The OpenClaw 2.0 release moves your sessions into SQLite
OpenClaw 2.0 has been released, featuring a migration of session data to SQLite and improved AI model integration. The update introduces multiplayer workspace capabilities and enhanced security checks for AI CLI tools, though developers warn users to back up data before upgrading.
Why it matters
As AI-driven automation tools become more common, updates that improve data management and security are critical for developers and power users.
The OpenClaw 2.0 release moves your sessions into SQLite OpenClaw is open source software that hands an AI model small standing jobs across your accounts, the kind of chore where it watches a mailbox for vendor advisories and pings you on Telegram when one names a product you run. OpenClaw 2.0 is the largest update in the project’s history.

Before you install it, look at what the upgrade does to your data. Sessions and transcripts move into SQLite. If you later want to downgrade to an older file-backed release, you have to use the current CLI to restore archived legacy transcript artifacts first, and sessions created after the migration will not show up in the older build at all. Make a verified backup before upgrading.
