PlugClaw: A USB Stick That Lets AI Agents Work Without Touching Your Data
San Francisco – September 08, 2026 -- TrustKernel has begun shipping PlugClaw worldwide, moving the device from pre-order to general availability starting at $149 with no mandatory subscription.
The product is a USB-C stick measuring 50 x 19 x 8 mm and weighing 15 grams, built around a MediaTek Helio G80 processor with up to 6 GB of memory and 128 GB of encrypted storage. It runs PlugOS, a privacy-hardened Android system, alongside Ubuntu as an agent runtime.
Plugging it in turns any device into an AI workstation
Users connect PlugClaw to a phone, tablet, or computer, which then acts only as a display and input source. The AI agent, its applications, login credentials, and full execution environment run entirely on PlugClaw's own hardware rather than the host device.
