What's new in HolaClaw

A redesigned app that opens in a conversation with your assistant, and an OpenClaw upgrade you can run from inside it.

• Feature Open HolaClaw in a conversation with your assistant, with all your chats in the sidebar and the rest of the app beneath them.
• Feature See how full a chat is with a meter in its header, and open a details view that lists the files your assistant made, with a download for each, and the links mentioned in the conversation.
• Feature Type `/` in the composer to browse and pick your assistant's commands.
• Feature Upgrade your assistant's OpenClaw from a banner in the app when it is behind the version this release supports.
• Feature Change which browser your assistant drives after creating it, under Host in the app or with `holaclaw browser set`.
• Fix Fixed a chat getting stuck on "Connecting" until you restarted the app. The connection now reconnects on its own, including after your Mac wakes from sleep.
• Fix Fixed replies your assistant produced elsewhere, such as an answer on Telegram, streaming into the open chat as if they belonged to it.
• Fix Fixed starting a new conversation failing on the first attempt and leaving a pending approval nothing would clear.
• Fix Fixed an assistant rejecting every request for a few minutes after being started from stopped.
• Fix Fixed troubleshooting bundles growing to several gigabytes, because each one contained every bundle exported before it.
• Other Updated the bundled assistant to OpenClaw 2026.8.2, with its plugins now pinned alongside it.
• Other Your assistant no longer runs OpenClaw's own update check or shows its update notices. HolaClaw handles upgrades.
• Other Leave the assistant name out of CLI commands when only one is installed.
• Other Run each local model at the sampler settings its authors publish.
