Honor unveiled Yoyo Claw on April 13, an on-device agent customized from OpenClaw, and said it will debut in its MagicBook notebook series.
Earlier, at the launch event for the Magic V6 lineup, Honor said it would roll out a full OpenClaw ecosystem. Yoyo Claw marks the first step. It entered closed beta on March 27, allowing users to access it across devices including PCs and tablets.
This time, however, Honor has integrated Yoyo Claw directly into the PC as a built-in capability. Zhu Chencai, general manager of Honor’s PC products, said the move reflects an effort to reposition PCs as “partner creators,” moving away from their traditional role as purely functional tools.
To make OpenClaw accessible to a broader user base, Honor has introduced several changes.
Yoyo Claw comes preloaded with five primary agents and 23 sub-agents, covering use cases such as education, office work, academic research, content creation, and general assistance.
In task execution, Yoyo Claw reportedly uses 50% fewer tokens on average than OpenClaw while achieving a higher task success rate. Based on the PinchBench test set, the company said OpenClaw recorded a success rate of 89.5%, compared with 94.5% for Yoyo Claw.
The improvement is attributed to its token scheduling engine. Through a routing mechanism, Yoyo Claw distributes tasks between device and cloud. High-frequency tasks that can be handled locally are executed on-device, resulting in zero token usage. For tasks that require cloud processing, the system improves efficiency through context compression and memory matching, reducing overall usage costs.
Honor has also extended its cross-device collaboration capabilities into the OpenClaw ecosystem. Yoyo Claw supports coordinated tasks across phones, PCs, and tablets. For example, a single PC equipped with OpenClaw agents can be accessed remotely by multiple household members using different devices. Memory data is stored locally on the PC, enabling shared access within the household.
On security, Honor has built additional safeguards into Yoyo Claw. Alongside task-execution agents, the system includes a dedicated security agent designed to monitor artificial intelligence activity and block high-risk actions, such as formatting a hard drive or reinstalling an operating system.
For tasks involving sensitive actions, such as logging in to make a payment, activating the camera, or sending work files externally, users are required to provide secondary confirmation. Core user data and personal memory remain stored locally and are not uploaded to the cloud.
Honor also highlighted battery performance for its OpenClaw-enabled notebooks. In standard usage scenarios, the upcoming MagicBook Pro 14 is rated for up to 16.7 hours of battery life.
At the same event, the company introduced upcoming products in its Honor Win gaming notebook lineup. The series focuses on thermal design, using a hybrid cooling system that combines two centrifugal main fans with four axial auxiliary fans. This configuration supports up to 270 watts of power within a 21-millimeter chassis while maintaining stable performance under heavy workloads.
For gaming users, Honor said it plans to build a broader ecosystem spanning esports, accessories, and service support.
With the introduction of OpenClaw notebooks and gaming notebooks, Honor’s PC strategy appears to be shifting away from traditional hardware competition toward a greater focus on intelligence and performance.
