OpenClaw 2.0 is here: A Crowdsourced update to the AI agent is now live

Over the weekend, OpenClaw 2.0, the open-source AI agent, became available. OpenClaw Foundation announced that this was the largest update in the history of OpenClaw, thanks to a crowd-sourced effort involving 933 contributors. Of these, 569 contributors were first-time contributors. OpenClaw 2.0 simplifies the setup process, featuring a new browser app and Shared Cloud Sessions, a multiplayer experience.

Users can now collaborate on ongoing tasks with all context preserved. Other enhancements include a search function for past conversations, real-time session progress tracking, and additional widgets and dashboards. Major security updates include a private credential request feature for secure credential sharing. OpenClaw 2.0 is available for download on Mac or Windows.

However, users should be aware of the cybersecurity risks associated with handing their device to an AI agent.
