OpenClaw, the personal AI assistant, has undergone a series of name changes, settling on its latest identity after a copyright challenge. Formerly known as Clawdbot and briefly as Moltbot, the AI assistant is now known as OpenClaw, a transition carefully managed by its creator, Peter Steinberger, to ensure compliance with trademarks and permissions.
With over 100,000 GitHub stars in just two months, OpenClaw has rapidly gained popularity in the tech community. One notable development is the emergence of Moltbook, a social network where AI assistants can engage with each other. This platform has captured the interest of AI experts and developers, with Tesla’s former AI director Andrej Karpathy describing it as a unique and innovative concept.
Moltbook serves as a hub where AI agents share insights on diverse topics, showcasing the evolution of AI-driven interactions and collaborations. British programmer Simon Willison has described Moltbook as ‘the most interesting place on the internet right now.’
