyday assistants. Work Assistant turns ideas, updates, and research into work-ready materials — helping users organize meeting notes and action items, follow industry updates, and create editable presentation drafts. Travel Assistant helps users plan smarter before and during a trip, monitoring flight options, building itineraries, and surfacing local experiences beyond the standard tourist spots. Life Assistant brings everyday decisions into one place, from morning briefings and interest-based news to outdoor gear planning and group dining recommendations.
In total, Zenni Claw launches with 11 ready tasks and 14 ready-to-use ASUS Skills.
More features coming
Zenni Claw is designed to expand over time. Starting from essential assistant skills, it will add more assistant experiences and connected ASUS workflows across work, life, travel, creator, and system scenarios, supporting more of the ways people plan, create, and get things done. Future features and availability are subject to change. Users can also add their own skills and call them up directly in chat, alongside the built-in ASUS Skills.
Availability
ASUS Zenni Claw is available now as a free download from the ASUS website for supported ASUS devices running Windows 11 (64-bit), with 16 GB of RAM and 20 GB of available storage recommended; some local model features may require higher system specifications. It is launching in beta as ASUS continues to refine the experience. Zenni Claw is an optional installation and does not come preinstalled; devices that do not meet local model requirements can run it in Cloud-only mode. While the app itself is free, some advanced cloud model usage may depend on the user’s own API setup or token usage, depending on the selected AI model.
