How does this compare to YC's qm?

fair question and there are lots of overlap, here some diffs we found important for us - 1) the agent never holds your keys and all its traffic goes to onecli gateway. which adds the secret at the moment of the request. 2) our approval mechanism for risky actions like sending an email or deleting data need human approval. 3) each agent gets its own Slack app with a name, and its own avatar. QM uses one shared workspace bot for everyone, in onecli it will be three agents that look like three people in Slack, not one bot.

How do you even win in this space? I feel like every day I see either a paid or fully OSS version of this product being posted here. As an end user I've become so overwhelmed that I've just started to mostly ignore them at this point. I can't be the only potential customer feeling this way?

Honestly, we're not sure yet how we win this space. We both come from security backgrounds, and that's probably what led us to where we are today. basically we built the gateway first because we were afraid of using openclaw the way it came out of the box. we didn't even connect our gmail out of fear. then after a while working with agents behind the gateway, we just started building our own agent that integrates bet…

This I fully agree. I think I was few who never wanted to try Open Claw or wanted to connect my accounts because I saw someone at Meta getting their emails deleted.

Then after I listened to Garry’s talk on Gbrain last week I thought why not give it a try.

So connected my email and calendar to a simple agent I built via MCP and I get a summery of important emails and also delete all non important ones.

Still a WIP: https://github.com/rukshn/zen

But I agree the space is very much crowded

Looks good , but I don't understand the licensing. The bottom of the read me says it's Apache 2.0, except for the /ee folder, but I don't see the /ee folder in the repo, at least not at the top-level. I also don't see anything about what the enterprise features are on the actual web page.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I had the project already starred, I lurk around the sandbox space from time to time, and the project it's a few months old and was already discoverable and in a usable state before today.

Still, over 3,000 stars so quick? It's just weird.

The earliest repository commits and initial public announcements show this date: March 17, 2026.

Honest question, how does this project already has over 3,200 stars on GitHub? Their video demo was posted 13 hours ago, and it only has 38 views as of the time of this post. The post on HN is 4 hours ago.

I started using OneCLI when Nanoclaw (came out just after Open Claw) announced them as the way to handle credentials. I think that may have been their first boost?

I’ve known them for months, the product was available for at least that much time. I guess this is just a funding announcement, not a launch from nothing.
