Peter Steinberger is the creator of OpenClaw, the open-source personal AI agent that became the most-starred project on GitHub and is now stewarded by the independent OpenClaw Foundation. First released in November 2025 under the name Clawdbot, it was later renamed Moltbot and then OpenClaw. Since February 2026 he has been at OpenAI, working on bringing agents to everyone. Before that he spent a decade building PSPDFKit (now Nutrient), a PDF SDK company he founded in Vienna in 2011 whose customers included Apple and Dropbox. Insight Partners invested $116M in 2021, and the company later reached a nine-figure exit. He studied computer science at TU Wien and lives in San Francisco.
