    From the README

    Your secure personal AI assistant, always on your side

    IronClaw is built on a simple principle: your AI assistant should work for you, not against you.

    In a world where AI systems are increasingly opaque about data handling and aligned with corporate interests, IronClaw takes a different approach:

    IronClaw is the AI assistant you can actually trust with your personal and professional life.
