OpenClaw, the free, open source AI agent that went viral earlier this year, is now available as an app on iOS and Android. OpenClaw announced the launch on X on Tuesday. On both platforms, users can pair their phone with the OpenClaw Gateway, a routing layer that connects requests to AI agents and the tools and skills those agents rely on. The app lets users run their OpenClaw agents from their phone.
OpenClaw users have applied the agent to tasks ranging from coding to meal planning, though some have reported less-than-desirable results. The project drew attention earlier this year around the launch of MoltBook, a social media site purportedly populated entirely by agents. OpenClaw's creator, Peter Steinberger, announced in February that he had joined OpenAI. The MoltBook spectacle was later revealed by researchers to have been partially the work of humans impersonating agents, a stunt described as effective theater that doubled as marketing for OpenClaw.
