This release upgrades OpenClaw and Hermes while making chat connections more reliable for both new and existing agents.

Agents now run on OpenClaw 2026.5.19-beta.2 and Hermes 0.14.0.
Existing agents are upgraded to the new OpenClaw and Hermes versions together with the latest chat connection improvements.
Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and iMessage connections are more stable for agents connected through Clawdi's chat setup.
Existing chat connections and custom bot settings are preserved more carefully during agent upgrades.
Messaging and tool integrations load more consistently on new and upgraded agents.

OpenClaw has been upgraded to the Phala 2026.5.7 release.

Instant Connect is now easier to set up and manage.

See connected Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and iMessage chats from the agent page.
Disconnect a chat when you no longer want the agent to reply there.
Pair with app-specific instructions: Telegram link, Discord command, WhatsApp QR/link, or iMessage link.
Discord now shows the connected channel, so you know exactly where the agent is active.

You can now deploy Hermes — a self-improving AI agent with deep memory, self-evolving skills, and 10-minute setup.

Deploy Hermes agents from the dashboard. Hermes learns from every task, retains memory across sessions, and gets more efficient over time.
Hermes and OpenClaw can run side by side on the same deployment — pick one engine or use both together.
Hermes comes with 200+ third-party tool integrations and web scraping built in, ready to use out of the box.
The channel setup panel now supports 11 platforms in one unified view — Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, QQ, Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, WeChat, Mattermost, and Matrix.
The landing page has been redesigned with a clearer comparison of OpenClaw vs Hermes and what each plan includes.

Agent Portraits, new dashboard pages, and quality-of-life improvements.

Agent Portraits — your agent now has a public profile page you can share on social media with a single link.
New Console page with a built-in terminal, file editor, and log viewer for your deployment.
New Connectors page — browse available third-party tools and add them to your agent with one click.
You can now assign different messaging channels to each agent individually.
Onboarding now defaults to OpenClaw mode for new users.
Long-running tasks like file operations no longer time out unexpectedly.

This release expands built-in skills, adds new proxied data services, and fixes a few rough edges in the product experience.

New deployments now get the Clawdi plugin by default — no manual setup needed.
Your agent can now search news, browse X (Twitter) posts, and check Polymarket predictions as built-in skills.
These integrations work out of the box with zero configuration.
Wide markdown tables now scroll instead of overflowing the chat view.
The Discord setup guide link was fixed.

This release improves deployment reliability and day-to-day operations in the dashboard.

Clawdi deployments now recover better after infrastructure restarts.
Start, stop, restart, and delete actions now behave more consistently in the dashboard.
We improved the checks around deployment health, connectivity, and migrations.

This release gives teams more control over messaging bots and makes channel setup easier to manage.

This release makes it easier to update running agents from the dashboard.

You can now update key deployment settings from the dashboard.
The Config panel makes it easier to adjust Telegram and messaging settings on an active deployment.
The update flow now waits for the agent to come back before it marks the change as complete.

This release improves integrations and reduces setup work for connected tools.

Clawdi now supports Composio MCP workflows.
The dashboard now exposes a per-user MCP endpoint and token flow.
Deployment configuration now handles more of the integration setup automatically.

This was the first public foundation for the Clawdi product.

Clawdi launched its web app, backend foundation, authentication, dashboard, and shared platform structure.
This established the base for deployments, billing, account management, and future product improvements.
