OpenClaw brings open-source AI agents to iOS and Android apps
Your pocket now runs autonomous agents that code, plan meals, and more.
OpenClaw, the free and open-source AI agent that took the internet by storm earlier this year, is now available as a mobile app on both iOS and Android. Announced Tuesday on X, the app pairs with the OpenClaw Gateway, a routing layer that connects user requests to AI agents and their associated tools and skills. This means you can run your custom OpenClaw agents directly from your pocket, enabling automated tasks like coding, meal planning, and more—though some users have reported mixed results.
The launch follows OpenClaw's viral moment around MoltBook, a social media site supposedly populated entirely by AI agents. However, researchers later revealed that humans were impersonating agents, effectively turning the stunt into marketing theater. Despite the credibility cost, it highlighted the growing agentic future. OpenClaw’s creator, Peter Steinberger, joined OpenAI in February. With agents now embedded across the AI landscape, OpenClaw’s mobile debut brings autonomous assistance to a wider audience.
