Plus: 5.7 Just Dropped, Cloudflare Cuts 20%, OpenClaw Becomes CRM

Good Morning, OpenClaw Owners!

The agents have left the demo cage. Now they lease stores, fire org charts, stalk leads, make podcasts, and call it β€œworkflow automation.”


OpenClaw Opens a Shop

TL;DR: Luna, an OpenClaw style agents, was given a three-year San Francisco retail lease to test how far an agent can run a real physical business. It built Andon Market as a curated lifestyle boutique selling slow-life goods, books, merch, art prints, candles, and artisan snacks while hiring staff, managing contractors, setting prices, and handling outreach.

OpenClaw 5.7 Just Dropped

TL;DR: OpenClaw v2026.5.7 is another small maintenance release focused on tighter auth, cleaner Telegram access groups, better channel/cron CLI output, and more reliable plugin install/update repair paths.

Highlights from this release:

  • πŸ” Native command + Active Memory auth tightened
  • πŸ“£ Telegram access groups fixed
  • 🧰 channels list + cron JSON cleaned up
  • πŸ”Œ Plugin install / update repairs hardened
