# OpenClaw AI agent platform 2.0 update > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/openclaw-ai-agent-platform-20-update > Updated: 2026-09-02T07:31:58.000Z. Sources: 30. Developments: 2. OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent platform, has released version 2.0 (designated as version 2026.8.1). This major update involves a significant overhaul of the software architecture, including a migration from file-based session storage to a SQLite database. The update introduces a redesigned browser interface to serve as a centralized workspace for managing settings, files, and agent activity. New features include a guided onboarding process that automatically detects existing AI credentials or local models, such as those running through Ollama or LM Studio. To facilitate teamwork, the platform added “Shared Cloud Sessions,” a “multiplayer” feature allowing authorized collaborators to join or take over tasks via a Gateway without requiring direct access to provider credentials. Following a transition to a nonprofit foundation in July, the project now faces increased competition from specialized features in ChatGPT and Claude, as well as integrated tools like Microsoft’s Scout. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: OpenClaw 2.0 releases major update for open-source AI agent OpenClaw has launched version 2.0, featuring a redesigned browser workspace, guided setup for local and API-based AI models, and new shared cloud sessions for collaborative work. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/openclaw-20-releases-major-update-for-open-source-ai-agent ### 2026-08-31: OpenClaw releases major 2.0 update for AI agent platform OpenClaw has launched version 2.0, a massive crowdsourced update featuring a rebuilt browser interface, simplified setup, and new multiplayer cloud sessions for team-based AI agent collaboration. 27 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/openclaw-releases-20-its-largest-open-source-ai-agent-update --- Cite as: OpenClaw AI agent platform 2.0 update.
