The AI agent, OpenClaw, reached its zenith in March 2026, amassing 250,000 Stars and achieving a monthly invocation volume of 10.4T Tokens. However, the landscape shifted dramatically in April, with its traffic experiencing a swift and substantial decline, plummeting by 50.67% on a month-on-month basis. The ripple effect was felt by its derivative product, the "Lobster" Agent, as well. The overseas iteration, QClaw, developed by Tencent, witnessed an astonishing 99.19% month-on-month nosedive in traffic. Meanwhile, the Agent community, InStreet, saw its visits dwindle by a significant 91.10%.

The root cause of this precipitous drop in traffic can be attributed to a mass exodus of bandwagon users, deterred by the high barriers to deployment and the considerable time investment required. Furthermore, some entrepreneurs, weighing the costs and benefits, opted to abandon its utilization as a "digital employee," citing concerns over maintenance expenses, Token consumption, and stability issues as key factors in their decision.
