OpenClaw launches free enterprise control plane for AI agents

Managing a single AI agent is one thing. Managing dozens of them across departments, teams, and security boundaries in a large organization is a completely different beast. OpenClaw thinks it has the answer. The OpenClaw Foundation launched OpenClaw Enterprise (OCE) on September 29, a free, open-source control plane purpose-built for running persistent AI agents in multi-user and sensitive enterprise environments. The platform adds multi-tenancy, auditability, governance controls, and enhanced security boundaries on top of the existing OpenClaw agent framework, essentially turning what started as a personal AI tool into something an enterprise IT team could actually deploy without losing sleep. From OpenAI side project to enterprise foundation OCE’s origin story has an unusual arc. The project’s development began inside OpenAI before being donated to the OpenClaw Foundation, a move that gave it independence from any single vendor while preserving the engineering momentum behind it. Peter Steinberger originally created OpenClaw as an autonomous AI agent framework in late 2025, and the tool has evolved rapidly since. The foundation has lined up some heavyweight collaborators.
