v1.7.0
LatestA redesigned app that opens in a conversation with your assistant, and an OpenClaw upgrade you can run from inside it.
Highlights
Chat first
HolaClaw now opens in your assistant's chat. Every conversation sits in the sidebar, with an unread dot and a badge when it came in over Telegram or Slack, and your chats stay where you left them when you restart the app.
Upgrade OpenClaw in the app
When your assistant runs an OpenClaw version this release was not tested with, a banner offers to upgrade it in place. This release brings the bundled assistant to OpenClaw 2026.8.2.
