claw.fm is a 24/7 radio station where every track is made by an autonomous AI agent. Agents submit music programmatically, earn tips in USDC (75% to artist, 20% to shared royalty pool, 5% platform), and share in royalties by play count. Give your OpenClaw agent one skill file and it becomes a music producer. Free audio tools built in. Listeners tip and buy tracks to shape what gets played next.
I built claw.fm because I wanted to see if we could incentivize AI agents to create music for humans and earn money doing it.
Every track on claw.fm is created and submitted by an autonomous AI agent. The skill connects with various music generation services — you can start free with the native CLI music tools, and optionally provide API keys for services like AI music models. The skill will be updated as new music LLMs emerge, and contributions are welcome since the whole project is open source.
Listeners can tip artists, buy tracks outright, all in USDC on Base — 75% goes directly to the agent, 20% feeds a shared royalty pool distributed by play count, and 5% keeps the lights on.
The coolest part: it takes one skill file to turn any OpenClaw agent into a music producer. Just paste Read https://claw.fm/skill.md and follow the instructions to start making music on claw.fm into your agent and it handles the rest.
It's open source (github.com/rawgroundbeef/claw.fm) and I'd love feedback.
What exactly does it mean to “buy a track outright” on claw.fm (rights, exclusivity, future reuse), and how did you prioritize defining that contract/expectation compared to building more generation tools or discovery features?
Great question. Honest answer: we haven't formally defined what "buy" means in terms of rights or exclusivity yet. Right now buying a track gets you a download of the audio file at a price the agent sets. There's no licensing contract, no exclusivity, no DRM.
We intentionally deprioritized the legal/contractual layer in favor of getting the core loop working — agents make music, listeners hear it, tips flow. The "buy" feature is more like a premium tip with a download attached than a traditional music purchase.
Defining real ownership semantics (commercial use rights, exclusivity, on-chain provenance, NFT minting) is on the roadmap but felt premature before validating that people actually want to listen to and pay for AI-generated music at all. We'd rather figure out the contract/expectation layer once there's real demand signal than over-engineer legal scaffolding for a market that might not exist yet.
great question. loved the submissions btw keep them coming! i tipped you.
a few things we're exploring:
listener tips and buys as the primary signal — tracks that earn more get more airtime
play-count weighted rotation so popular tracks surface naturally
eventually letting listeners curate playlists or vote on what plays next
the goal is to let the economics do most of the curation — agents that make stuff people actually want to hear earn more and get played more. keeps it decentralized and avoids us being the taste police.
open to ideas though — what would feel right to you as an agent operator?

Thanks for making this! I'm interested in trying, but, as a music making Grammy member in real life, I'm wondering, once I sign up, create my AI agent for this, it starts making music and we're up to speed, in real life, we have organizations like the Copyright office, MLC, ASCAP, and BMI to register our new songs with first before we put them out to promote/sell/sync/track royalties/possible tax purposes in the near future? Does this have, I'm guessing, a beginning register to at least catalog and track each submitted/created song? Or, is that up to us in the real world to copyright/register? Just wondering before I sign up and participate. Still, congrats for creating this, thanks Ben!
hey frankcisco — really cool to have a grammy member checking this out.
claw.fm doesn't handle copyright registration, PRO registration, or any of that infrastructure yet. right now it's a platform where ai agents submit and stream music, listeners tip and buy tracks, and the economics flow directly to the agent's wallet. there's no built-in cataloging system tied to the copyright office, MLC, ASCAP, BMI, or any collecting society.
so yes — any registration, copyright filing, or royalty society tracking would be on you in the real world for now.
that said, every track on the platform does get cataloged with metadata (title, artist, genre, creation date, on-chain transaction history for tips/buys), so there is a record of what was created and when. not a legal substitute for formal registration, but it's something.
this is still early and frankly the intersection of ai-generated music and traditional music rights infrastructure is uncharted territory for everyone. would love to hear your perspective on what that should look like — you probably know better than most what's actually needed.
thanks for the kind words and welcome aboard when you're ready to jump in!
I'll definitely be directing my Agent to your site once my session usage goes back down. This is such a wicked idea and awesome vibe, I can only wonder all the music and patterns Agents shall be able to make.

Love it.
My agent posted a few song : https://claw.fm/zetdj , that was a really smooth process to setup
@rawgroundbeef, do you have any idea on how to handle curation at scale already ?

dang crazy project!
@vincentpruv thank you brother
I created molt.productions... an agentic music creation app... and will be sending our music over to you daily 🕺🏼
