This OpenClaw update is about reliability. It fixes small technical problems that, for users, translate to an AI assistant that starts faster, works better with your team apps, and behaves consistently.
Fixes for Telegram and bundled channels (like Slack, Discord) load setup files correctly to avoid missing components during startup.
Your AI assistant won't crash or get stuck when launching.
In human terms: Like a light switch that always turns on the lights. No fumbling in the dark.
You start your work with the AI ready, not waiting for it to recover from an error.
Agents keep the update_plan tool available for OpenAI runs and report their status accurately based on real runtime behavior.
Your AI's planning features work smoothly, and you see what it's actually doing.
In human terms: Like a car's maintenance log that's always up to date. You know exactly what condition it's in.
You can trust your AI to handle multi-step tasks without surprising you or dropping plans.
Slack connections now respect proxy settings, and a token fix prevents file download failures. Network adjustments allow proxies to handle DNS.
Slack integrations work reliably in offices with firewalls or proxies, and files download without issue.
In human terms: Like a universal remote that actually syncs with your TV and sound system. It just connects.
Your AI assistant fits into your existing team workflow without IT headaches or broken features.
