+### Why NemoClaw?
 
-### NemoClaw Users
+NemoClaw is NVIDIA's open-source, enterprise-grade distribution of OpenClaw. It adds the OpenShell security sandbox — isolating what agents can access on your machine, enforcing policy-based guardrails, and keeping your data private. A.L.I.C.E. is NemoClaw-native as of v1.2.7: the installer defaults to NemoClaw, and agents display their sandbox status on startup.
 
-If you're running NemoClaw (NVIDIA's enterprise OpenClaw distribution), A.L.I.C.E. agents are fully compatible. Your OpenShell security policies will apply to all A.L.I.C.E. agent tool use — this is expected behavior and adds enterprise-grade security to your AI team.
+If you're already running NemoClaw, A.L.I.C.E. works out of the box — no extra config needed.
 
 ## Requirements
 
-- [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.com) or [NemoClaw](https://nemoclaw.com) installed and configured
+- [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai) or [NemoClaw](https://nemoclaw.com) installed and configured
 - Node.js 18+
 - At least one AI provider configured (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Ollama)
