Peter亲口讲OpenClaw怎么从手机小工具火成470万周下载的开源项目,还说起爆红后他犯了哪些错。
去年11月,Peter Steinberger因为嫌手机上没好用的编程代理工具,自己动手做了OpenClaw。几个月后,这个开源项目吸引了近3000名贡献者,周下载量峰值达到470万。在Startup School 2026演讲中,他回顾了OpenClaw爆红后的失控过程、自己成长中的失误,以及最终为何不再使用这款为自己打造的产品。他还分享了三条经验,包括“好玩就是速度”。

Last November, @steipete was annoyed that there was no good way to talk to his coding agents from his phone, so he built one himself. A few months later, OpenClaw exploded into one of the biggest open source AI projects in the world, with nearly 3,000 contributors and a peak of 4.7 million weekly downloads. At Startup School 2026, Peter tells the story of what happened when OpenClaw took off, what he got wrong as it grew, and how he eventually stopped using the product he had built for himself. He shares why the best products often start with something that annoys you, why focus matters more as building gets easier, and why, in his words, “fun is velocity.” 01:16 — How OpenClaw Started 05:10 — Finding Product-Market Fit 07:01 — The Night OpenClaw Went Viral 09:50 — When the Project Exploded 11:05 — When the Attention Almost Broke Him 12:00 — Did You Sell Out? 14:17 — Your Name Can’t Be Forked 15:03 — What OpenClaw Got Wrong 20:40 — Hype Is Like the Weather 21:37 — When It Stopped Being Fun 25:30 — Fun Is Velocity 26:40 — What’s Next for OpenClaw 28:57 — Three Lessons From Building OpenClaw 30:08 — Q&A Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 💬 7 🔄 9 ❤️ 53 👀 14539 📊 15 ⚡
