How about "Open Assistants"? "OpenAss" for short?

I think claws is a great name. They let the AI go grab things. They snap away and get stuff done. Claws are powerful and everything that has claws is cool.

Some of this may be slightly satirical.

(But I still think “claws” works better than “personal assistant” which anthropomorphises the technology too much.)

Stupid name? sure, but there's no point in fighting it. Claws is a sticky name.

"Personal assistant” already has enough uses (both a narrower literal definition and a broader metaphorical definition applying to tools which includes but is not limited to what "claws" refers to) that using it probably makes communication more confusing rather than more clear. I don't think “claws” is a great name, but it does have the desirable trait of not already being heavily overloaded in a way that would promote confusion in the domain of application.

"OpenClanker"?

> OpenSlave" would be a better fit.

Wow. Can we please not?
