OpenClaw
An agentic AI platform that allows users to build, install, and run AI agents that can use skills from the ClawHub marketplace. OpenClaw agents can read files, execute shell commands, browse the web, send communications, and perform other real-world actions depending on which skills are installed and what permissions are granted. The OpenClaw ecosystem experienced a major security crisis in early 2026 when the ClawHavoc campaign planted over 1,000 malicious skills in ClawHub.
