Open AI: OpenClaw (Clawd, Moltbot) + Kimi + Moltbook

OpenClaw — Personal AI Assistant

"Clawd was born in November 2025—a playful pun on “Claude” with a claw. It felt perfect until Anthropic’s legal team politely asked us to reconsider. Fair enough."

Moltbot came next, chosen in a chaotic 5am Discord brainstorm with the community. Molting represents growth - lobsters shed their shells to become something bigger. It was meaningful, but it never quite rolled off the tongue.

OpenClaw is where we land. And this time, we did our homework: trademark searches came back clear, domains have been purchased, migration code has been written. 
The name captures what this project has become:

Open: Open source, open to everyone, community-driven
Claw: Our lobster heritage, a nod to where we came from

OpenClaw is an open agent platform that runs on your machine and works from the chat apps you already use. WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Teams—wherever you are, your AI assistant follows.

Clawdbot just went the next step and now I'm scared. From organizing with other Clawdbots to seeking out privacy, a lot of questions come to mind. We're only at the beginning of this... so what's coming next?
