Prosus launches ToqanClaw, privacy-first AI alternative to OpenClaw
In brief
- Prosus launched ToqanClaw, a no-code platform for building custom tools using plain language with Toqan AI infrastructure
- ToqanClaw keeps data under European control and never trains third-party models, differentiating from OpenClaw competitors
- Platform deploys across Prosus' network of five million restaurants, merchants, and entrepreneurs
- Early partners report efficiency gains: one Dutch café reduced financial reporting from weeks to 30 minutes
Built on Prosus' Own Infrastructure
ToqanClaw is built in-house and integrated with Prosus' own AI platform, Toqan, bringing many of OpenClaw's features into a secure environment. The key differentiator: data stays under user control and is never used to train third-party models. This approach directly addresses the privacy concerns that have made OpenClaw, Hermes, and similar AI agents targets of growing regulatory attention in Europe.
Prosus has invested heavily in its own Large Commerce Model, trained on data from more than a billion customers and hundreds of millions of daily interactions. That foundation enables ToqanClaw to run on proprietary infrastructure rather than relying on external AI vendors.
Early Results Drive Adoption
ToqanClaw is being rolled out across a network of more than five million restaurants, merchants, and entrepreneurs. Early deployments show measurable impact. One Dutch café chain reduced financial reporting from weeks to 30 minutes and achieved 40% year-on-year revenue growth. Another restaurant partner increased deliveries by 25% while cutting overtime by 60%.
These aren't theoretical gains. They're the kind of operational wins that drive adoption in competitive markets.
Beyond Business: Zapia for Consumers
Prosus isn't stopping at enterprise. The company is also introducing a consumer-facing assistant called Zapia, which is tailored to everyday use. CEO Fabricio Bloisi framed the vision in a statement: "We're not only building the future for our ecosystem partners, we're also building AI that works for consumers. The future isn't about opening ten apps to plan your week, book a trip or compare a price. You'll simply tell your assistant what you want, and it will get it done."
The timing is deliberate. German authorities have already taken action against biometric data practices in identity systems, signaling that European regulators won't tolerate data practices that treat user information as training fuel. Prosus is betting that privacy-first AI, built on local infrastructure, is the answer to that regulatory pressure—and a genuine market advantage.
