What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant gateway created by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger. Launched as Clawdbot in November 2025, it reached 337,000 stars and 66,000 forks in just months โ€” making it one of the fastest-growing open-source projects in history.

It runs as a local Node.js gateway connecting to 50+ messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, WeChat, Matrix) with AI models of your choice. In February 2026 it was transferred to the OpenClaw Foundation.
