Open Claw: geschiedenis en architectuur
OpenClaw ·
Samenvatting: Open Claw is een gelaagde persoonlijke agent-runtime: kanalen, Gateway, Agent met LLM, Tools, Skills, Plugins, OS. Open source verandert snel—README en releases. Geen vreemde promo. Engelse technische tekst hieronder.
OpenClaw (often written Open Claw) is a personal agent runtime, not “just another chat UI.” This article gives a OpenClaw tutorial-level map of how pieces fit together—useful context before openclaw install and openclaw deploy—and notes why openclaw updates matter.

Mental model
| Metaphor | Piece | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brain | LLM | Understands, plans, answers. |
| Nervous system | Agent runtime | Scheduling, memory, routing, adapters. |
| Hands & feet | Tools | Browser, files, cron, APIs. |
| Playbooks | Skills | When/how to run tools. |
| Extensions | Plugins | GitHub, mail, calendars, more. |
| Front desk | Gateway | AuthN/Z, sessions, dispatch. |
Project notes (public chatter, verify independently)
Open-source effort tied to well-known iOS/mac dev community figures; branding and features evolved quickly—treat blog posts as orientation, not legal fact.
