This is a tool that extends ChatGPT to run on your actual desktop, read and edit files, execute tests, and split work across multiple AI workers that maintain context between tasks. It's a Chrome extension paired with a local app that gives ChatGPT real capabilities beyond conversation.

• ChatGPT can now access your filesystem, run terminal commands, keep processes open, and see results in real-time instead of just talking about what it would do
• You can spawn multiple workers to handle independent jobs in parallel, and they retain context so the next task picks up where the previous one left off
• You can interrupt and correct long-running tasks mid-execution, and save/resume entire sessions with full worker history using Compact & Resume

OpenClaw released a massive 2.0 update built by 933 contributors over nearly two months, completely overhauling installation, the browser app, and core infrastructure. The update lets people start with existing AI subscriptions and models, then grow their automation workflows from simple tasks to complex multiplayer collaborations.

• The release contains 16,000 pull requests (50% of all PRs ever merged) and touched every part of the platform because simplifying installation forced a complete foundation rebuild
• Installation now uses what's already on your computer—existing ChatGPT/Claude subscriptions, API keys, local models—cutting setup time so you can start having conversations immediately
• OpenClaw introduced shared cloud sessions that turn automation into a multiplayer experience, letting teams collaborate on tasks with full context intact
