Message from January 31st, blast source AI Agent Clawdbot After two changes in name in hours, after a brief change of name to MoltbotQuickly adjusted to sound more comfortable OpenClaw.
According to Wccftech, the direct reason for this change of name is the pressure of the AI giant Anthropic, and the name of Clawdbot is too similar to the Claude model under its banner, with a risk of abuse。
In terms of positioning, OpenClaw adjusts to an open-source personal AI assistant, who is the "digital employee" of the user. 1AI quotes Boven, and unlike traditional reactive chat robots, OpenClaw's core competitiveness lies in its “active automation” capability。
THE AI SMART BODY IS FREE TO CLEAN ITS INBOXES, BOOK SERVICES, MANAGE ITS CALENDAR AND HANDLE OTHER MATTERS WITHOUT A USER ' S INSTRUCTION. AT THE SAME TIME, IT HAS A POWERFUL MEMORY FUNCTION THAT PRESERVES ALL THE HISTORY OF DIALOGUE AND ACCURATELY REVERSES USER PREFERENCES FROM PAST DIALOGUE SEGMENTS。
Technically, OpenClaw is essentially an "organisation layer" of an AI smart body. Users are required to host a control panel (Controll Plane) on personal hardware (mainly Apple Mac Mini or VPS) that is unrelated to a model。
Through this structure, users can connect local layers to mainstream AI models such as Claude or ChatGPT, a design that ensures that documents and logs are fully stored in the user ' s home, and that they are very responsive to privacy needs。
