"For more than a year now, Big AI companies have promised us an "agentic AI" future. AI wouldn't simply answer our queries or help us shop for a toaster, companies like OpenAI and Anthropic assured us-it would actually do useful things. Turns out, the AI giants are generally too squeamish and cost-sensitive to actually release such a tool."
"Rather, it's a kludgey, wildly complex, open-source platform that's already provoked a trademark dispute, multiple corporate bans-and fawning praise from developers around the world. It's OpenClaw, and it's specifically designed to build AI agents."
OpenClaw is an open-source platform designed specifically for building AI agents that has gained significant popularity among developers, despite its complexity and a trademark dispute. While major AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have promised an agentic AI future where AI systems take autonomous actions, these companies remain reluctant to release such tools due to safety concerns and cost sensitivity. AI agents can cause harm or make mistakes at scale, making companies cautious about deployment. The author built and trained an AI agent using OpenClaw to perform job tasks, demonstrating the platform's practical capabilities and appeal to developers seeking functional AI solutions.
