Xiaoyi Claw: Huawei's "HarmonyOS Edition of Lobster" 147

Xiaoyi Claw is the ai assistant for Huawei's HarmonyOS system ai, known as the "HarmonyOS version of Lobster". It integrates the open-source project OpenClaw and serves as a new feature module within Huawei's Xiaoyi assistant, currently in the testing phase.
