OpenClaw Explained: How It Works and Is It Safe

AI agents are no longer limited to answering questions. Some of them can now take action on your machine. OpenClaw, also known in some discussions as Clawdbot or Moltbot, is one of the most talked about examples of this shift. It connects a large language model to your system, allowing it to execute tasks via chat commands.

That power is impressive. It is also the reason safety concerns are trending.

Why AI agents fail without strong workflows

AI agents are having a moment. They plan tasks, reason across steps, and respond like a capable assistant. Demos look smooth. Early trials feel impressive. It is easy to think that once an agent is added, the work will take care of itself.
