The OpenClaw team shipped v2026.3.24 yesterday, a release packed with compatibility improvements and user experience enhancements across the board.

OpenAI-Compatible Gateway

The headline feature is expanded OpenAI compatibility. The Gateway now exposes:

  • /v1/models — list available models
  • /v1/embeddings — embedding generation
  • Explicit model overrides through /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses

This broadens client and RAG tool compatibility significantly. Thanks to @vincentkoc for the implementation.

Tools Visibility Overhaul

Agents and tools received a substantial UX upgrade:

  • /tools now shows only tools the current agent can actually use
  • New compact default view with optional detailed mode
  • Control UI gets a live "Available Right Now" section
  • Workspace file rows now expand with inline markdown previews

Microsoft Teams Gets First-Class Support

The Teams integration migrated to the official Microsoft Teams SDK, bringing:

  • Streaming 1:1 replies
  • Welcome cards with prompt starters
  • Feedback and reflection controls
  • Typing indicators
  • Native AI labeling

Message edit and delete support also landed.

Skills Get One-Click Installs

Seven bundled skills (coding-agent, gh-issues, openai-whisper-api, session-logs, tmux, trello, weather) now include one-click install recipes. The CLI and Control UI can automatically offer dependency installation when requirements are missing. The UI also gained status-filter tabs: All / Ready / Needs Setup / Disabled.

Security Fixes

A sandbox media dispatch vulnerability was patched — the mediaUrl/fileUrl alias bypass that could escape media-root restrictions is now closed.

Other Improvements

  • Discord: Auto-thread naming with LLM-generated titles
  • Slack: Rich reply parity restored, auto-render simple trailing Options: lines as buttons
  • Docker: Setup no longer fails before gateway comes up
  • macOS app: Collapsible tree sidebar replaces horizontal pill navigation
  • Node 22.14+ now supported (while continuing to recommend Node 24)

The release includes 25+ fixes across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and the gateway. Full changelog on GitHub.
