Shanghai Droi Technology Introduces DroiClaw AI-Native Operating System

SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shanghai Droi Technology has formally introduced DroiClaw, its new-generation smart terminal operating system designed to advance the global AI-device market. Known domestically as Zhuge, the platform officially launched in June 2026, debuting as a preinstalled operating system on newly released Coolpad and Philips AI smartphones.

Shanghai Droi Technology positions DroiClaw as a leading AI-native operating system designed for next-generation smart terminals. Unlike conventional mobile platforms that deploy artificial intelligence as a separate software layer, DroiClaw integrates AI capabilities directly into the system-level architecture. The company states that the platform is built around large language models, multimodal interaction, and intelligent task scheduling, introducing a new approach to traditional operating system design.

Building an App-Free Agentic OS Ecosystem

The long-term objective of DroiClaw is to establish an app-free Agentic OS ecosystem. This design aims to transition users away from manually opening and operating isolated applications. Through natural language interaction, the system is engineered to directly understand user intent, coordinate relevant background services, and complete complex multi-scenario tasks with significantly less dependence on traditional app-based workflows.

Architecturally, the platform utilizes a hybrid AI framework that combines lightweight on-device models with larger cloud-based models. Following the principles of edge-cloud collaboration and multimodal integration, DroiClaw balances low-latency responses on the terminal side with the advanced computational capabilities of cloud models for more complex tasks.

The architecture is designed to maintain a high level of local data retention for privacy-related information, helping enhance user privacy protection at the system level. Through this approach, DroiClaw aims to build a secure, controllable, and observable AI Agent ecosystem.

Driving AI Democratization Across Smart Terminals

The company aims to make advanced AI capabilities more accessible through standardized and lightweight solutions. Leveraging its experience in the terminal operating system market and ecosystem development, Droi Technology provides a structured approach that helps reduce the barriers for AI adoption. By lowering integration costs, the platform enables more device manufacturers, including smaller and emerging brands, to access capabilities such as multimodal AI agents and personalized customization, supporting broader participation in the global AI device market.

Founded in 2008, Shanghai Droi Technology specializes in operating-system development and mobile internet services. The company reports that its existing FreemeOS platform has been installed on more than 200 million devices globally, providing an established partner and terminal base across multiple regions. Following the initial smartphone deployment on platforms like the Coolpad AI Smartphone and the Philips AI Smartphone, the company intends to expand its international partnerships with hardware manufacturers, model developers, and software ecosystem participants.
