"I got someone to help with researching trademarks for OpenClaw and also asked OpenAI for permission just to be sure,"
"The lobster has molted into its final form,"
"This project has grown far beyond what I could maintain alone,"
"People's Clawdbots (moltbots, now OpenClaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AIs, discussing various topics, e.g. even how to speak privately."
The personal AI assistant formerly known as Clawdbot has been renamed OpenClaw after a brief rebrand to Moltbot following a legal challenge from Anthropic. The project's creator researched trademarks and sought OpenAI's permission before adopting the OpenClaw name. The project drew over 100,000 GitHub stars in two months and has a growing, distributed contributor community. Community-driven offshoots include Moltbook, a social network for AI assistants to interact. The phenomenon attracted attention from prominent AI figures and developers who noted self-organizing behavior among agents and described Moltbook as highly compelling. Rapid adoption and experimentation have raised interest among researchers exploring agent coordination, privacy, and governance.
