People have flocked to the OpenClaw artificial intelligence agent since it was launched in November by Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger. The digital assistant can use your computer to handle complex tasks that previously only a human could undertake, such as making travel bookings, prioritizing emails and drafting replies, surveying product catalogs and emailing vendors. This leap in productivity comes with a catch: OpenClaw has proved to be a gift to hackers.
“It’s simply not done yet — but we’re getting there,” he wrote in an email in February. “Given the massive interest and open nature and the many folks contributing, we’re making tons of progress on that front.”
