OpenClaw released a major overhaul built by nearly 1,000 contributors that simplifies setup, rebuilds the browser experience, and adds multiplayer collaboration features. The 50% increase in pull requests took seven weeks instead of their usual daily releases because the team rewrote both the codebase and their shipping process simultaneously.

• Installation now starts with what's already on your computer (existing API keys, local models, ChatGPT/Claude subscriptions) rather than requiring fresh setup, letting users reach their first conversation faster
• The browser app was rebuilt as a primary experience where users can set up workflows, return to ongoing work, and follow live progress instead of treating it as secondary
• Shared cloud sessions enable multiplayer workflows—teams can collaborate on tasks with full context intact, which the OpenClaw team itself used while building this release
• The update spans every part of the system: installation, messaging, memory, skills, models, automations, plugins, security, and native apps
