Founder, Creator of OpenClaw (open-source AI agent); Researcher & Engineer now at OpenAI

Peter Steinberger is an Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur known for creating OpenClaw (initially released as Clawdbot, then Moltbot), a viral open-source personal AI assistant that autonomously performs tasks such as managing calendars, sending emails, and executing workflows. The project amassed massive community traction on GitHub as a demonstration of autonomous agents. In February 2026, he joined OpenAI to work on the next generation of personal AI agents, bringing his experience building practical, multi-agent systems to a broader platform while keeping OpenClaw open-source and supported through an independent foundation.
