OpenClaw Foundation is officially operational, with Tencent joining as one of the founding partners alongside OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Microsoft.

According to Dapp Radar, the open-source personal AI agent project OpenClaw has announced that its non-profit foundation, the OpenClaw Foundation, is now officially operational.

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that runs on users' own devices. It can access email, calendars, chat tools, and local apps, allowing AI to perform tasks directly for users.

The foundation will be responsible for the governance, funding, community, and long-term maintenance of OpenClaw, ensuring the project remains open-source and independent.

The official statement indicates that OpenClaw will continue to be under the MIT license. Peter Steinberger will continue to lead the project, particularly in technical decision-making. OpenAI has also pledged to support OpenClaw as a standalone open project.

The initial partners include OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, the University of Michigan, GitHub, Cloudflare, Vercel, among others. The Chinese company Tencent is also on the list, mainly involved in security, deployment, and infrastructure support.
