OpenClaw has been the talk of the AI town — letting users make AI agents to manage emails, take control of Spotify and many more weird things. Now, Sam Altman has announced that OpenAI has (sort of) acquired OpenClaw by hiring developer Peter Steinberger.
"I’m joining OpenAI to work on bringing agents to everyone. OpenClaw will move to a foundation and stay open and independent," Steinberger commented. Meta also pursued him aggressively, but it was Sam Altman’s commitment to sponsor the project and shared vision that pushed him towards OpenAI.
