OpenClaw
by OpenClaw
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework featuring a dual-loop architecture, recursive tool calling, context compaction, and 14+ multi-channel chat integrations. Launched in early 2026, it gained significant traction particularly in China as an autonomous agent capable of taking over a device to complete tasks without user intervention. It supports multiple LLM providers, ships with the ClawHub skill marketplace, and has spawned a broad ecosystem including managed wrappers (Klaus), embedded ports (PycoClaw), and first-class integrations with third-party platforms.
