Research Spike Report

Full report saved at: ~/.timmy/research/research_openclaw.md

Key Findings

  • What it is: Personal AI assistant gateway (TypeScript/Node.js) — sits above Ollama, adds channels + memory + cron + MCP + multi-agent routing
  • Repo: github.com/openclaw/openclaw (339k stars, 1,358 contributors, 74 releases in 4 months)
  • Current release: 2026.3.24 (Mar 25)
  • License: MIT, fully local, no telemetry
  • Governance caveat: Founder joined OpenAI Feb 2026 — transitioning to open foundation

15+ Backlog Issues Directly Solved

Including: #22 (Ollama switch), #20 (heartbeat), #19 (MCP), #551 (morning briefing), #610 (shadow context), #660 (three-layer game arch), #13 (Nostr identity)

OpenClaw-RL

Separate project (Gen-Verse/OpenClaw-RL) — RL training loop wrapping OpenClaw. Not suitable for M3 Max full training (needs CUDA), but trajectory collection + Tinker LoRA mode works. Use as trajectory generator, feed into existing MLX DPO pipeline.

Integration Plan

See timmy-config epic and child issues for phased bootstrap.
