SaveState Now Available on ClawHub

Install SaveState as an OpenClaw skill in seconds. Time Machine for AI with AES-256-GCM encryption, 6 platform adapters, and cross-platform migration.

We're excited to announce that SaveState is now available as a skill on ClawHub — the skill marketplace for OpenClaw agents.

What This Means for OpenClaw Users

If you're running OpenClaw, you can now install SaveState in seconds:

clawhub install savestate

That's it. Your agent now has the ability to snapshot, restore, and migrate its own state. Time Machine for AI, built right in.

Why SaveState Matters

Your AI assistant accumulates knowledge over time — your preferences, your workflows, your conversation history. This isn't just data; it's a relationship. What happens when:

  • You need to migrate to a different platform?
  • A service update wipes your agent's memory?
  • You want to restore your agent after a catastrophic failure?

Without SaveState, you lose everything. With it, you're one command away from recovery.

Security First: AES-256-GCM Encryption

Unlike live-sync solutions that transmit your data in plaintext, SaveState encrypts everything locally before it leaves your machine:

User passphrase
    → scrypt key derivation (N=2^17, r=8, p=1)
    → 256-bit AES key
    → AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption

Your encryption keys never leave your device. We literally cannot read your backups — and that's by design.

Comparing to alternatives: Some tools offer free "live sync" features, but they're transmitting your AI's memories — including sensitive conversations — without encryption. We believe your AI identity deserves the same protection as your passwords.

6 Platform Adapters

SaveState works across the AI ecosystem:

Platform Extract Restore
OpenClaw/Clawdbot ✅ Full ✅ Full
Claude Code ✅ Full ✅ Full
OpenAI Assistants ✅ Full ✅ Full
ChatGPT ✅ Full ⚠️ Memory
Claude (claude.ai) ✅ Full ⚠️ Memory
Gemini ✅ Full ⚠️ Limited

This means you can snapshot your ChatGPT conversations and migrate them to Claude Code — or vice versa. Cross-platform AI identity is finally possible.

What's Captured

SaveState archives your complete AI identity:

  • Identity: System prompts, personality files, custom instructions
  • Memory: Platform memories, learned preferences, context
  • Conversations: Full thread history with metadata
  • Configuration: Tools, integrations, settings

Everything is stored in our open SaveState Archive Format (SAF) — no vendor lock-in for your backup tool either.
