NanoClaw’s creator discusses small agent runtimes and enterprise controls

Changelog’s interview with NanoClaw creator Gavriel Cohen covers a small, container-isolated agent runtime and the organizational controls needed around it. The official episode description highlights customization through skills, human approvals and preserving useful context beyond chat. It also lists a technical discussion of TypeScript, SQLite and a two-database design, rather than presenting agents as only a model choice.
