Clawd, Claude's Pulse
Clawd, Claude's Pulse, is a web application hosted on Vercel that monitors and displays the real-time status and heartbeat of Claude, an AI assistant, providing a visual pulse-like interface for users to check availability and operational status.
Background
Clawd is an open-source web app that visualizes Claude's "state" — a stream of its internal reflections, system prompts, and model status updates — giving users a window into what the AI is "thinking" between responses. It's part of a broader trend (like Anthropic's "Model Context Protocol" or the growing interest in AI observability) where developers try to make black-box language models more transparent. The name plays on "Claude" + "Paw" (Anthropic's mascot is a friendly creature with paws), and "Pulse" suggests a heartbeat monitor for the model. For readers following AI interpretability and agentic systems, Clawd represents a move toward treating AI systems less as opaque oracles and more as entities whose internal processes can be inspected, even if that inspection is itself a simulation.
