The company is presenting it as a safer, more private alternative to OpenClaw-style agents, with data kept under European control, as detailed in its official announcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">\u201cBuilt in-house and integrated with Prosus&#8217; own AI platform, Toqan, it brings many of OpenClaw&#8217;s features into a secure environment, where your data stays under your control and is never used to train third-party models,\u201d Prosus said in its announcement.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: The Decrypt News roundup with TylerD - June 23rd\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/68EJEENHkCOSjUoZizxDIo?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">ToqanClaw runs on Prosus&#8217; in-house AI infrastructure and is being rolled out across a network of more than five million restaurants, merchants, and entrepreneurs, according to the company. This is especially important in the context of the GDPR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">That positioning may appeal to organizations concerned about privacy and governance around AI tool use, since agent systems often rely on external tools and services that are not fully controlled by the model provider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">This comes as OpenClaw, Hermes, and similar AI agents have drawn growing regulatory attention in Europe. German authorities have already taken action against biometric data practices in identity systems, and concerns around security and data handling continue to rise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Early results from restaurant partners show practical improvements. One Dutch caf\u00e9 chain reduced financial reporting from weeks to 30 minutes and achieved 40% year-on-year revenue growth, Prosus says.
