Peter Steinberger, OpenClaw's founder, is joining OpenAI to drive personal agents. OpenClaw will become an open-source project within OpenAI's foundation, continuing to be supported. It has gained over 100,000 stars on GitHub and 2 million visitors in a week since its introduction in November. Steinberger says OpenAI is the best place to continue his vision and expand OpenClaw's reach.
