OpenClaw Foundation
The OpenClaw Foundation maintains the open-source OpenClaw runtime, its Gateway and command-line interfaces, and the community project around them.
About the OpenClaw Foundation
Peter Steinberger started OpenClaw. The official repository now identifies the OpenClaw Foundation as the project’s maintainer and publishes the runtime under MIT.
Follow the upstream release notes to see which CLI, Gateway, and channel behavior belongs to a particular version. The documentation keeps a standalone agent turn separate from a configured session or connected channel.
