OpenClaw is not another chatbot. It is an AI driven control layer designed to live inside real systems. Formerly known as ClawdBot, OpenClaw evolved from a conversational experiment into an event driven assistant that reacts to time, signals, and infrastructure. Built on cronjobs, webhooks, and an agent that reasons about intent rather than rules, OpenClaw coordinates workflows, monitors systems, and takes action across tools without constant human input. It is quiet when nothing matters, decisive when something does, and designed for production environments where automation needs judgment, not just scripts.
