**OpenClaw** (formerly **Clawdbot,** **Moltbot,** and **Molty**) is a [free and open-source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software "Free and open-source software") autonomous [artificial intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence "Artificial intelligence") [agent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_agent "AI agent") developed by Peter Steinberger. It is an [autonomous agent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_agent "Autonomous agent") that can execute tasks via [large language models](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model "Large language model") (LLMs), using messaging platforms as its main user interface.
OpenClaw achieved popularity in late-January 2026, credited to its open source nature and the viral popularity of the [Moltbook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moltbook "Moltbook") project. On February 14, 2026, Steinberger announced he will be joining [OpenAI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI "OpenAI") and the project will be moved to an open-source foundation.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenClaw#cite_note-Steinberger_joins_OpenAI-1)
