OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source agent that connects large language models to messaging platforms and local development tools, created by Peter Steinberger and launched in November 2025. Now governed by the OpenClaw Foundation after Steinberger's departure to OpenAI, it enables developers to interact with AI coding assistants through familiar chat interfaces. OpenClaw has surpassed 200,000 GitHub stars and spawned an active ecosystem of forks and variants including IronClaw, NanoClaw, and Kimi Claw.
