How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a chat interface you visit. OpenClaw is an autonomous AI agent that lives on your messaging apps and acts on your behalf. It can manage files, run code, browse the web, and integrate with your tools. It remembers everything across conversations and works 24/7.

What happened to Clawdbot and Moltbot?

OpenClaw was previously known as Clawdbot, and before that, Moltbot. The project has evolved significantly: same open-source community, much more powerful software. MyOpenClaw.cloud supports the latest version.

Do I need my own API key?

Yes, you'll need an API key from an AI provider like Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. This takes about 2 minutes to set up and gives you full control over your AI usage and costs. We walk you through it during onboarding.

The key differences explained

Privacy: Your data stays yours

ChatGPT stores your conversations on OpenAI's servers, and unless you opt out, they may use your data for training. OpenClaw runs on your own isolated instance. Your conversations never leave your control. For sensitive work, personal matters, or business use, this difference matters.

Integrations: Meet you where you are

ChatGPT requires you to open their app or website. OpenClaw lives in the apps you already use: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord. Message your AI from anywhere, anytime, without context-switching. It's like having a personal assistant in your pocket.

Actions: Talk vs. Do

ChatGPT is primarily a conversational AI. It talks. OpenClaw is built to do things: check your calendar, send emails, control smart home devices, browse the web, manage files. It's the difference between asking "How do I reschedule a meeting?" and saying "Reschedule my 3pm meeting to tomorrow" and having it done.

Memory: Context that persists

Both have memory features, but OpenClaw's is more comprehensive. It remembers context across all your messaging platforms, your preferences, your workflows. ChatGPT's memory is improving but still limited and platform-bound.
