Description

Expected Behavior

When a user interacts with OpenClaw, the agent should provide a single, clear response to each query or request. Responses should be concise and not duplicated within the same conversation context.

Actual Behavior

The agent repeatedly provides the same response multiple times in a single interaction, even after the user has already received a complete answer. This creates a frustrating and confusing user experience.

User Context

I have previously reported this exact issue, but was told it is "normal" behavior. However, this is unacceptable in a production assistant tool:

  1. Recent Similar Issue: I had already reported this problem before, but the agent continues to exhibit this behavior
  2. Impact on Workflow: This disrupts the user workflow significantly:
    • Running complex multi-step tasks becomes confusing
    • Time-sensitive operations are slowed down
    • Users cannot distinguish between new information and duplicate content
  3. User Experience: It feels like the agent is broken and cannot complete a simple task properly

Steps to reproduce

Reproduction Steps

  1. Start a new session with OpenClaw
  2. Ask the agent to perform a simple task or query
  3. Observe that the agent provides the same information repeatedly without user prompting
  4. This occurs even with straightforward requests like speed tests, file operations, or system status queries

TL;DR

The most likely fix for the issue of OpenClaw repeatedly providing the same response is to review and adjust the conversation context handling logic.

Guidance

  • Review the conversation context management to ensure it correctly tracks and updates the state of user interactions, preventing duplicate responses.
  • Verify that the issue persists across different types of queries and requests to identify any patterns or specific triggers.
  • Check the OpenClaw version and model (omlx.qwen3.5.35b) for any known issues or updates that may address this problem.
  • Consider testing the issue with a different model or version to isolate the cause.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the OpenClaw implementation, but reviewing the conversation context handling logic might involve checking functions or methods responsible for tracking user interactions and generating responses.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific technical details about the OpenClaw implementation, making it challenging to offer a precise solution. However, focusing on the conversation context and response generation logic is a reasonable starting point.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the conversation context handling logic, as this approach allows for immediate action without waiting for potential updates to OpenClaw or its models.
