The biggest GPU company on the planet just built an enterprise wrapper around a free open-source tool because their customers are already using it — and IT can’t stop them. At GTC this week, NVIDIA announced NemoClaw — a software stack that deploys secure AI agents on OpenClaw with a single command. Enterprise guardrails, audit trails, sandboxed execution. It’s a good product, and it’s a confession. I talk to organisations every day that are trying to build enterprise agents. To be clear: the first wave of enterprise AI worked.
