Description
Bug Description
AutoClaw website incorrectly claims Intel Mac support across multiple domains, but no Intel version exists. Download buttons for Intel Mac redirect to or download the Apple Silicon version instead.
Problem Details
Affected Websites:
| URL | Issue |
|---|---|
| https://autoclaws.org/one-click-install/ | Claims Intel support, DL button broken |
| https://autoclaw.zhipuai.cn/ | Claims "Apple Silicon and Intel devices" |
| https://autoclaw.ai (or .com) | Same false claim |
False Claims on Website:
From autoclaws.org/one-click-install/:
macOS: Native macOS application (.dmg) supporting macOS 12 Monterey and later. Full feature parity with the Windows version, optimized for Apple Silicon and Intel processors.
From autoclaw.zhipuai.cn/.ai:
Yes. AutoClaw supports Windows 10 and later, plus macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel devices.
Actual Behavior:
- User visits website on Windows → Sees MacOS Intel download button
- User clicks Intel Mac download → Gets Apple Silicon (.dmg) version
- No actual Intel build available for download
- Users with Intel Macs cannot use the software
Impact
User Confusion:
- ❌ Intel Mac users download wrong architecture
- ❌ Downloaded app won't run on Intel machines
- ❌ Wasted time troubleshooting "broken" install
- ❌ Trust issues with product accuracy
Technical Reality:
Claimed: ✅ Apple Silicon + Intel support
Actual: ❌ Apple Silicon ONLY (no Intel build)
Suggested Fixes
Option A: Remove Intel Claims (Quick Fix)
- Update all websites to say: "Apple Silicon only"
- Remove/hide Intel download buttons
- Add note: "Intel Mac support coming soon" if planned
Option B: Provide Intel Build (Proper Fix)
- Build and upload actual Intel (.dmg) version
- Ensure download buttons serve correct architecture
- Test on real Intel Mac hardware
Option C: Clear Architecture Detection (Ideal)
- Auto-detect user OS/architecture
- Show only relevant download option
- Add manual override for advanced users
- Display clear labels: "For Intel Mac" vs "For Apple Silicon"
Screenshots / Evidence Needed:
Developers should verify:
- Visit https://autoclaws.org/one-click/install/ on each platform
- Check what download buttons are shown
- Click each button and verify downloaded file architecture
- Test install on actual Intel Mac

Research direction
Start by checking the download and support claims at autoclaws.org/one-click-install/, autoclaw.zhipuai.cn, and autoclaw.ai or .com, then verify which architecture each button serves. Trace those website entry points to the relevant content and download configuration. Done means Intel support is no longer claimed unless an Intel build exists, and each visible download option matches its label.
