OpenClaw 2.0 setup turns a regular AI model into a full-fledged personal agent.<\/strong> AI agents can already do far more than a standard chat: they can work with files, calendars, and email, run commands, search for information, and automate routine tasks. OpenClaw<\/a> quickly became one of the most prominent open-source projects in this space and gathered hundreds of thousands of stars on GitHub<\/a> within just a few months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I have been following the development of AI tools for a long time, and OpenClaw caught my attention because an agent like this can become part of your everyday workflow: you can give it the tools it needs, access to files and services, and real tasks to handle. In this guide, I will show you step by step how to install OpenClaw 2.0 and set up your own AI agent for everyday work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

OpenClaw 2.0 is the official name of the v2026.8.1<\/a> release.<\/strong> It was followed by v2026.8.2, v2026.9.1, v2026.9.2, and v2026.9.3. This guide is based on my own hands-on experience: I installed OpenClaw from scratch, went through onboarding, connected a model, Telegram, memory, web search, and other features, and figured out how everything works in practice along the way.<\/strong> I used the official documentation to verify commands, current settings, and the changes introduced after the first 2.0 release.<\/p>\r\n

Project history: from a weekend project to a global phenomenon<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It all started in November 2025, when Austrian developer Peter Steinberger published a weekend project called Clawdbot. The idea was simple: you message it in Telegram or WhatsApp, and it does things for you \u2014 manages your calendar, sorts through email, runs scripts, and searches the web.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In January 2026, the project began gaining traction rapidly. After Anthropic asked for the Clawdbot name to be changed, it was first renamed Moltbot and soon after became OpenClaw. The project continued to grow under that name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Later, the project was transferred to the independent OpenClaw Foundation, where it continued to develop as an open-source project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On August 31, 2026, version v2026.8.1 was released and documented as OpenClaw 2.0. It significantly changed installation, initial setup, memory, automations, and security.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What changed in version 2.0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Version 2.0 reworked several important parts of OpenClaw:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
