- OpenAI steps up efforts to create personal AI agents
- ChatGPT creator hired OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger
- OpenClaw continues as an “open and independent” platform
OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger set to join OpenAI as ChatGPT creator focuses on “the next generation of personal agents.”
“He’s a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very intelligent agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people,” Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, confirmed in an X post.
OpenAI expects personal and multi-agent systems to become central to its upcoming product offerings as it seeks to integrate AI into the most human elements of our lives.
OpenAI hires OpenClaw founder
OpenClaw, formerly known as MoltBot and Clawdbot, is marketed as “the AI that actually does things” and is capable of managing calendars, booking flights, responding to emails and even automating tasks on third-party services.
The platform has also gained popularity in recent weeks on social media sites like TikTok, with users showing themselves setting up fully dedicated devices to run the AI agent locally.
“OpenClaw will live on in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support,” Altman said, despite the company acquiring the OpenClaw founder. Steinberger said OpenClaw would remain “open and independent.”
Steinberger said in a blog post that he was excited to “be part of the frontier of AI research and development” with OpenAI. “What I want is to change the world, not build a big company and teaming up with OpenAI is the fastest way to bring that to everyone,” he added.
Peter Steinberger’s official title and responsibilities have not been confirmed.
