According to Beating, open-source AI assistant OpenClaw (GitHub 367K stars) released v2026.4.29 on April 29, marking its second update in two days. The memory system evolved from simple retrieval-based recall to personalized wiki, enabling agents to automatically build character profiles and track relationship graphs, with each memory tagged with source traceability and evidence type. Active Memory now supports filtering by conversation ID, allowing operators to enable recall for specific conversations only.
The messaging system introduces a new "commitment" feature that implicitly extracts follow-up promises from conversations (e.g., "remind you tomorrow," "check progress next week") and delivers them via heartbeat mechanism, supporting independent configuration per agent and channel. Default message queuing switched from sequential processing to steer mode, reading all pending messages at model inference boundaries to reduce interruptions.
