OpenClaw Android stuck in Play review; Sundar replies

Peter Steinberger asked publicly for a Google contact after OpenClaw’s Android app sat in Play review for more than a week. Sundar Pichai replied “Ack, will follow up.” Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem, followed with “Sorry for that. Will get back to you quickly.” No ship confirmation by end of day. The app is still in review.

Hermes + OpenClaw Hold ~35.8% of Tracked Agent Repo Stars

Analyst post notes OpenClaw (~394k stars) + Hermes (~260k) account for 35.79% of stars in Agent Radar’s tracked cohort. OpenClaw leads cumulative attention; Hermes leads recent absolute additions. Caveats on non-unique users and that stars ≠ execution quality or retention.

Mapping the Open Agent Landscape (Including Hermes & OpenClaw)

A practical map of nine open-source agent systems organized by style: bot rosters (rakazo, OpenMausBot, OpenBot), agent teams (eigent, paperclip), single agents (openhuman, hermes-agent), and chat-native (nanoclaw, openclaw). Includes star counts and one-line positioning. Advice: pick the one that matches how you already work, run it on a real task for a week, keep only if it saves more time than it costs to host.
