Agentic AI is a system that can pursue a goal by itself, decide what to do next, carry out several steps in sequence, and adjust along the way, rather than waiting for a new instruction after each reply.

An agent computer is a device built to run AI agents — software you delegate tasks to rather than operate step by step. Where a PC waits for your next click, an agent computer works on your behalf, often around the clock, and it can report back wherever you are. ASUS agent computers span laptops, desktops, mini PCs, NUCs, and workstations. They are sized for agents that run locally, in the cloud, or both.

Generative AI produces something within a single application each time you prompt it, such as text, an image, or a section of programming code. Agentic AI may use multiple tools to complete a multi-stage task.

Yes. Agentic AI can run in the cloud, locally or in a hybrid setup. A local Agent Computer gives you a dedicated platform to run supported AI models and agents on your own hardware, with greater control over your data and less reliance on paid cloud APIs. For frequent AI use and ongoing agent workflows, this can help reduce recurring API token costs, with actual savings depending on your setup and usage.

You can also connect to cloud services when needed, combining the everyday benefits of local AI with access to additional models and capabilities. Choose a local device with the performance and memory capacity to support your workflows and room to grow as your AI needs evolve.

The right choice depends on where your agents run and how heavily you use them. A laptop is ideal for cloud-based agents, while a mini PCs or desktop with a capable GPU or NPU suits hybrid and everyday local agents. Workstation-class systems are ideal for large models, fine-tuning, and always-on agent teams. Whatever the tier, prioritize memory (system RAM, plus VRAM for local models), fast storage, and sustained cooling, since agents tend to run continuously rather than in short bursts.

ASUS offers a full range of agent computers in the form of laptops, desktops, NUCs, custom PCs, and deskside AI supercomputers. With a product available at every tier, your agents can run in the cloud, on your desk, or both. Getting started is simple: The ASUS EZ Installer readies the mini PCs or NUCs for OpenClaw in one click, and the selector on this page matches you to the right machine.

On the software side, ASUS Zenni Claw helps users get started quickly with guided agent workflows for work, travel, and daily life. ASUS Zenni AI Hub gives teams a unified platform to deploy LLMs, select models that fit their needs, coordinate multiple AI agents, and build private knowledge bases with Knowledge+.
