# OpenClaw Framework

> The AI agent execution framework powering Haven.

## What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the AI agent framework that Haven is built on. It provides the infrastructure for tool-calling, multi-step reasoning, and cross-chain execution that makes autonomous yield management possible.

Developers can use OpenClaw to build their own AI-powered DeFi applications, leveraging Haven's yield and risk infrastructure as a skill layer via [HavenSkill](/haven-ai-docs/core-products/havenskill.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Haven is an official OpenClaw integration partner. HavenSkill is available in the OpenClaw skill registry and is maintained by the Haven team.
